HybridMT Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Just trying to get an idea on what to expect at next Sundays Import event at Kil-Kare... There are three heads up classes each with several hundreds in cash payouts. However, each class must be filled in order for the payouts to be paid in full, otherwise payouts are cut in half. 8 cars are needed for FWD Quick 8, 8 for Street Class, and 4 for the All Motor class. Are there enough heads up racers in the area to fill these classes? Heads up racer = running mid 12s or faster for FWD and Street, mid 13s or faster for All Motor.

Devils Advocate Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Uhhhhm, if you want a list of the some of the fastest imports in Columbus, I am sure plenty of people can chime in and give you a list of streetimports in the low 12's, 11's, and a few in 10's. I don't think you will see any of those cars at Kil-Kare though. -Ben (Crash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridMT Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Why would these cars not show up? Apparently some are not aware of how easy it will be to win cash at this event. DRAG CLASSES AND PAYOUTS FWD Quick 8 $1000 Street Class Quick 8 $800 All Motor Quick 4 $400 Bracket ET 1 $100 Bracket ET2 $100 Motorcycle Bracket $100 All rules/regs are on www.ImportFaceOff.com General event info... http://www.streettrends.net/ifosmall1.jpg http://www.streettrends.net/ifosmall2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 weren't firebirds and camaros "imported" from canada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridMT Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Some of them are, but that still does not make them eligable for competition at an Import/Sport compact event. Any make/mode, however, can race during time trials, even test and tune between elimination rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the spectator support there would be no payouts for racers to compete for. Sure, there will be ricers present, but there will be several skilled drivers and high powered fast cars there too. You’ve got to take the bad with the good. Auto enthusiasts can either complain and act like they’re too good to show up, or they can come out and support these events, especially ones that have racing, legit classes, rules, and organization. Give the “ricer” fans something to look up to. The more support for race events now, the lower entry fees and higher the payouts later.

HybridMT Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 /\ Unfortunately, the only masses. There just aren't enough die hard race fans to support an import event alone. It's a tough markert and import events with only racing and no other "extra" activities do not bring in enough people to pay for expensis, whatless provide payouts for the racers. Racers, all the extra activities (bikinis, DJs, show cars, etc.) are just that, "extras". You don't have to watch or even be around those activities if you don't want. The extra activities are going on during the drag competition and the racing does not stop any time during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I doubt 12.95 (as your very best) will get you very close to the winners circle if ANY kids who actually race show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOKILLER Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 i will be there running in the street class heads up and i will be on race gas for the first time with my new setup. i now what it runs on pump gas and it makes 80whp more and 100wtq more on my race gas map. i am hoping that they won't be to hard on the cage rule of 11.49 though. cause i don't have a cage in the car yet.
