Default The Official "call out" thread

There is a lot of fun being poked around here so I would like to see some official challenges being thrown down with some dates posted later this summer for some of the "show downs"

Races I would like to see:

Robert vs. Ellis

Ellis vs. Ryan

Don B vs. Brian S

I'm always in for a "buck". Shall we make it "Pinks" format best 3 out of 5? Maybe Bremerton would be willing to try a format like this as a test?

As long as Rick's parts pile stays on his bench like it has for the last 2 years, I'll call him out versus my Volvo abortion!

Sounds like a plan. Although if someone steps up & buys my D1, I might have to slap your slow-old-school-*** down. And you can use both stages then.....

Otherwise (sadly) it will be how close can I stay to your rear bumper.

And I want to see Doug blow the doors off a certain black Cobra. Unless Tyler is skerdt!

Trust me I won't need more then one stage, besides two stages on my car = oil slick and going way beyond the chassis tag! Hell one stage should get me close enough to what the car is certified for.

I will tell you one thing, From the looks of his setup, I kinda think Eric will come out on top on that one. He lives like four doors down from me. Its a mean looking machine.

That would be a badass race though.

Around that time frame I should be pushing some decent numbers as well. Maybe I will buy in for the hell of it...

Kind of hard for me to win anything with the car in it's current state. It's about 95% complete, but I am scheduled to go on the road for most of the summer again. I just got back from being on the road for 3 months to boot. I would love to race during whatever small portion of the race season I am home.

I was waiting for my name to come up, but wasn't really sure who would be a good match but lining up with 'ole Dougie is a great plan.
Tell 'ya what, if I can piece together a suspension to hold together I'll definitely be out there but I did virtually zero racing in 2007 because of that single element.

Blah, blah, blah... I'm looking to upgrade jobs within the next few weeks and if everything works out it should open the flood gates on a few things including a solid rear. I'm not so concerned about adding power, but a small shot of nitrous to cool the charge of air would be a nice touch.
