The $100.00 acceptance fee counts me out.

Its not that out of line IMO. Its just assurance to them that they're not going to hype up a huge event that none of the contestants show up for.

I thought that you could still get that acceptance fee back, if you're not going to be able to attend, up to a certain point, but I'm not sure.

I just meant that I can spend that amount of money on several different activities rather than all on one. That's six different trips to the street legal drags

But as long as you show up, that $100 is refunded to you. All it is is a place holder. And you get a lot more at this even then you ever would at your street legal drag nights.

That's also up in the air now. It's either going to be Mt. Comfort or up at the airport in Anderson.


Anderson is off I69 Northeast of Indy.
Mt. Comfort is OFF I-70 east of Indy.

I wouldn't get a lot more out of the event....As far as racing is concerned, I don't care about anything else but drag racing.

We're looking for guys who can do more than just driving in a straight line, that's for sure.

As noted the $100 is a retainer to make sure you show up, nothing more.

The registration forms are now online, and the event will be help at Anderson airport!

They're selecting cars from race cars to stock. They just happen to be picking the higher hp cars now, as they're kinda shoe-ins. Plus alot of those people raced last year. I've signed up and am hoping to get in.

Good luck! It's going to be a fun event. I really wish I could race, but I dont' want to bring Team USA down. I'm just going to participate in the car show and watch everyone else. HOpefully next year I'll be able to enter the races.

Come on guys, there are only 2 F-Body's so far. I was selected and have a whopping 2 autocrosses under my belt, experience doesn't matter at all, they're just trying to have a fun time while keeping it competitive. My car isn't modded to much, and has very little suspension work.

Where else can you find out 100-0, 0-60, and slalom times for your car?

Come on, there have to be more people interested in something like this. It's a chance to drive your car, while doing it for a great cause. Team USA is a little down right now in heavy hitters compared to the Import team, so we need some help.
