yes

lol, OK. We'll make sure everyone knows to be on time this year.

We'll make sure no delays with NTR tech, has never been a problem at other tracks. I can't remember what took them so long last year. Did they show up late or were they just extremely thorough?

The class structures and names have been changed a bit for the IFO series. Most importantly, there are two new “SPORT” heads up classes for the budget racers who are tired of bracket racing. These two new classes are becoming very popular and are typically filled with 11 to 13 second street cars. Registration is only $25 and starts at 11am, first round of qualifying at 1pm. http://www.ImportFaceOff.net ALL MOTOR SPORT - $300 payout - .400 heads up pro tree for n/a 4/6 cyl or rotary oem frame imports/sport compacts. Full interior, exhaust, current tags, and registration required. Slicks allowed for FWD only, lexan prohibited. FORCED INDUCTION SPORT - $300 payout - .400 heads up pro tree for 4/6 cyl or rotary oem frame imports/sport compacts. Full interior, exhaust, current tags, and registration required. Slicks allowed for FWD only, lexan prohibited. Presented by Forced Performance. The other usual classes are... ALL MOTOR PRO - $500 FORCED INDUCTION PRO (the old Street Class) - $1000 FWD - $1200 OUTLAW - $500 BRACKET - $200 TEST AND TUNE - $0

Been here for a while now, but don't think I ever made a formal introduction. I'll be in the area for the Import Face-Off car show, http://www.ImportFaceOff.net Anyway, I currently drive a C5 six speed with 100 shot of N20, but will be getting a GTR some time in October or November. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l25/HybridMT/GatorDrag058.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l25/HybridMT/GTRpurchaseaggreement.jpg Going to be a red one! http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l25/HybridMT/09_Nissan_GTR_2.jpg

Are you confusing IFO with another event? Last year's show had a great turnout, 120+ show cars, 150+ racers, heads up classes filled, etc. Video of last year's event: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Uqeii5OwDpI

results from each location/year are on the website. Visit http://www.ImportFaceOff.net , click on location of choice, and scroll to bottom. The Birmingham IFO last Sunday had some extremely fast cars. All winners were running low 10s/9s.

only domestics allowed in the competition are 4 cyl, FWD compacts like Neons, Cavaliers, Sunfires, etc. RWD Domestics only allowed to run TnT. Complete rules on http://www.ImportFaceOff.net

read what I posted, or check out the website http://www.ImportFaceOff.net Such a waste to not compete with your car. Enter Street Class Quick 8!!!!

then go buy a helmet. The track may have loaners though. Sunday forecast is much cooler... low of 61, high of 82 per weather.com Every heads up field is looking to be complete, so should be full of 10 to 12 second cars. Couple of 8 second DSMs coming down to do exhibition passes too!

Lumina doesn't qualify for an competition class (imports/compact only), so must run TNT All competitors can still run TnT all day between qualifying and even eliminations rounds, just pull into lane one.

drag racing noobs should run TnT only ($20)

Ask tech inspector or anyone with a radio if that can be setup. Shouldn't be a problem. Just purchase a test and tune tech card ($20)

bump for the Face-Off! For those attending, please step up and participate, don't just watch. The scene needs more racers and less ricers. For those who have never raced before, read paragraph 1. For cars running 13.00 seconds or slower, read paragraph 2. For cars running 12.99 or faster, read paragraph 3. 1) Purchase your race tech card at the front gate ($20). Tell the cashiers you want to race Test and Tune, not competition, since this is your first time. Test and Tune racing is open to all make/model vehicles. Listen for the track announcer to call for tech inspection and go where he says tech-in will be. The tech inspector will give you an info pamphlet that tells you what lane to stage up in. 2) For imports or sport compacts running 13.00 seconds or slower, purchase a COMPETITION class card at the front gate, not a test and tune tech card. Test and Tune is for the drag noobs or p*ssies too scared to compete. Competition race entry costs $30, only $10 more than test and tune, but you'll be competing for hundreds in cash payouts. Competition racers can still run test and tune between time trails and even between eliminations, just pull into one of the test and tune staging lanes any time of the day. During tech-in, the tech inspector will ask you which class you'll be racing in, pick either Bracket 14.99 and faster, or Bracket 15.00 and slower, which ever your car runs the 1/4 mile in. Bracket racing, or handicap racing, works as follows…Practice runs are made in order to get a feel for how fast the car/bike will run. For example: say you make three runs and they average 12.50 seconds. You may choose that as your dial in time and shoe polish that time on your window. You will be paired against another vehicle, faster or slower. The slower vehicle gets a head start determined by the dial in time. Say the other vehicle dials in at 13.00…he'll get a .50 second head start. The object is to beat your opponent to the finish line without going quicker than your dial in time. If you "break out", or go quicker than your dial in, you lose, unless your opponent breaks out worse than you, red-lights (goes before the light turns green), or crosses the center, divide line. Bracket racing pits driver against driver, with little regard for how fast the car or bike is. 3) For imports and sport compacts running 12.99 or faster, purchase a COMPETITION class tech card at the front gate, not a test and tune card. During tech-in, the tech inspector will ask you which class you'll be racing in, pick either of the HEADS UP classes, not Bracket. The bracket classes are for slower cars, so don't waste your fast car on a small payout. Pick one of the 3 heads up classes: FWD Quick 8, Street Quick 8, or All Motor Quick 4 (class regulations below). The heads up class entry fee costs the same as Bracket ($30), yet payouts are 5Xs higher than bracket and pay more places (1st to 4th in FWDQ8). Even if you don't qualify, you can still run one of the brackets, or unlimited TnT all day. You will most likely qualify though. The Ohio Import Face-Off heads up classes have not been full the past two years in a row. Win one round and you're "in the money". FWD Quick 8 = FWD 4 cyl only, slicks and open exhaust OK Street Class Quick 8 = FWD, RWD, or AWD 4/6 cyl or rotary only, DOT tires and muffler required All Motor Quick 4 = FWD, RWD, or AWD 4/6 cyl or rotary, n/a engines only, slicks OK for FWD only, open exhaust OK *complete rules and payout amounts on http://www.ImportFaceOff.net

bump for commission work! So far we have 27 promoters, but still need more. Please sign up if you'd like to make a little extra cash. -Cliff
