As some may know, and for those who don't, this event is for the kids at Riley Hospital for Children-Here in Indianapolis. For whatever reason, those kids were dealt a bad blow early on in their lives, and because of that, we are coming together, as an automobile community, to roll up our sleeves, tighten the chin-strap on our helmets, and go out there and RIP IT UP on the track, and raise alot of money for those kids!! It will be a day you WON'T FORGET!!
Here is how we are going to spend the day:
It is an Import vs Domestic Shootout, to see "Who has what", in terms of strait-line acceleration, braking, cornering, and overall handling of their cars. This year we are changing the events a bit, to keep it EXCITING to both Participate in, and to WATCH!! The pace and events will be fast, and will be the most fun you can have, and you should go home at the end of the day, with a warm heart, and a grin that won't wipe off!!
Number of cars: The field will be bigger this year, whereas we will have 130 cars. (65 for TEAM IMPORT/65 FOR TEAM USA) Registration will be open for a couple months, to get everyone who wants to compete, a change to enter the "pool" of participants. Teams will be selected at that time, to be evenly matched, in their classes.
Racing Events:
1. Auto-x. Each team member has 3 passes on a large autox course. This event you will race for lowest time/fastest run, which will count for the team.
2. Dragrace: You will have 5 passes down the dragstrip, with LOW E.T. being the time you keep for the team.
3. Carshow for Racers: Your car will be parked and judged and scored. This is your "break time" to go look around/eat/take in the cars in the GENERAL carshow, etc...
This is a "TEAM" effort, whereas 65 cars compete for points for their team, and at the end of the day, we will crown one team: "Winged Warrior III Speed Challenge Champions!" Either Team USA, or Team IMPORT.
There will also be individual battles. Your Team USA class, will be pitted against the same class on the Team IMPORT side! We will award trophies to each class 1st/2nd/3rd.
The Car/Motorcycle/racecar/exotic/truck show will be going on the grounds at the same time. There will be LOTS of trophies/Prizes that are up for grabs, and plenty of Vendors, food drink and more!.
(If you are considering Vending/Sponsoring, let us know as the spaces are filling up)
This is just a brief update on how we are running things for this event, and how things are going to work out for this year, it is OPEN to people with STOCK cars, all the way up to WOW cars, NO EXPIERENCE, to LOTS OF EXPIERENCE- This event is OPEN FOR YOU!
You will walk away from this event, with a happy feeling, that you did the best you could, both for yourself, and the kids who need you, and surely you will have made friends which will last a lifetime!
If you haven't yet, go sign up and join us today!
More to follow on this, but Friday, May 11th, we will be having our TECH inspection at O'Reilly Raceway Park for the cars selected to compete in the WWIII. We will also be allowing some Test and Tune on the DRAGS that evening as well. Track will be open till Midnight, the day before our event.
There is alot more to mention, and that will come out shortly, just don't wan't to get too wordy yet!! We are going to do something special for the kids in the hospital come race day, you surely will think it is special as well. Again, more details out soon. Go sign up and enjoy everything on the site!! www.wingedwarrior.net click WW Forums, or Register tab.
Till later,
Kevin Butterfield D.C.
Chairman of the Board.

Very good event for Riley, I have been a patient there before (and was in a childrens hospital in Denver for a week) and its a great place with a lot of very sick kids and you will never know untill you go up there.
I hope my car in done in time to be able to race. My heads and intake go out this week or first of next week. Still have to get the cage in, its going to be CLOSE!
I allways thought it would be really cool if some of the kids could come out and watch but I also know that like 90% of those kids could not leave the hospital..

Looked on the site for what kinds of tires you can have. The tires you run, have to be run for the whole event. You cannot change them. Basically street tires only.
No single purpoes tire allowed (drag radials, R-compound tires, slicks)
60-139UTQP r-compound tires are allowed, but with a +15 point addition. Not sure if you can run M/t et streets, nitto drag radials or that stuff.

Thats kind of what keeps things fair, not everyone can afford like 3 sets of tires for each event so you are stuck with one. My buddies Viper did rather well on the skid pad with his BFG radials but it sucked on the auto-X because he could not kick the rear end out in the hair pin turn.
If this rule was not there would would have people on stickies on all four corners for the auto-x and skid pad, and skinies and slicks for the drag, it would be a huge adcantage for them.
Me I will just run the straight line stuff....
