When would be your deadline to get the minimum required in?

I would assume you will be signed up for all events and will be ready to roll!

I will be running in the 60-130 and drag racing. I maybe doing the dyno but my numbers are just going to be the same as they always are (plus that means I have to take off the driveshaft and I learned my lesson the other weekend at the track as I almost put my car into a wall, whats funny is that it handles and drives fine on the street, but @ 132-134mph it got wild Still went a 11.3 @ 130 letting off at the 1000ft or so (when I let out I was at ~7300RPM in 4th.)). Plus with the 996TT's they need the right fan setup or it will read crazy. The road course and I do not get along. I don't have tires for it and my turbos are so lazy my lap times will SUCK!!!

Peter,

There is still no information about the 60-130 comp. Can you please elaborate which I believe is needed to increase turnout.

I'm not sure yet Sean......I do not know yet how to fit the 60-130 in to the events...I simply might make a driftbox an option for any car drag racing, however, i'm not yet sure.

How many guys do you think will hit 130+ trap speeds in the 1/4 to make that work. There is a pretty good run off at the end - not sure how safe it would be if someone stayed in it a little longer to hit 130.

I have a driftbox if an extra one is needed.

Do you have any new 60-130 #'s with the new setup?

We did 60-130 mph on the dragstrip last year and it seemed to work
fine. Am I missing something?? You let us roll right on through the box
and even if we started on the line, almost everyone entered into the 60-130 mph
would be able to hit 130 by the traps.
My understanding is the TX MILE is the next day (and a different organization, of course), will most competitors be going down there and running on sunday?
Did you list what/when we are supposed to pay yet?

thanks Peter!

Marty,
I believe Peter will have water in both lanes, making it dangerous to run thru the water on your way to 130.

Peter, correct me if I'm wrong.

Marty, right now the plan is to go to the TX Mile on Sunday...that is why the 60-130 won't be on the same day. I will somehow have to fit it in on another day... (either Friday or Saturday). I'm not 100% quite sure how I'm going to do that yet...maybe do 60-130 before drag racing starts on Friday night??? Hmmmmmm, that might work! As for information, check the FIRST PAGE for all info and payment info.

dk - you do NOT want to miss this event!

Peter
