Cruises this year?

[Zfan]

I am game, have your choice of 1/8th or 1/4 mile. Choose your poison!

[BigTitan21]

So is anyone actively working on getting cruises setup this year? As it has already been stated, I'm sure Brooks is really busy. Anyone else stepping up?

You are correct. If anybody wants to run 1/8 mile I can set up a staging lane for it and set the computer to do 1/8 mile passes.

Is there a good weekend we could do a sunday morning run?

[46Tbird]

I can't imagine going to a NHRA national event facility and running 1/8mi. I do understand it's harder on parts, car may be geared wrong, short wheelbase, dangerous at speed, etc. But still...

I'd be down with it. If Brooks isn't setting up the cruises anymore, who is he passing the torch to? I wish he would, as it would be some good visibility for his new shop.

do we have to meet nhra tech if we run the 1/8th then put on the brakes and roll through slower then a 9.99 or whatever the requirement is?

Set something up for us, post up open dates.

Usually the rules are specific to both. 9.99/6.39 etc.

Brooks is working on a cruise(s) for this year. He is trying to find out appropriate dates etc.....

Brooks may not have time to organize it. He's trying to build his business. When he worked for the "man" he had time. He may not have time now. He has to eat and make a living and that he will do. Just my 2

Sorry guys, it's been REAL busy lately.

I'm still waiting on dates from our standard venue. Eric from Texas Motorplex has contacted me and I simply haven't returned his pm's (Sorry Eric ). Mainly, I am trying to hold out and give TXR our business, followed by Denton and last but certainly not least, the motorplex. I think the years past of 3 or 4 per year are just too many. Back about 5 years ago, when we did 2, it was bangin!

There's only a few of us who can make tech at Ennis, and that's not really my concern. The concern is distance and how many of us can or will make the drive. I hate to book a date and only 40 of us show up. We've been doing this cruise for 10 years now and I've found there's a few MAJOR things that keep our people from going. For the records, or typical attendance is something like 80 cars and 300-400 spectators and we've gone as high as 120ish cars and 600ish spectators.

The day of the cruise (Saturday or sunday)

Distance to/from track
1/4 or 1/8

on that subject, Ill go to the dale because it is resonably close. I havent been to Northstar in years. Granted Im not a drag racer, but there might be more interest in going to a qtr mile track to some that would sit out due to distance, especially for many of the guys who have one of the new mustangs. There's more of them on the site than there are guys with fast drag cars setup for 1/8th mile.

Just food for thought.
