Lightbulb $ Cash Money To The Fastest Cars On Aug. 16th ! $

Thanks to some additional money from our sponsors we will be putting up $100 in prize money to the fastest radial tire only car (no drag radials) and $100 to the fastest car with slicks / drag radials !

I have arranged this to entice some of our TR viewers and lurkers that claim to be only street / money racers.

It will go like this:

The entrys will be able to make as many test passes as they would like during the first few hours of the event. (We start the open event for everyone @ 6:00 p.m.) At 8:00 p.m. and 9:30 we will announce the entries to come to some separate stagging lanes to make a solo pass and record the times.

We will take these two solo passes and add them together to get a average. Whoever puts up the best average takes the money !

The normal lanes will be open during these passes so none of the other paying racers will be inconvienenced and normal test and tunes run will be mixed in at the same time.

I am hoping this gives a few more real fast cars a reason to show and in turn put on a show for the rest of us, plus have the opportunity to take home some $$$$.

Anyone can enter and one car can not win both classes.

If we get a few that enter it will be fun to watch since the last few hours of all the Track Events tend to slow down. If we get no one to enter no big deal.

To pre-pay for the event please e-mail me at: nosgears@yahoo.com Or you can pay at the gate but you will have to pay the additional $10.

You do not have to specify that you want to run in this in advance, just pre-pay me or pay at the gate. We will make the call to go to the lanes at 8:00 and 9:30.

Also please read the additional information located below this post.

I'd rather watch fast cars going for broke than bracket racing.

Please keep in mind this is being done just to spice things up and bring out some real fast cars for everyones entertainment.

Everyone that comes to race will be given the same opportunity to make as many passes as you would like (easily 20+).

If you enter to run in the $100 races make sure you know what your safety requirements are. Helmets will obviously be a must and the rest will depend upon the speed of your car.

Have fun and lets see who we get out.

Thumbs up $$$$

Where do I sign up? I will be on a new pair of ET streets so I am not sure how they will work. As long as I can be WOT and on the gas right out of the hole I should be ok. I can't wait!!!

Guys,

You can add me to that list, i'm about ready.

I have the ZR-1 all about ready, i've been putting some miles on it the last few nights, & so far, everything seems to be going well, apart from a lifter making a commotion, which i am hoping will clear itself up, i should be all set.

I'm taking the car to a Dyno shop end of next week, should be about spot on though, but just want to make sure, this will be all motor though, no NOS at the minute, should run a "bit" better than last year, higher compression, opened up the ports & a few little other tricks were performed

We are posting times though right?

Anyone want to have a friendly side bet? i've got $100.00 bill to put up against any street car ALL MOTOR, no power adders, Big Block - Small Block, heads up race!

See you guys on the 16th.
