We have now reserved the Cordova dragstrip on September 21, 2003 for all our local Sport Compact racers to show their stuff and have some fun in a safe and legal environment.
There are still some details to work out, but things are on a roll. We envision between 20-50 people joining in on this event. With this small number of racers there will be no problem getting as many runs as you like! For more information go to: http://www.dsmcentral.com/cordova Please use this forum to ask any questions and follow up on the current word.

Haha! Go to the registration and check out 'Who's going'.
Apparently, Dave Stealth will be there driving a 'Netter'.

We may just have everyone pay at the gate, but we will be meeting about this and other questions soon. Thanks for asking and your civic is more than welcome same as your Rx7 and Chevelle! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

That's a good question. Are we able to run more than one vechile for the one entrance fee? If so, I wouldn't mind making a pass or two with the truck, just for kicks. Maybe something that will have to be worked out at the next meeting.

I've thought about this and initially my feeling is that we will only charge per driver. Whatever car he/she drives or how many they bring would be up to them.
This brings up a good point though. To those already involved and those that would like to help, we need to get together again soon to make sure we are getting the details taken care of. Unless there is a mass conflict with this let's plan on meeting at East Peoria Applebees at 7:30PM Monday night. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I can't make the meeting on Monday, but I do need to meet up with someone this is going.
I need to get some money and a pressure plate to Mark95 and then have you hold some parts for me until I can pick them up on wednesday. -------------------- Brian J

Unless/until Cordova management comes up with a more organized way to run this program, I plan on the event being run like a Test & Tune. Where each driver will run what ever they are racing as many times as they can or want and give us a copy of their fastest time slip for each vehicle.
You won't necessarily have the 2nd fastest FWD racing the Fastest FWD in a stand-off. The best time slip for each vehicle will be the decision maker. Depending on Cordova's input and possibly more automation/cost, we may end up having to charge per race car, to cover keeping track of so many. I'll let you know. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

QUOTE (spyonu2007 @ Jul 24 2003, 08:10 AM) Taking notes I see. The event starts at noon, those intending to lend a helping hand should be there at what time? I may not be the quickest, but MY brakes work. Well...at least you have something to be proud of. I don't think they time that at the drag strip, though. |

I would like to make it so that we can pick who we want to run against to some extent (grude matches and the like). I really don't want to be racing 18 sec honda's all day.

You guys are a bunch of worry worts. Yeah at test and tunes you can asked to be lined up with who ever you want. So it will be that much easier to do that since, for one there will only be 20-50 racers and number two we will be controlling how it goes down.
