Will stock 6.1s have any reason at all to race?

If the 6.1 class is going to be full of cars with heads and cams and even strokers will there be any chance of competeing?

The 6.1 Class will be on a Bracket Format. For example your SRT-8 is 100% stock and it runs 13.00 in the 1/4 miles and let's say there is one there that is running a 426 Stroker and it is running 11.80.

In Time Trials you are trying to see how quick your car will run. Time Trials are all done with both cars leaving the starting line at the same time and the faster car gets to the finish line first. NOW on Bracket Racing the slower car takes off first and then the quicker car takes off last and trys to catch the first one WITHOUT breaking out.

For Example you dial in at 13.00, you take off and 1.20 seconds later the other car takes off, he has to catch you, and beat you to the finish without red lighting, or going quicker than his dial in of 11.80.

So YES you want to race.......I will even be giving a Class and a Demonstration on Saturday Morning. Here is a link from NHRA:
Basics of Drag Racing: E.T. Racing Explained

If you need me to go more into detail PM me your phone number and I will call.

Chuck

We would like to start getting a head-count to see who is interested. PM or post if you plan to just hang out or think you might like to run the strip.

Thank you for everyone's patience as we finalized some MAJOR event details. I am very happy to announce the wait is FINALLY over, and it’s now time to announce the entry fees for the much anticipated LX Event of 2008 - THE LX & BEYOND NATIONALS !!!

$20 Meet & Greet (Saturday Only)

$30 Car Show (Saturday Only)

$50 Drag Race Competition (Covers Both Days)

**Anybody that decides to race on Sunday that has already paid for the M&G or Car Show can do so by paying the additional amount to equal the $50 Drag Race Entry Fee. (i.e. M&G additional $30, Car Show additional $20)

All pre-registered guests will be parked on the in-field side of the track, along with the vendors and car show participants. All spectators of the event will be parked in the grass areas outside the track. Same as last year, we will have some major prizes and giveaways for this year's event from Power Ported Performance/Creative Induction Systems - Billet Technology - Advanced Automotive Concepts - Magnaflow Mufflers - Pedders Suspension just to name a few and ONLY those of you that get pre-registered will be eligible.

Due to the overwhelming number of folks attending this event, Paypal was just not a reasonable way to handle entry fees. Also, because the event will be held at the race track it is necessary for each driver to sign a liability waiver, which is much easier to do in advance versus trying to do it the day of the event. For those reasons, registration will be done via US Mail ONLY. After the deadline passes, entry fees are subject to increase!!!!!!

Many, many more event announcements to come so stay tuned . . . .


Is it June yet?

This is for people that are driving to the meet.

Those of you that are flying in I would also suggest you do a MAPQEST printout as well. Anthony, myself and a SPONSOR have something special for you.

Is it June yet ?

That being said, are any of the locals going for a little "bull run" before going to the track? I wouldn't mind getting up and doing a little sight seeing before the traffic gets thick but I don't know the roads.

Anybody? Bueller?

Good idea.

I will post on the other forums too and see if anybody is interested.

Since I will be pretty busy with the LX Nats stuff maybe some of the other Columbus locals would be interested in organizing a "bullrun"? (DanaM, Mr. Bill, MidlifeCrisis, rogerdoger, pmpn8ez, Pigman 440, sublime 781, Spankis, Rodie, InfernoRed300C)

YES. Others are allowed to submit a letter to nominate someone else. Very good idea.

Its up to them to accept if they are chosen.

[turbobuckeye]

Time to BUMP this back to the top.

Print out the form at the bottom of post #1, fill it out, sign it,
get your entry fee in the mail or PayPal (centralohiolx@hotmail.com)
Registration accepted until May 17.

***Pre-registration for door prizes is CLOSED***
***Participant gate fee will increase $10 on day of event***
*Additional passengers and spectators will remain at $10*

We will be mailing out confirmation packages to everyone pre-registered which is the reason why we have to close registration on May 17 to allow enough time for US Mail to deliver to you before the event.
This will make check-in at the event very smooth.

Brian at Excel Sportswear, took all of me and Chuck's suggestions, visions and thoughts......

Along with the images of fellow forum member's rides......

(B&G Banana's - Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, Dantra's - Dodge Magnum R/T, OMSRT8's - Chrysler 300C SRT8, and Modern Horsepower's - Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8)

Put his hands on this project and BAM!!! . . . . . . The Official 2008 LX & Beyond Nationals T-shirt!!!

The back of the t-shirt will include logos of ALL vendors that sponsored and helped to make this year's event possible.

We will be excepting pre-orders for t-shirts beginning on June 1, via PayPal or you can pick one up at the event. These are not those cheap t-shirt that shrink or the colors disappear after you wash them. They are heavy duty, top quality shirts.

No plans to ship any shirts at this time but it is possible we will look at that option after the event is over.

Thank you to Excel Sportswear for putting their #1 artist on the job!!!
