PSCA Coming to Town

[Darkhorse04]

OCT. 8-10th at Firebird Raceway. Come on out and enjoy some great racing. They have a class for just about anyone so bring your car out and have some fun.

Also I have a bunch of Fliers if anyone works at a business where people might be interested in seeing some great racing or be interested in racing with us I can give you some to lay out. Or if you want some fliers to handout let me know and I will get them out to you.

Guys if you don't know PSCA has a class just for us Mustang guys and its sponsored by Ford Racing. The Class is Mustang Maddness and is a lot of fun! They also have a car show series that has a cash payout. I know Cruise on Central is that weekend but the race is a day race and so is the car show. So if you have the time to do both it would be great to see everyone there.

Mustang Maddness Rules:


http://www.pscaracing.com/images/FordRacingLogo200.jpg

Class Description:
Mustang Maddness is a "Open Comp Style" class that is designed for all Ford Powered Mustangs that run slower than 8.50 seconds in the 1/4 mile. The "Mustang Maddness" class will be run on an Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout. What this means is, you get 3 rounds of qualifying. You take 1/10th off your quickest time and that is your automatic dial-in for eliminations. This time will be yours throughout eliminations (it does not change). The best reaction time is the #1 qualifier, you will then be put on a Sportsman ladder for eliminations. There is basically no rules in this class, so come out and have some fun.
