Tony, Marc i didn't even get to see you guys or your cars run how did you guys do (or did you even race?)

John it was nice to meet you and your coupe is really clean

Marc and I were looking for Rick too...I wanted to see him click off a 10 second run. I know he said he was gonna be there in the previous posts.

I saw you drive through the pit area and that was about it.

I was in bracket2 and dialed in at 11.59. I ran an 11.60 @116 but red lighted with a -.046 reaction time...

Hey it's racing...stuff happens.

I'd seen you run once before and can't wait to see you run again...

Just want to say I had a blast out there, but only got two good passes in. I think test n tune is more fun to run. Even with all the lane jumping, etc, I still think they moved things fairly quick. I got 4 passes in after arriving at 8pm.

93PONY, I asked where tech was at the gate on arrival and they told me way in the back!!!!!!!
I think you and your wife did a great job teching people in. I was totally late for the event and was never so happy to see people in the tech lane when I drove up. I was teched in within 3-5mins.
Thanks.

BOUNTY HUNTER, very cool ride, also I heard what sounded like a slightly off balance turbine when you did your burn out. Could be wrong, just thought you would be interested. Whatever on the oil drop. I had very little problems with traction in that lane later. Actually gave my engine time to cool down.

I think its time for another --->>>EFI<<<<----
event, for late model stuff. No race cars, just street machines...

QUOTE]Next year we hope to put to use all we learned at this event. As for the number of runs, EVERYONE should have gotten at least 3 runs. 2 Time Trials and at LEAST one elimination run. It was out of our hands for the loser/grudge lane because of the time constraight from starting lane from the prior event and the lack of room from the trucks/trailers/cars from the prior event up front. If folks didn't get 3 runs, then they either showed up late, or were not where they were supposed to be.

We also lost a LOT of time due to folks not staying with their cars in the staging lanes and holding up traffic.

Think about it though, if you show up to a RACE, you don't get many runs if you don't win.

I personally saw or talked to nearly all the winners and runner ups. Some had some negative feedback, but they ALL had smiles on their faces.

We hope to put on two events next year. One smaller GM vs Ford, late model EFI ONLY (more intimiate, smaller, etc) simialar, night race.

The other will be large like this one, but we will rent the track for the ENTIRE day.

Again, sorry to those of you that didn't have any fun... But I hope those that did have fun, speak up.

Another suggestion as i know i wasn't the only confused but......maybe announce to the racers to return to the staging lanes once finished with the prior run.

After my first time trial i went back to the pits expecting another call for cars in my grouping but never heard another comment made only to "have drivers be ready at your car" but no explanation of what group

I think that could have helped out also with some of the confusion at least on my part

Also it would maybe be a good idea to set someone at the end of the staging lanes be assure people are in the right lanes and also to just be there to answer ?'s and such.

Bad idea...time is needed between runs. This time could be to ice down a turbo, put a new bottle in the car, time the car, gas up the car, etc.

---

Exactly my point!

I did the exact thing you speak of.....after the first run as usual i pit and ice down my blower and let the I/C pump cycle the fluid as well.

But much to my surprise i hear everyone in the staging lanes saying to return right after.

And that's why i only got 1 time trial run

I should have stated either tell people to return back to the staging lanes or ANNOUNCE WHEN EACH GROUP SHOULD BE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE STAGING LANES!

All i kept hearing over the p.a. system was "if the boyfriend wins he's sleeping on the couch yada...yada...yada "

Not to mention a call for eliminations in "30 minutes" which i never knew really even started.

This is one area where we did screw up. The organization of the lanes and classes.

A few things contributed to this, but I was not prepared for it as well.

First, the track wanted to call different lanes at different times (for some reason they skipped B1 in eliminations.)

As for calling cars to the lanes... I had invisioned having everyone pit in the back and calling up the classes when we were ready to run them. The track said with how little time we had that wouldn't work. And with how little space was available from the prior event it made it difficult to do.

And after we found out there was an issue with the lanes being marked wrong and people in the wrong lanes I did send someone down to the end of the staging lanes to direct traffic. I think that person decided not to do that...

Chalk up one more learning experience for next year...

---

when the track "forgot" to call bracket 1 to the staging lanes, is right after jason mack's outlaw mustang oiled the right lane down

i dont think it was an accident that they sent bracket 2 out first, they just figured they would send the slow cars down first, who cares for fairness
