Fords vs GMs-1/16/10 @ Speedworld in AZ!

[TuksonMike]

Got it setup with Speedworld for Saturday, Jan 16th. Gates open at 9 am! I will post times as the date gets closer, but expect all day if we can get a decent turn out.
The following clubs are getting invites and messages on their boards:
AZMustangs
AZ Desert Goats
Desert Street Cars
Arizona Vettes (Ace)
AZ Street Scene
ModularFords
SVTPerformance
AZLOC

Feel free to post this anywhere you want, however please make sure those who want to go RSVP on one of the above forums or message me to let me know there is a post elsewhere so I can track it. I will try to update the forums daily on who is coming and hopefully by december have everything ironed out with classes and a good idea of how many are coming!

This will be a heads up Ford vs GM race - youre welcome to pick your opponents, HOWEVER please have that decision made BEFORE you get into the lanes! There will be two lanes just for the Ford vs GM, obviously one for each make... Most wins to a brand wins, IE 15 wins to Ford vs 12 wins to GM or vise versa!
There will be a best 2 out of 3 Ford vs GM races meaning everyone will race at least 3 times (unless you break, or speedworld kicks you out for lack of safety equipment). After each race you will be allowed to either change your opponent, or class in case you break out or want to go faster/slower or got disqualified in the previous race. Time permitting, we can go to 3 out of 5 and more etc. There will be about an hour inbetween races to allow for class changes, cool off, repairs, changes etc. Please keep in mind you ARE allowed to race as much as you want all day because while this is a club day, it is still open for normal racing all day!

Any shops are welcome to come and advertise for no charge and are encouraged to offer discounts or gift cards for winners in any classes such as fastest Ford, fastest GM, or however else they want to set it up.

All track rules and tech rules apply and entry is $25 to race, $15 to spectate.

Please RSVP if you are FOR SURE going to come and/or FOR SURE going to race. I dont want maybes or might be going or might have plans but not sure, I need a head count for Speedworld and I would like it to be accurate! Any questions about the event, please PM me, any questions about the track and you can contact Speedworld http://www.speedworlddragstrip.com - If you have suggestions, or would prefer something added to the race, please PM me and I will go over it... end goal here is a fun day with no drama!
Once you are in, please PM me with your screen name, real first name, vehicle info and basic mods, and times, as well as which class you want to run in. MODS AND TIMES WILL NOT BE POSTED! This is only for me to match the vehicles up if you do not choose your own opponent!
Pro Race does not have to list mods

Any ideas to add please feel free to add them! Otherwise post up if youre going or not and how many you are bringing with you!

Please post user name and first name with last initial, and car, and if you have a grudge to settle, feel free to put it up as well, although those will all be decided the day before when we have a full count!

UPDATE! Classes now listed!!
These are NOT in stone and I may further divide them. We have just over 50 people signed up, and I may have to get a few of the Ford guys to run twice to make the teams even with the same number of races, but I assure you, the pick will be fair and not favored towards either team!

Beginner Street class - These are your 14.0 and higher teched vehicles or those with little seat time. Non or very few modded GMs and Fords who are not teching for 13.99 or faster, meaning no helmet, driveshaft loop etc. If you break out of this class and run 13.99 or faster, not only will you be disqualified from the race, but Speedworld will make you re-tech with the proper safety equipment. You can re-enter once you have passed tech with the proper equipment into the correct class, but depending on open spots, you may not be allowed to compete. You will still be allowed to run all day at the track though.

Street radial class - These are street tires ONLY, NOT Drag Radials. BFG KDs are still a street tire, however NT555Rs or any road race/drag race radial is considered non street! You can be as fast as you want on a street tire and either choose your opponent, or we will match you up with a similar modded vehicle. Mach 1s and GTOs, 03 Cobras and cammed LSx cars, etc will be similar match ups. If you tech faster then 11.50 (11.49 or faster) you will be required to enter the race class to be fair to others.

Drag Radial class This includes all drag and road race tires. If you tech faster then 11.50 (11.49 or faster) you will be required to enter the race class to be fair to others. If you run 11.49 or faster, or tech for 11.49 you will not be allowed in this class, and if you tech for 11.50 but run faster, you will be disqualified and required to re-tech for your legal times.

Race class - This class is for cars running 11.49 or faster with no tire limitations. You do NOT have to run at least 11.49 to be in the class, but this is a run what you brung class with no limits. Cars ranging from 9 to 11 second quarter miles will be running, so its best to either pick an opponent for this race, or list realistic times and mods to be matched correctly with one.

Pro Race class By popular demand, this is a run what you brung class with NO time board. Win lights only for those who dont want their times known! You are recommended to pick your opponent as well, but this class is unregulated on mods and tires!

Diesel Class!
1. USAF HESS - James - 04 Chevy Duramax


I may expand these more depending how many more people join in, but this should separate all the race cars, street cars, people out to have fun and the sandbaggers all at once!

Here is a template to PM me with if you need one
*Forum name
*Real name and last initial
*vehicle year/make/model
*brief list of mods (ie exhaust, intake, pullies, power adders, larger blowers, engine swaps to larger cubes)
*estimated 1/4 mile time (I will disqualify sandbaggers, this is a fun race meant to be fun for everyone. If you want to sandbag, run in the race classes.)
*Type of tire used
*class you wish to be in
*opponents forum name if you have one you would like to race.

I will try to get back with you ASAP.

Here are the classes- If you DO NOT want to run the opponent you are selected against, please PM me. Any selections done now are done from people making requests.

[Lucafu1]

[TuksonMike]

Updated! Please read the new rules and PM me with info!

[El Jefe]

This is gonna be awesome

[TuksonMike]

added a diesel class!

[rsnider]

It doesn't look like a stock 03 Mach 1 automatic would have a chance? Everything has 100-200 more hp in the street tire class. I'll give a GTO a go but an 07 Zo6 is way out of my league, both $$ and e.t.

How do you propose to run a 500 hp Vette vs a 300 hp 01 Cobra or Mach? I'm having trouble invisioning how the matchups are going to happen.

You would be fine... plenty of high 13/low 14 second stock GTOs will be there as well. I dont plan on running 500 rwhp vettes against stock cobras, just like I wont put a terminator against a stock GTO. There will be more then enough cars showing up to get everyone happy!
Also keep in mind many cant drive and having an auto you WILL have an advantage, I promise you!

[Mr. Austin]

This will be cool. Government owned Vs. Stand Alone.
