FWD DRAG DAY 24th JUNE

[gtpornstar]

EXPRESION OF INTEREST/SUGGESTIONS

Place - Meremere (just 60Km south of Auckland)
Date - Sat 24th June 2006
Gates Open 8.30AM
Cost - $50 (includes FULL Timing Printout), Free for Viewers
CARS MUST HAVE WOF AND REG (No cars allowed to run sub 12 Sec Times)
YOU MUST HAVE A HELMET, NO skimpy clothing and must no Jandals/Sandals

Ok basically we are judging interest on holding this day in June as we want to get full timing in use so we get our 60 ft times and at the same time want to keep it small so that we get a decent set of runs in. Hence the price may fluctuate slightly, if we end up over charging people with regards to entry fees we will refund racers. If it is rained out we will refund racers after we pay Champion Dragway's costs of a rain out. Basically we are not keeping any profit from this.
Will try to keep the numbers to under 60. There will be a little sizzle on the day

Stu (4agte) will be collecting entry fees prior to the day as we will only reserve a spot for you wih payment and need a minimum number of cars to be able to pay for the track.

It is a requirement that we dont have cars running sub 12.0 s (cars running under 12s passes are not considered as a street car so thats why
over 12s passes you must have a wof and reg). If we however get many people interested that think they will run a sub 12 then we may look into
this but at this stage not too many FWD's would be sub 12 I think .

bah FWD only

[Malcolm]

any reason why only fwd? I think you'd struggle to get the numbers if it was limited to just Toyota, further limiting it to FWD basically means starlets, corollas and celicas, so you're really limiting possible entries

[Silent Knight]

How about the rest of us race in reverse then?

Should be a good day, will show who's got the best backing skills at the fastest pace..

[Dell'Orto]

What, no burnout comp?

[FrEsH]

he explained why its limited to FWD it gets very expensive to hire the track once you get sub 12 cars racing, i think we should fill the numbers fine already have 15 or so racers so come on guys will be a mint day ;p

[HELBND]

uh... not many of the guys on here with RWDs are running sub 12s either

[gtpornstar]

I fully understand how we are really only appealing to a small audience but that was the objective. We wanted to limit the numbers at this drag day so as to keep it manageable and for everyone to get a lot of runs in.

Why FWD ? I think a lot of FWD racers are put off coming to the drags because they have to line up against a rear wheel drive supra/skyline/etc.

We are actually only looking for 50-60 racers in order to hold the event ... which means each racer gets to do heaps of runs.

HOWEVER, if we dont get the numbers then we will be opening it to others as well, but obviously it may not appeal to the faster cars as we cant run sub 12's.

Who would be keen if it was opened up to all Toyota's ?

thats why you run classes

anyways id be keen - and god knows my car isnt fast

[Malcolm]

yeah you could just say - all Toyotas but noone doing under 12s
You'd be doing well to get 60 Toyota folks to show up I think Usually the most under-represented Japanese car make at drag days

[Malcolm]

oh yeah, I would be keen if RWDs are allowed, provided my left arm is working properly by then

I think you missed the part where we want to keep this small and manageable

Yeah we could run classes but we want to keep it small and interesting and get a lot of runs ... more classes you have the more time it takes lining up etc etc.

Anyways will keep you all posted ... Anyone else ?
