    ^ everyone pays a gate admission, but we build it into the price of the events, so you actually will pay once. last year we had people pay to get in then register and pay for the show seperate; but that got a little confusing.

    this year everyone will pay at the gate for whatever they are doing.

    Why not the normal drag racing classes like N/A, Turbo, FWD, Etc?

    I don't understand the closet E.T. thing, I could win money by running lower 14's with a stock car with an autmocatic because of the consistency as opposed to running a 13.8 and beating the slower cars.

    it was designed around a normal test-n-tune... the shows previous to this at the track showed classes didn't work out, maybe we'll change the format next year if we get enough response to. w/ the format as is levels the playing field for most drivers. but keep the suggestions coming i would like to see what UP thinks considering they are the most experience track guys on the site

    Why not divide the classes similar to the way some shops do dyno battles?

    4 cyl n/a
    4 cyl +1 power adder
    4 cyl unlimited

    6 cyl n/a
    6 cyl +1
    6 cyl unlimited

    8 cyl n/a
    8 cyl +1
    8 cyl unlimited

    and just to get a little more people interested maybe add:

    2 door n/a
    2 door with adders
    4 door n/a
    4 door with adders

    You could compete in multiple classes and win in multiple classes possibly. Don't know how everyone feels about that, so I'll put it out there. That's 15 different classes that should be able to cover everybody from 100 hp guys to 1000 hp beasts. It wouldn't be fair to go up against someone that has power adders and you don't, just like it wouldn't be fair to be pitted against a purpose built race car either.

    Power adder would need to be defined. Obviously, it usually means nitrous or FI, but you know how many ying yangs are out there so you wouldn't want someone running both or something. You also don't want to have a clear cut winner right out of the gate or people will lose interest. Most people like close racing. If you put some badass 10 sec Honda against a 14 sec car, it's a no brainer. People don't like to watch that. People would much rather watch (and participate) if they have a shot at winning or atleast placing. If you don't spread the field out a little, you'll have folks not wanting to do it because they know they don't have a chance before it even starts.

    Either way....that's my .

    your kinda missing the point, its like a friday night at the track, except you are running for money

    last year we got a great response guys were getting 8-13 runs in like it was nothing and we had over 125+ competitors on the track.... like i said before thanx for the suggestions we'll take it into consideration for the next show

    I WILL BE THURRR!! Of course VN has to support our IA boys!

    If you're still taking suggestions - a good way was like Import shootout.

    AWD
    RWD
    FWD
    Unlimited

    Most AWD cars are evenly matched - same with FWD and RWD, and keep the big dawgs in the unlimited to give the little guys a chance, LOL.

    no no no...

    darn you for ruining my plans of running a 14.01, 13.01, 12.01, and 11.01 (I wish... lol).

    And who wins the prize money for closest to 12 sec... a 11.999 or 12.001?

    you can only take one "closest to", so in that scenero you would take "closest to 13sec"... and if its "11.999 or 12.001", 12.001 would be closest to 12 secs... if your running 11sec then you running for closest to 11sec. now the other cash awards for racing are up for grabs to anyone so you could win up to 4 cash prizes racing.

    sorry for any confusion, the racing events last year, people really enjoyed, like i said its like a friday night at the track but you get more runs in and you are running for money
