Jet Auto True Street Shootout Is Back!

Recommended Posts

Thanks to Jordan at Jet Auto for providing the hardware :fuckyeah:

 

We are going to be going with the same format from last year and is free to any paid participant of the track day.

 

True Street Columbus Racing Rules.

 

1. Vehicles will be limited to factory built vehicles, with a legal registered VIN number, simply put no tube chassis race cars. If your vehicle started life as a regular production car and your factory firewall, and floor pans are in place, the body and chassis are legal.

 

2. Any engine and drive train are legal, exhaust systems will be restricted from being open. There must be a component between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust's exit (muffler, catalytic converter, or turbo). Location of exhaust exit does not matter so long as it meets the previous statement. No open pipes.

 

3. Vehicle must be road legal and you will be responsible for that legality for the cruise portion of this event. The point here is not to conduct DOT inspections, but to inspect the basics. We will be looking for working brake lights, and turn signals. You must have a currently valid licence plate on the vehicle.

 

4. Tires must have manufactured DOT label on them. No size restrictions, no other inspection of tires.

 

There will be a 30 mile supervised cruise on highway and city streets prior to competition, limited to those vehicles that have passed tech inspection. A escort will supervise the cruise in accordance with local laws and ordinances. Each competitor and crew will be on their own reconnaissance during the escort and cruise and bear the full responsibility of their actions as they would on city streets. Please be safe and follow all traffic laws during the cruise. If you fail to make it back you will be disqualified. If you get separated from the group it will be the escort's judgement if you completed the miles and made it back in a timely fashion, if any sort of cheating is suspected you will be disqualified.

 

 

COOLDOWN PERIOD/RETURN PROCEDURES

After the vehicles return from the road tour, they will return directly to the designated staging lanes for the cool-down period. They may not change tires. The cool-down period will typically last between 15 and 45 minutes. During this cool down period only, entrants may adjust tire pressure only. A strict CLOSED HOOD policy will be in effect until a competitor has completed his or her three back to back passes. No re-fueling allowed once car leaves on cruise. No laptops or bluetooth devices in or around vehicle, no adding, removing, or adjusting anything except tire pressure. Air tanks will not be allowed in the staging lanes, so adding air to tires is not allowed.

 

FINAL STANDINGS

After all three quarter mile passes are completed, each racer’s ET’s will be added together and divided by 3. This will be your score, you must not fall below your class's index number.

 

CREW MEMBERS

Crew members are not permitted around participating vehicles, in the staging lanes, or in the burnout area, between rounds of competition. The only exception is to aid in the repacking of vehicle's parachute.

 

 

 

***route Line up on the entrance road where we will do final tech. You will need to turn your hazards and lights on, we will also be checking tires. Left out of track. Right on Rt 13, right on I-70, Exit at Rt 158, right onto Rt 40, left back into track.****

 

We are going to play the time by ear to see if there are going to be any weather issues. In theory, we will do the cruise right after lunch then do the 3 back to back passes. **this is subject to change***

^?

 

If the NMCA rules allow it and you are not having to pop the hood, I don't give a fuck what you do.

 

There will be someone watching for lap tops and other tuning tools.

 

Its all about having fun and winning a bowling trophy :)

will we get a few test hits before the true street event? that would be nice just to see where the cars are.

 

What about this question? I'm pretty sure we got some runs in last year before the shootout cars started, but I did not participate.

Yes, you can hot lap your stuff until its puking coolant if you like :)

 

The plan as of right now is to start the cruise while the track is on lunch break and then do the shootout right after lunch.

 

That will be subject to change based on weather or other possible issues, aka pretty much like any other NMCA/NMRA true street event for those who have been.
