Thumbs up Import vs Domestic Charity event May 2nd and 3rd Central Alabama



Two day import vs domestic competition brought to you by DixieMuscleCars.com, Motorvations, and ZSolutions.

Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society.


Day one: Dyno competition

Location: Walker Dyno Tune Trussville AL.
Time: 8am-5pm
Rules: Every participant must drive to the dyno. All cars must have current tag and insurance. Each side, import and domestic, will have 10 slots. They will alternate so one side doesn't get the benefit/harm of the morning or afternoon heat/cold. You will get 2 pulls to make the most horsepower you can. Each side is allowed 2 ringers. The above rules do not apply to the ringers. We are looking for 400+whp for every participant and at least 1000whp per ringer. This event does not cost anything to participate. Lunch will be provided for all sponsors and dyno participants as well as anyone who gives blood. LifeSouth will be there for blood donations.


Day two: 1/4 drag race

Location: Alabama International Dragway Steele AL.
Time: Gates open at 1. If you are headed I-59N please meet at the Texaco off of exit 154 around 12:15-12:20 for some photos and rolling shots.
Rules: Every participant must drive to the track. You can bring a trailer but only for back up purposes. Working on a deal to have ABC Towing there offering free tows to anyone who breaks. All cars must have current tag and insurance. No foreign engine swaps. .500 pro tree. No tube chassis cars. No wheelie bars. FWD can use slicks. RWD and AWD must be on a DOT metric, non wrinkle wall tire. 28" height limit. Everyone who wishes to participate will make at least 1 qualifying pass. The top 13 from each side will then be paired up and race each other. The 13ths quickest import will race the 13th quickest domestic, 12 vs 12 etc. Quicker qualifier of the match up gets lane choice. This event will not take up the entire track time. Qualifying passes will run between normal test and tune. It does not cost anything extra to participate in this event. Once everyone has qualified then the top 13 will have the track to themselves. If there are only 10 of one side participating then there will only be 10 match ups.

Sponsors: We are asking for $100 minimum to help sponsor this event. Checks will be made to American Cancer Society and are tax deductible. The money is not needed until the event. If you have a product to donate, tires, nitrous kit, etc that will be fine too. We are currently looking for more items to raffle.

How can you help? Post this info on any forum you think might be interested. Print out the flyer and leave it on car windshields. Ask your boss if the company would be willing to sponsor the event. It is cheap advertising and it's a tax deduction. Tell everyone you know.

Questions? Need more info? Post up or click here.

Bad weather early kept a few cars away but it will still a nice turn out. The domestics ended up winning by 411hp. The race portion tomorrow has been postponed due to weather. Will post up whenever another date is set.
