the track was 1/8th mile, and there were some pretty fast cars there.
it was slick, but there were several good passes.
the only problem was the class divisions.. in "sportsman" you could have a pretty stock SS like mine and end up running a 08 s/c shelby... kinda retarded. lol
i ran a 67-68 GT350 and i beat him the first run, and he bought back in (single elimination, $10 to run again if you lost) and beat me next go round cause i spun REALLY bad off the line.
but for $20 bucks its def. worth it, and for 10 more you can be in the car show and race. plus being inside TMS and running on pit lane has a really really cool feel to it.

We were there but arrived too late to enter the races. We were timing the cars with our cell phones and the quickest cars were running around 9 seconds flat, guess that was due to the lack of traction from absolutely no track preparation. Looked like a fun time though. Just now got home at 5:30 am due to a flat in the Viper with no spare tire or jack.

Whats funny is that they pumped this up as a way to get "street racers" off the streets, but then they charge more to race then the local tracks that are actually prepped....
What are the different classes and rules for them?

Thats some shitty rules.
Basicly stock suspension and engine w/some bolts ons in the Sportsman class. It states "No turbo," but it doesn't rule out SC or N20. So you can get a bolt on Cobra on spray in that class? The "All control arms, shocks and springs must be in stock location" rule will put anyone with LCA relo brackets out of that class.
The next step for any of us is Street Outlaw which can be anything from a cam only daily driver on nittos to big cubed turbo car with 31x10.5" slicks. Realisticly, you could see a bolt on 4th gen with LCA relo brackets running a TTT5 car.
