DSM Central Drag event help Options

[akamiami]

if you're jewish, that particular sunday is a non-issue and in fact saturday is a holy day for many religions. You can never please everybody. Nobody is saying you can't have a service on the dragstrip, in fact, I think some burnt tire would be a decent offering, Old Testament style.

Funny, I was just reading a totally kick-ass thread on on honda-tech.com (here's the link) and saw this quote in some guy named rochesterricer's signature that I found amusing.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
-- Stephen Roberts

I agree that you're always going to offend someone, but the whole ressurrection comment, while meant in good humor I'm sure, was pushing it a bit. Let's just agree that it's a bad weekend for some if not many, and hope for as big of a turn out as possible.

[BudmannG]

Well I would have to say, Bringing AMS to the meet should get a HELL of a turn out.

Even though some of us are stuck at home, Sniff.......sniff......wimper.






Maybe I could pull the Talon out and do some runs up and down my street!

[awd4kicks]

As far as the date is concerned...I can understand this would make some Aethiests happy, but it was a mistake. I did a very thorough job of picking a date that didn't interfear with other track days, but I neglected to check the calendar for holidays. The fact is most people will not be able to show simply because of family gatherings and responsibilities. I don't think I would even be able to swing it if I hired a pastor to have a service for us all at the track!

I will update you all as soon as possible. More than likely this will give everyone more time since the next available dates are in June or later.

[turbohcar]

Agreed. I might be able to make it by the skin on my rear, but I doubt it. Later date would be more agreeable for the car, and my rear.

Add in thats easter weekend, and the 16th is my B-day, i dunno if i can make it........

[black92_tsi_awd]

I don't think I would even be able to swing it if I hired a pastor to have a service for us all at the track!

I could just imagine my prayer at THAT service:
"Please God, thank you for everything. Don't let my my wife kill me when I get home....and if you got time, can you help a brother out and help the car run a 12!!"

[natedogg]

Praise Jesus! I needed more time to work on my car!

[TURBOWHT]

Add in thats easter weekend, and the 16th is my B-day, i dunno if i can make it........

Wow that is my birthday too. crazy, might have to come out.

[zishanmalik]

did you get your evo? just curious what color/trim etc...

[AMS]

Thanks guys, Marcus has been working very hard for us to assemble the event and with what I have given him as a starting point I think he is pretty close to a class breakdown as well.

what we (AMS) will be doing is offering prizes and payouts for each class win hopefully from 1-3rd place. I got quite a few sponsors on board from last year and im sure now that we are bigger I can do the same if not more this year. it will be more then worth your while to make it out for the event. Last year we gave away over $8000 in payouts.

Looks like the lucky weekend will be july 4th weekend but we have no solidified it just yet.

Thanks again goes out to Marcus for taking this off my shoulders this year. with NDRA, One Lap of America, Time Attack, shootout and the slew of other events we are running I just didnt have time to put together midwest mayhem this year. Im glad we are still able to do something for the community.

this is going to be a fun year, can't wait to bring out the GVR4 I am shooting for a 12.99 or better.

[awd4kicks]

Thanks Eric

I've been puting the Sport Compact Drag Challenge together along with Slo Pny Drag Day for the past 3 years with the help of some of DSMCentrals finest and Cordova Drag Park. So I was already geared up to get an event rolling.

AMS's additional support is exciting for the growth it will bring to this event. I'm not sure if everyone understands the full impact of this joint effort. Here's a hint... The Quick16 class among many others!

AMS is meeting today over the details I presented. Once I get word back we will do the final editing of the classes and rules so we can start getting the information out to everyone.

I hope to make this event even more beneficial for everyone now with AMS's support.

Marcus

[BudmannG]

Man I can't wait for this event! I think I got a lil chub ! This is going to be a great event this year.

[turbohcar]

I should have everything in order by then. See you guys there.

[black92_tsi_awd]

Sound good

I should have mine well sorted out by then...and in the 12's

[AWD DSM 1]

I hope you're keeping the slowest car class... might be my only chance for a trophy

[The Iron Goat]

Well, well, well.... looks like the Goat better git off his ass and get to galloping. Hate to disappoint all the people that think the car's going to be a dud.

[AMS]

I have just sent my amendments to Marcus in regards to class. Once this is finalized I will start putting together a prize package. That could take a good amount of time though.

Eric

[awd4kicks]
