April 27th Airfield Event

I have secured the Caddo Mills Airport for Sunday, April 27th. The basic format would be a one-day "roll-on" side by side "performance exhibition". All participating cars must be streetcars, fitted with a true street radial...including fully DOT for highway use, drag radials. No wannabe trailered streetcars. If your car can't be driven from wherever, I don't consider it a streetcar. The four classes proposed are....

500hp and less
500-750hp
750-1000hp
1000hp+

Participants will be pre-screened and placed in the appropriate class. The cost will be $200/each. At least 1/2 of the excess proceeds will go to a local charity. This event is NOT FOR PROFIT, and pay-outs will be made if possible.

The "roll-on" distance will be approx. 1/4 mile, giving plenty of room for a streetcar to shut-down.

PM me if you're interested. FYI- 30 have already confirmed from Houston and the Dallas area.

Kelly

So just because there will be insanely fast streetcars at this event, the badboy P-cars, BMW's, etc don't want to play? C'mon now, there's a HP class for everyone.

Im in for one car for sure. Might even be in for 2 cars if I can get someone to drive the other car there. Neither of my cars are fast; just wanna make comparison runs with maybe a chipped 997tt, a Murcie (dario better come), etc. Let me know if you need an advanced deposit.

Ill send this to my buddy who bought an 08 Viper and has been wanting to compare with my Z06 and GT.

Good to hear. Please send payment via paypal to rlcslick2@aol.com.


I also have a back-up airfield just north of DFW, just to make sure this event happens.

It was almost half a mile. But the high HP cars did not have enough brake room.

I'm in for at least spectating, if not driving. When you say roll-on, what's the start speed?

if its only a 1/4 mile why not just go to a drag strip and do roll-ons there?

I don't know what to say to that. I was driving a car with 3 times the power of your AWD P-car...and my throttle control ability was just fine. As far as the run length, it will be at least 1320 ft. If you could hit 160mph+ in a rolling 1/4 mile, then you would understand. Keep in mind, the majority of the cars that have RSVP'd have at least 500rwhp.
