How did Josh do?

 

New personal best both ET and MPH wise. Track wasn't the best of conditions to be racing on, but its whatever. I am happy that 1. Nothing broke 2. I went faster then all of last year and 3. There was no drama just good racing

 

Heres some pics that were sent to me from family friends along with a video. This was the best video anyone got of me, I think its time to invest in a camera or 2 haha. Before anyone ask, the Civic next to me went 10.4@141 and finished 3rd in the class (street class haha).

Did anyone get photos to post? I spent nearly all my time at my car answering questions.

 

I got a few, I'll try to post some tomorrow. It was too cold to hold the damn camera still after sitting out there for 6 hours!

too cold, many cars broken down, but some nice cars at the show area(including Doc's)

 

on the way home, black S4 cut off someone on the highway, and got rearended I think.

Black Supra and his swingers blocking traffics, supra slowed down, got beside me, and accelerated for 3seconds without even honking. So I get beside him, downshift honk, he wouldn't run wtf.. lol

No offense but why do domestic guys attend import events? I have never really understood this, you wouldn't see a Honda or Toyota running at Mopar Nationals lol. Just curious, thats all

 

No offense taken.

I enjoy seeing and running with all types of cars.

 

Here is why, I think this happens from a business standpoint.

 

I called Cliff @ hybrid ent to get the bracket started, it says right on the flyer anyone can create a class as long as 4 people will compete in that class. In that class the entry money stays with that class, but the spectators money doesn't. I had 8 Mustangs show up for that class, which was awesome. Which brought along a total of 8 spectators, had the weather been nice I would have had 2 or 3 more spectators, that is money used to better the event and the business model, focused on Imports. That is pretty damn smart if you ask me. Take money from domestic to improve your event, when it gets big like MOPAR, then perhaps they can drop the hammer. You cannot take anything to a Mopar event they simply don't allow it.

 

There was one import class that only had one car( that sucks he got first for showing up, but kudos to him $$ in the bank), that spectator money from domestics helped ensure payouts for some short classes, to a certain degree. There was no shortage of spectators for the Imports so that is why I said to a certain degree. I was kind of embarrassed that the NMRA event was not that full with spectators on a sunny Sept Day you guys showed out that's for sure. I think it is something good, maybe they will have a American vs Import class one day that would be awesome.

 

For me it was more about getting some runs in the book for 2012, but I checked out the car show and the scion booth.

They open it up why not? If I can get discounted track time in at a semi-race I will. As long as I get my hits in I don't give a fuck what else they are running.

 

+1 just give me some track time, since it was a bigger event things went smooth, except for the car that forgot their whole cat back at the 100ft. Guess they don't know JB he welds everyday.

Not really, we just like some variety at the events. 8 people out of 2000+ isn't really much, honestly.

 

You guys look great together!... and I was never even a Mustang fan.

 

Yes, you are right. Track staff was saying our event had more in attendance than the big Mustang event!

I agree it's just penny on the dollar for the main event. I already have people asking if their will be a Mustang Bracket in the fall. Heck I want to bring my Corolla S (however don't think the wife would be happy) I would bring the CBR if I still had that.. If the weather was nicer, I would have had quite a few more spectators and probably a few more Mustangs. I don't really want a bracket, I want some heads-up style. I loved watching the heads-up excitement you provide. I still think it's a great idea. I know there we some folks asking me about creating a 4 diesel truck event, I told them to call Cliff. It is still great way to keep business going though. I also agree that a variety has never hurt anyone.

 

Either way most of the us enjoyed watching / seeing the imports and the car shows. We are really happy that you allow others to attend your event. I hope that you will keep it that way for a very long time.
