North Texas Biathlon

Is your car the fastest and best handling in the metroplex? It's time to burn and turn. Join us at North Star Dragway in Denton for the Summer Cruise bracket race on Saturday August 20th with the gates opening at 6 PM and bracket racing starting at 7 PM. General admission is $10 and $5 more to enter the bracket race. Equipe Rapide is hosting Challenge Cup #6 on Sunday August 21st at Pennington Field in Bedford with no general admission fees and $35 to enter the autocross. Scores will be based on finishing positions in the bracket race and the autocross Rapide PAX challenge. Scores will be added together from both events and the three lowest scores will win a trophy and bragging rights. The rules are simple. Run the same car at each event with only tire and wheel changes allowed. Making adjustments to suspensions are allowed but no swapping parts. You can get more information about the Summer Cruise at http://www.northstar-dragway.com

Online registration is available for the autocross. Rules for Equipe Rapide events are located on our website. www.autocross.com/er.

Yes ive gotta lot of work to do!!

You need to clarify - this is NOT part of the normal DFWStangs cruise that I host. It's 5$ for a TECH CARD and there is NO fee to run in a DFWStangs cruise 'class'.

[Nomadtrash]

You are correct. Cars would be entering the bracket race for $5 in the criuse class. $10 gets you in the gate.

Just to clarify, the autocross and the bracket racing are two separate events. You can do either event or both. Only those that do both are competing for the Biathlon championship.

Who is planning to attend both days? I'm about to buy some trophies. If I'm the only one then I'll buy a really big expensive trophy.

Do you/y'all plan on doing this for the fall cruise? If so I'm all in.

There are 5-6 top notch autocross groups in the metroplex. We try to stagger our events so that no two groups overlap on the same day. In order to do this we get together in December and set the schedule for the next season. It just happened that the summer Cruise was scheduled the day before our autocross. There is no autocross scheduled on the day after the fall cruise. I'll check this website and get with turbostang when I make out the 2012 schedule to see if we can coordinate a biathlon next year. Is your issue with the date of the summer cruise, heat, or location? I noticed that it bounces between North Star and Kennedale.

I would, sounds fun, but its hot, my cars not ready, and denton is a long ways from me.

It's the date more than anything for me. I'm still working on trying to make it to both but work may not allow it to happen. which sucks because my car is pretty well set up for both with just a couple of shock tweaks.

Call in sick.

[Osiris]

I'm in.

This is a reminder that online registration for the autocross on Sunday ends at midnight tonight. We allow on-site registration on Sunday morning from 8-9. I look forward to meeting all of you on Saturday at the Cruise and hope a few will participate in the autocross on Sunday. If you have any questions just come find the guy in the really slow white 95 vert running 10.40's. You can check out the autocross registration info at www.autocross.com/er.
