2011 Top Dog Race

ok I'll give this a try.

This is for fun and for street cars. All heads up racing.

The rules (subject to change) will be similar to last year except no points system, no extra call outs, Last race will be a ladder between the top 8 (or top 4 cars if we don't have much participation) . Winner of that race will be the new Top Dog. I won't make it to the track every race, but I'm sure 1iron, Mark, Darryl, Ken etc... will let me know who won to adjust the list.

I took the liberty to start a list of people who I thought would want to race (no particular order right now) Let me know if you don't want to race, and I'll remove your name. Anyone that wants to join post up.

That's fine, you will just lose your spot for that month. You need to be in the top 8 for the final race, and you will have a chance at Top Dog.

Although the final will most likely be at Bowman. I'm sure you can make it one time.

Hey Mike through me in there.

Not trying to be hard Mike just dont feel Safe taking my car down Bowman

The track is just not safe to me, thats all, but not tryin to cry or anything, Im sure Im the only one that feels that way, and no need to make changes just for that, we will see what happens

These are the rules from last year. We will be mostly going off the same format.

all cars must be registered and insured by you
you may have more than one car on the list
only a family member may drive your car
no cars are required to drive to track
no lexan windows, no boxes. Transbrake is ok
no money to be involved on the list. money races belong in grudge sections

TOP DOG races will be held on the 3rd weekend of the month. rain date/special occasion will be 4th weekend
there will be one post started by me the first of every month that says top dog races. this is where the callouts will be tracked

Callouts wont be a particular person but a spot on the list.
Top Dog will race first and will most likely have to run the 2,3 and 4 car right in a row if they show up. if your car cant go down the track 3 times in a row, its not a street car.

1. Call outs
a. Spots 1-10 can call out 3 spots.
b. Spots 11-20 can call out 4 spots
c. Spots 20+ can call out 5 spots.

2. Racing.
a. Before a racer can win by default, they will have to race the highest place lower than the place they are winning. Although if there is no one available in any of those spots it then can become a default win.
• Example: Spots 1, 4, 5, 6 are in attendance. Spot 2 is called out by spot 5. In order for spot 5 to take spot 2 they will have to race whoever is in spot 4
b. A racer is allowed to race the lowest spot above their current spot as long as no racer in attendance is being by-passed. If they win they take that spot. If they lose, they go 1 spot behing the person they raced.
• Example: Spots 1,4,8,14,26 are in attendance. Spot 26 can elect to call out spot 14. If 26 wins they will be awarded spot 14. If they lose they get spot 15 [/b]
wins/losses will be tracked at the track once a month.
i will be looking for sponsors.
there are a few of us that make money off this site and will be asked to be a sponsor in some way. those of you that work at auto parts stores, see if you can get a gift cert or something small for sponsorship. guys that eat at longhorns every weekend, ask them. if everyone chips in a little, it could become a good payout to the winners.

Top Dog will begin asap in the spring and End December.

Mike, I'm in no matter where we race. Heads up, bracket or whatever. I will put mine in the lights no matter who my opponent is as long as they can stay in their lane. Looking forward to a new year.

Mike are you going to allow people to run a delay box in TD or no?

I was thinking Marcus was joking about that, I thought all he ran was foot brake anyways.

Pretty hard to detect if a delay box is being used.

honor system.

I would hope no one cheats, but we will see. I think some bracket racers like Darryl will know.

I'd like to participate! Please add my name to the list.

What good is a delay box in a run what you brung race?

Mainly just reaction time. that all it deals with so you can dial your box in to get a perfect reaction

Still shouldn't really matter. Even with a delay box, you have to take your finger off the button at the right time. If racing heads-up, electronics shouldn't make a difference.

but they do to some. when letting off the button on the first yellow will catch somes eyes better than following the yellows down to the green. that the hole point of the delay box and being able to adjust the delay in the box to help the one that are a little slower on reactions. i dont really car just explaining. some are just as good as the box and some aint

Hey Mike add me to the list, Sound's Like a Lot of Fun,(Note You can Drive My SLOW TRUCK if you want to add yourself to the List) Your Buddy Mitch:bigthumb:

You know me, I have to be in. I personally don't care if they run a delay or not, after all its a run what you brung race, and I am coming out the gate regardless. Some people are more consistant with delays, Mark is the same way. Doesn't matter to me either way, I have the same outlook as Chillerman..:bigthumb:
