Cruise ideas for 2013?

[dumpycapri85]

How about a average time awards like they do for NMRA true street where the average of 3 runs closest to the .0 time takes an award . That way a guy with a 6.0 , 7.0 , 8.0 , 9.0 , 10.0 average can get an award . It would let everybody have a shot at something . Make it a small prize and give more of them .

they willing to cart their cars down here?

I'm sure several of them would be.

We did an event a few years back where we met up in Irving. Drove to the track and made 3 passes back to back to back.

Fast408 won in his capri, with something like a 5.40 average.

The mobile dyno is expensive, as I think most of them want to be paid for X time, and not per dyno from waht I remember.

The autocross in the back parking lot may be something to think about. I'll check on it. I have some ideas..

Brooks I dig the Pass Time's deal, the winner gets some free fab work from you lol

Believe it or not, I was going to donate some time/fab work I think. Just depends on how the shop is doing then....

That would be bad ass! Also depending if a local shop was to step in with winning a free dyno tune would be sweet too

Sound like a deal to me

*1/4 mile, probably not - as a lot of our people may not be 'legal' for the times they'd run.
it's the 10th year, something big has to be done.

Fuck. If we rent the track out, there's no tech right?

I don't know for sure, but two things come to mind.

There's tech for a reason and who's going to foot the bill for the rental?

I agree with tech, my fast car is legal but not runnin yet as u know, and my slower car doesn't need anything tech'd, and I have a helmet lol.

If said fast cars pass tech at either of the eigth tracks, shouldn't they pass at a qtr mile track? I do know DR doesn't really tech, so maybe we could just go there? I ran 10s in my Vette half a dozen times and was never yelled at for a roll bar/cage.

Just tryin to mix it up a little, not trying to stir up any trouble.

[musclestang89]

Just letting everyone know for tomorrow at the cruise, K-dale has been cracking down on tech. Just be careful .


I like the idea of some index racing or some bracket racing. But thats just me. One thing is, our cruises needs more racing. Alot of people show up but there are times when no one is in line to race. Just what I have seen from the past. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Brooks, I think you are underestimating the number of our members that drive thier cars daily, and dont have a "drag only" setup. Especailly witht the new 5.0's out, there are lots of members that have cars that can do more than a straight line.

Is there a drag strip that we can do an autocross in the back parking lot somewhere? We could have drags on the strip, autocross in the back of the paddock, and a show-n-shine up front. Maybe have an award for best average place if entered in all three (show-n-shine, brackets and autocross)?

This would be a good idea, and make for a more fun day!
