Default Fearless Performance Street Car Event

im putting together a little bracket style event at hrp.there will be a 12 sec. and 11 sec. class and maybe a 13.all 10 cars i have so far are stock trim street cars and im trying to keep it that way.the way im doing it is everyone buys in for 20 bucks which goes in the pot. we draw for eliminations,we run.if you lose and still want to try again you can buy in a second time for 40 bucks.this is gonna be a winner takes all.anyone that is interested LMK.

Default street trim

full interior,all working lights,basically what i mean is i really dont want any gutted all-out race cars but,as long as you are under the 11.00 break out i cant say much about alil weight reduction.i am very aware that the most of the 11 sec. cars will have cages.i have no problem with cages as long as the interior is there.and also if you have a nitrous kit on your car you must use it...im just trying to make things fair so we wont have any sand-baggin.most of the cars i have so far still have working a/c and run on pump gas.i am gonna schedule a meet in jan. for everyone that wants to run.i will keep everyone posted.

I might do this if there is plenty of notice so I can make the trip from Dallas. We would all want to know the payout and all the necessary details. So the idea is to have each class do a bracket style? I like that.

How are you going to handle this with HRP? Do you plan on renting the track, or trying to squeeze this gathering/event in with a normal test & tune night?

squeezing it in during a T&T night is a bad idea if you actually want things somewhat organized and guarantee it gets finished. Its not unusual to sit up to 1 hr between passes during the cool weather racing season at HRP.

Renting HRP is ridiculously priced unfortunately, thats why our events are at San Antonio Raceway even though I live in Houston.
