60-130 and 1/4 Mile Event - November 21, 2009

OK, the temps should be nice and cool for our November 60-130/private 1/4 mile track rental... Like the September event, we will have the track to ourselves to 60-130 AND to run unlimited 1/4 mile passes. The track was not prepped well in September but John (owner of the track) has given us his support for a full trakc prep for our event in November. Details below:

When: Saturday November 21, 2009

Where: Lonestar Motorsports Park (Sealy, TX)

Time: Gates open at 2:30 pm and track is hot from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Cost: spectators are $15 and racers are $50 (same as always)

Caravan Info: meet at Frankenstein's Bar/Grill (just south of I-10 off of Mason Rd.) at 12:30 pm and grab a bite to eat prior to heading out to Lonestar. We will leave promptly at 1:45 pm to Lonestar.

The track will re-open at 7:00 pm and will be open to all 60-130 participants to drag race until midnight (just in case you don't get enough 1/4 and 60-130 racing before then!!!!)

Peter,

I am worried that my car may not reach 130 mph. Exactly how far do we have to run safely before shut down.

Thanks,

Ben

apparently you need about a mile to reach any significant speed...therefore you can't compete in this even. But you can watch for $15.

Hmmm... An official event to get some 60-130 and 1/4 mile passes in. Looks like I'm in on this one as long as nothing comes up between now and then!

AT TX2K8 I had the time of my life.

Peter runs a first class event that attracts a great crowd.

If I brought my Volvo, would I win a "booby prize" ?
