Carolina Horsepower Shootout Question

Mike · 03-25-2008, 09:39 PM

Would you guys be willing to race in an event like this. Again its very little money, its just something to have fun with while we are at the track.

Rules:

Any car is allowed.

Any device that aids in achieving a prearranged or programmed elapsed time, such as a timer device, or stutter box, or 2 or 3-step type of device must be removed from the vehicle during qualifying and eliminations. Foot braking only. Line-loc permitted.

This will be an index race ( Closest average of 2 runs without going under)

10.0 index
9.0 index
8.0 index
7.0 index
Fastest on CHP index

15 dollars to enter. You name what index you are running for, 10 dollars of your money will be in the pot for that index, and the other 5 goes to the pot for the fastest on CHP. Closest average time per index wins the pot for that index.

Please give me some feedback or suggestions if you are interested.

chrisheltra · 03-25-2008, 09:51 PM

Im down!

I think with my times lately I could win the 8.0 index with Ricks tune. lol

05Saleen · 03-25-2008, 10:03 PM

Don't forget about break outs. If you go faster than your time (In your rules). Sounds like fun.

I didn't plan on a break out, unless the majority wants it. If your 2 runs are 7.1 and 6.9 than your average is 7.0, and you would win the 7.0 index.

wow.... no trans brakes?

Mike · 03-25-2008, 10:20 PM

Now that I think about it a trans brake should be allowed.

I just copied that paragraph from a rulebook that I thought would prevent people from using electronics to dial in their E.T. But that rule was more set up for a bracket race than a index race

Since we will only be racing the clock, Reaction Time will not help anyone.

Chillerman · 03-25-2008, 10:54 PM

I like how this sounds. I might be interested as well. If I keep running 7.90's or better, I'll have to figure out how to go 8.0's.

LXtasy · 03-25-2008, 10:57 PM

What? No 13.0 index. lol

ahhh cool.

1iron · 03-26-2008, 08:29 AM

I'm in. I like the foot brake rule. Because I don't have a Transbrake. I guess its 7.0 for me.

Darryl Buckner · 03-26-2008, 09:21 AM

I wouldn't win anything, because I would probably be the only one going for 6.0....

Darryl Buckner · 03-26-2008, 09:23 AM

I guess I could lift and go for the 7.0, where there is more people.

Two words. Throttle stop.

Sounds like fun to me. At least we can get a group from here all together for a race.

Maybe at a later time, you can set up a bracket race for everyone. Darryl would surely be the favorite in that.

SWThomas · 03-26-2008, 08:26 AM

Sounds cool.

08 Racecraft · 03-26-2008, 12:24 PM

I'll run the 10 if turtle and EZ03 will run.We had fun last year

slowgreen99 · 03-26-2008, 02:09 PM

Darryl, ill run the 6.0 class with ya. See if we can get some more people for that class to make the pot at least $50. O yea, ill be starting at the 330. Hope to see ya there!

Dave · 03-26-2008, 03:39 PM

I need to do a few things to my CRX to get closer to the 10's, that's $20 in the 10.0 index, any other takers?

I would be game if I could get halftrack leave.

Dave · 03-26-2008, 05:38 PM

ur S-10's got to be faster then that, don't you have a SB 350 in there? JK, is it a v6 or i4? if it's a i4 I would understand if it's that slow, you don't think Mike could add a 11.0 index, I would be better off laying up a little to get it closer to 11's then trying to put a couple hundred bones into getting my front end camber'd and buying slicks, but then again I need to get that junk fixed before I go through another set of tires in a couple hundred miles.
