Too bad the old car club bash series fell apart. That would be something fun to get going again.

LTX/LSX would fun to have, we are open to any suggestions. Is it a 1/4 or 1/8 mile track?
Yea i believe thats it, just a little east of crockett. Its a 1/4 track but you could have a 1/8 and a 1/4 race in one day, take your pick or both. They usually run there electronics class 1/8 and footbrake 1/4. I also think it should be a non-electronics race because thats what majority of us are...

It was a bracket type set up w/ westside mustangs, houston-f-bodies, halo, hail and probably someone else.
Couple races a year on a points style set up for bragging rights, then you could have a fastest car at the event type thing.
it used to be at sealy when there was a drag strip out there that was open to the public on a regular basis

That sounds like something we should try to get back together again..Sounds like it could be fun, but I think it could end up as a comp. between shops in Houston...

Well if you have ever attended some events similiar to this, do you have any insight as to what kind of class set-ups and such?

Maybe I could help out with this after the shootout? Sorry for not making it up this year Tony. Fill us in on how the car does. Interested. I think Ray is gonna try and run you down. Might be building him a powerglide to help him do it.
