Street Machine Showdown - Sunday

[V8SpankR]

Who's going?

I'll be up there bright and early and it looks like it's gonna be nice all day.;RoCkOn;

[DnVr]

whats it cost to enter?
what time is bright and early?

[V8SpankR]

$25 like usual and I'll probably leave my house between 6:30-7 in the morn.
I'd like to meet some other members up there so we can save some pits as much as we can.

[SC-MECHAM-WS6]

I'd really like to see it run.:bounce:

[DlandryTSI]

[DnVr]

I talked to my better half and we will be there.
do the gates open at 7?
I cant wait to try my car out at the strip

[V8SpankR]

The gates open at 8,I just show up early so I can get a pit,get inspected and allow the car to cool down before the time trials start. It will be crowded but with a nice day it should run smooth depending on how many times people feel like oiling the track.:mad:

STAB bracket racing. STAB it to DEATH!

[V8SpankR]

Hey we all can't have an 11 second car unless you want to loan me your's John. :D

STAB bracket racing. STAB it to DEATH!



AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bracket racing is just too boring. dial-in has no place in drag racing. they dont ask john force what his dial-in is.

anyway answer this, it is called STREET MACHINE SHOWDOWN so why do more than 50% of the cars arrive on a trailer??????????????


also anyone else remember when the cost was $10 race or watch? that was a bargain!

So,if you race John's Supra 20 times in a row and he wins 20 times in a row by over a second I guess you're still having fun,right? :p
Bracket racing requires skill not just power.

I wish they had a rule that you had to drive your car there but oh well.:rolleyes:

When it was only $10 to race I'd enter both the import class and the regular street class and I'd get to time trial for both.:D

[john]

Stab it continuously and repeatedly. :)

[TedR719]

I defintaly want to head up there for this event :) Got to get all the racing I can in.

YEP!!!!!!!!

drag racing is about POWER!

i kinda disagree on the skill part. yes it takes skill to drive your DSM to within a few hundreths every run. but it DOES NOT take skill to drive a slow piece of shit automatic 23 second eye sore to the win.


lets keep the drag racing on the streets where it belongs.:D
(that satement should go over like a whore in church)

You've got a point, but the slow slushboxes don't always win. Those 1/4 Mile Addicts at the club clash are always at the top and they all drive fast cars too.

There's also a stick shift bracket series at Bandimere too. I've been thinking about running in it a few times this year. A little more of a level playing feild there.

If you guys want to race heads up, there's a heads up class at the event on Sunday. Some pretty hefty competition, but some of you guys with fast cars should be able to go at least a couple rounds.

[V8SpankR]

Shane,what class can you be competitive in at Bandi? Nearly all the heads up classes run at least 10s so odds are you'd get 1 run in and go home or maybe you'get lucky and the big block domestic will break something.
Brackets are where the competition is. I do like how the IDRC is set up with brackets broken down by classes like the 14.0-15.99 and so on,that way you're racing other fast cars.

So,are you gonna show up and race in the king street class,that one's all heads up racing?

[shane]

nope no racing for me, car not even close to being done. last i remember king street is still bracket racing, no heads up. if i go to a bracket race i treat it as a test and tune where i am gauranteed at least three runs:-) hell i cant compete in the idrc classess but i have fun trying. i just like going down the track and wringing everything i can out of the car and not thinking about breaking out or letting off.


oh well, good luck to those of you racing sunday and have fun.

[newt2]

You may not be able to haqng with the IDRC guys, but you're a crowd favorite every year with those sideways launches. :)

[john]

Stab .... oh, nevermind. :)

[AcuraBro]

I might just be down with doing this, eventhough I'm about to go get a new clutch today. Yeah, the stock one is going to FRY here pretty soon. Oh yeah, did I tell any of you guys I decided to go turbo?

I know people that really aren't car people that saw Shane's car two years ago that remember those crazy :eek: launches. Entertaining as hell.

[TedR719]

[V8SpankR]

So,who's definetly racing tomorrow?

I'm packing a cooler w/pop and sandwich stuff,sunscreen,chairs and car goodies and am ready to race.

[Dustin]

generally the people that hate bracket racing are the ones that always lose first round. :D

[john]

If it ain't heads up, it ain't drag racing. Pretty short & sweet. :D

I mean how often this happen: "You are faster than me, so you need to give me a 2 second head start".

*ahem*

[shane]

john, and you call me a trouble maker????? by the way can i have a head start?

[john]

Absolutely, and absolutely.

:D :D
