Congrats PJ on winning the quick 8!
Great time and a family day to boot with all the kids in attendance. Gotta get some little QTP shirts made up for the tots.
Great event and great times, even though I got eliminated in the first round I was still very happy to be a part of it all, thanks again Barry/QTP.

I talked a little with Barry and we are going to try and work together for 2008.

Great job today guys. Full field of 8 cars was great.
Edgar, you have that car running great now. It'll be good to have you running the Quick 8 next year.

It was a lot of fun watching the kids play. Like Romper Room at the track. That race between P.J and Barry was awesome. Barry caught P.J sleeping at the tree by like 4 tenths. If Barry ran another 10.5 he would have won.

Does PJ leave late on purpose? I heard the final announced over the load speaker and the announcer said neither car wanted to leave.

Here are some pictures from Saturday. Great turnout and some really nice cars. Does anyone know the specs on QTP's Camaro's trans?

Big talk from a guy who was too scared to come race with the Big Boys in the QTP Heads-Up class.

So I didn't win...at least I showed up to support a class I believe in.

Stick with your little "Corvette Only" race groupies.

Let the Men race Heads-Up!

This is good news.....I think.

Barry, Make sure we don't get put on some obscure day & time?
Redgar, before or after a Corvette event wouldn't be too bad?

No one cares about your slow azz 12 second camaro.

Get a bar and race heads-up for real instead of being first round fodder Till then, don't waste your time and hurt your two index fingers typing 'cause I won't be replying to someone sitting at the children's table.

I'm new to the circle, but, it was a great day. I learned alot and got to meet some great people at the same time. We definitely got lucky with the weather. Even more lucky with everyone racing late into the night with no problems. Well almost....

I look forward to more good times if they're going to be as good as this. Thank you to all involved and congrats to PJ (that Bird is FAST!). A special thanks to Barry for giving me my first "hit" to get me hooked

1st one won't happen.

2nd one is a lie.

3rd You didn't show, because you knew, I would knock you out if we raced.
Chicken Little!

If you ran Corvette, GM EFI, Ford EFI, Power-Adders and then a bigtime race off- then it would be interesting. Also- a Pure Street with *real* street tires and I think this "domestic mix" would guarantee a high car count and interest/participation.

Memphis had a cool 30-mile cruise and then 3 runs- back to back, really cool.. maybe those who were there can expound upon that.

Here's the specifics...

I was at the LSX Shootout and ran the True Street thing. It is a fun thing to do but I felt it was missing the racing aspect. I screwed up cause I thought they were running us with the regular cars and expected some 8 second cars so I tried to slow my car to try and win the 11.0 prize. I short changed myself.

What you are describing sounds like a lot of fun and something I would race in, who am I kidding, I would race in anything LOL, but not something I can take on right now in setting up. I am pretty tapped out now with organizing the Corvette Challenges (we may be adding a new class) and the E-town indexes and helping out with the LSX Shootout for next year and trying to maintain my own racing schedule.

The Big Three- GM EFI.. Ford EFI.. Corvette EFI.. = High Car Count.

Throw in True Street and Power-Adder Classes = Mass Appeal/ Big Car Count.

Advertise in the top 5 or 6 bulletin boards (LS1Tech and LSx Boards, SVT and Modular Boards, Corvette Forum) plus track flyers and it would be a winner!
