Hey everybody. I had a thread going in the regional section to gage some interest in this event. We're putting on a street racing deal similar to the flashlight drags featured recently in Hot Rod. We've gotten permission to use the old dragstip in Assumption Illinois for a few events over the summer. Got some details to work out with the owner but it about 99.5% a sure thing. Rules are gonna be pretty simple. It's a 1/4 mile track but we're gonna start off running 1/8 for safety reasons. Mufflers will be mandatory but slicks will be allowed. You can do your own track prep if you want as long as you don't hold up the flow of things. No alcohol, no whining, no complaining. This is for fun and it's going to be a family friendly atmosphere. Race who you want, negotiate lengths, whatever. We're really going for a street racing vibe but safe and legal. No timing equipment and probably a flag or arm drop start. First one will probably be around the beginning of May. Looks like the entry fee will probably be $20 to race $6 to spectate with discounts for teenagers and pre registration. Kids 12 and under will get in free. This is gonna be a somewhat crude event to start out due to the fact that the grounds are sparse, no electricity anymore, no bleachers, we'll be using port a pottys and such. The asphalt is still pretty good and we'll find someone to handle concessions and all. This is going to cost way more than we thought to get started so we are looking for sponsors. We have to iron out some insurance issues and have a meeting next week with the property owner to figure out some other details. I'd love to here your input here or email me at ncperformance@hotmail.com. Watch our website ncperformanceinc.com for more details. Thanks everybody. Greg
