V8 Beast Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 With the trails events usually getting a good number of attendees I was thinking about having a more organized track day. By that I mean a balls to the wall competition organized by teams where a winners get a cash prize. I haven't ran the idea by Ant or Waggs to iron it out (because it just popped in my head).. but figured it would be fun for some hard core competition. Here is what I'm thinking... 6 teams set up this way 1 x sub 10 car 2 x 10 second cars 3 x 11 - 12.9 second cars 4 x 13 + cars 1 x bike Races would be pre set up and talleys would be kept to see what team wins the most races at the end of the day. It would be judged by the first to the finish line, not the best ET. Each team would also have to have their cars ready to go and lined up or they would forfeit the race. At the halfway point the winning team is crowned then we line up freely after that. Thoughts? Oh.. and if you have Paul or the other hotlappers on your team you can sub them in their time class as much as you want. This way for people like me who only run their car like 5 times at track rentals I dont have to keep lining up every 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 What about an "all out" type thing, we could all make 2 passes and match up our closest times, then divide up into teams based on fairly equal cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 so how would I ever beat an 11 second car ever if I run high 12's? that's a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZach Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 how about before the boards are on ....we grudge race with just the win lights on ??? maybe for some $$$$$$$$ then turn the boards on for normal track day racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 How would you know where your car fits in? I wouldn't be surprised if some teams had a lot of supposed "12 sec" cars that in reality run 11's. If people are honest about their setups and expectations it shouldn't be a problem. Just something I thought I would bring up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a big difference between 10.9 and 10.1 too. This is for people that have gone to a track day in the last few years to discuss... Come in here bitching with a car that hasnt seen a track since people were racing horse and buggies.. gtfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Are your wheels blue-green? Depends on the lighting I suppose. In person they look like this color -> http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k10/tripleskate/DSC03654_5_6_tonemapped_2_2.jpg But in pic like my sig where I fudged the parameters of the picture they look more dull, like so -> http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k10/tripleskate/DSC03603.jpg To answer your question; green.

I couldn't afford/justify TE37's (in a decent size). My stockers are just for winter/cold months. I have something a little more flush for when it gets warm again.

I have something a little more flush for when it gets warm again. FWD cars care about being flush? Why not just have a few classes of cars and everyone pitch in 20-30 bucks and have pay outs for different classes?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If this is after income tax returns, ill definitely go. Sounds like alot of fun. It will give us "slow" cars the opportunity for a fair race. I need a transmission before i bang any gears. Unfortunately, this is why i wont be attending tomorrows event. That 45$ entry fee will turn into an emergency 1k transmission purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTurbo04 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 eeeh seems to many loose ends... have you ever though about peopel putting # in an doign bracket racing best of your 3 passes fo rthe day winner takes it .. mabey do one for each class slow cars mediium an fast haha With the trails events usually getting a good number of attendees I was thinking about having a more organized track day. By that I mean a balls to the wall competition organized by teams where a winners get a cash prize. I haven't ran the idea by Ant or Waggs to iron it out (because it just popped in my head).. but figured it would be fun for some hard core competition. Here is what I'm thinking... 6 teams set up this way 1 x sub 10 car 2 x 10 second cars 3 x 11 - 12.9 second cars 4 x 13 + cars 1 x bike Races would be pre set up and talleys would be kept to see what team wins the most races at the end of the day. It would be judged by the first to the finish line, not the best ET. Each team would also have to have their cars ready to go and lined up or they would forfeit the race. At the halfway point the winning team is crowned then we line up freely after that. Thoughts? Oh.. and if you have Paul or the other hotlappers on your team you can sub them in their time class as much as you want. This way for people like me who only run their car like 5 times at track rentals I dont have to keep lining up every 10 minutes. why my car is slow but consistant... so how would I ever beat an 11 second car ever if I run high 12's? that's a big difference. who car es what you dont race any more nor have/will you show up to a event. PASSS Well my car only run 13s... bet your ass im in make up the rules and lets race!lol sure it does if you let off at the 660 mark haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Why have teams, why not race someone for like 20$ a race. Pick your opponent and race, loser pays up. I dont see the point in teams. Even pinks doesnt have teams, its every man for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
