Ok guys, we have the all mustang drag day coming up at Sac. I was talking to Tony and he asked me to talk to you guys (the ones that plan on coming) what you like best, and we will see how we can set this race up.
First off:
Bracket racing or Heads up? Trying to decide if everybody would like it one way or the other. More than likely it will be bracket, with one lane that is heads up - Trophy Class type thing.
Otherwise, probably be broken down into:
Early model (i.e. carb'd, no electronics)
V6
Cobra
GT
Power added
These groups would probably be bracket classes.
Anyways, please leave your opinions, and thanks.
Eric

I'm there! Look at some of the old posts from the Mustang Drag days in palmdale. They have a good setup going. Look at doing what they do.

in that case count me in, even if there's only bracket racing I'd go anyways. but if there's some heads up class an EFI 302 fits in, so much the better. ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

c. SN-95 PA'd (nitrous/blowers(0'3 cobras))
d. heads up

RO2USH- What date are you planning on having this event? PM me when you get more details.... CaliforniaFords.com will be glad to help promote this event and get a good turn out.
Personally, I'm all for heads up. A "matched" heads up event seemed to be a great success at Ford-vs-Chevy. Perhaps something similar could be arranged? One thing is for sure..... late model V8 drivers would rather leave braket racing for the imports.

Bracket it racing you try to run as close to a given time as possible.
Heads up is just the fastest guy wins, (first to the finish)

Oh I see. Thanks. I think heads up would be better.

You could always put cement bags in the trunk like Bob Cosby and make up for it in the 60ft

would a car classify by VIN? The reason I ask is because I have a v6 '95 w/ the 2-cylinder bolt-on kit. Or are you just gonna throw me in with all the GTs?

I hate to say it. But I vote for Bracket. I don't think we would have enough cars close enough together in ETs to race heads up.
