NOTE: WE DO HAVE A RAIN DATE FOR RACING IN CASE WE NEED IT. IF IT WERE TO RAIN OUT ON THE 16TH WE WILL BE RACING ON MONDAY THE 17TH.


UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!

#1. In the past we've done some small parties/get togethers at my house. This was a big thing to be involved in with a lot of people and I got away from doing it in the past. This year for the first time in about 10 years I am once again going to do a night time get together that is open for anyone who wants to stop out. This will be done at our shop on Saturday night. We'll have a small fire here in the parking lot to hang out around, I'll supply some hotdogs to roast over the fire, buns/mustard/ketchup/chips and soft drinks. You are welcome to bring your own beer or alcohol here IF YOU ARE OVER 21 YEARS OLD. There will be a police roaming around from time to time so keep that in mind. It's just a chance to hang out, talk, tell some stories and relax. I will NOT supply any alcohol as much as I'd like to, liability is just too high. Keep in mind I am sure the local police will be looking very hard to arrest someone for DUI, so use your brains and if you drink don't drive.

Next we have the class payouts all settled and I want to list them.

Cool, plenty of time to get my car finished. LOL

[Indy_Evo]

You leave me no choice but to run next year since I have a year to get ready. Hopefully I have your and 9sec9's projects finished by then . Seriously, I did have a blast at the Dyno Day. See you this weekend at Columbus. It will be the first time in six years I have made a pass. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun. I think next weekend all the stuff in the cabinet is going on. vwjeff said he would come down for the day to help with the install. September 27-28 is the Maxton Mile and at least I will have some Buschur Stage 4 insurance to bump the record. The Import Face Off is in Indy and I guess I need to do that one also, so the season is not over yet. Thanks again, I will be at the next shootout and this time I will be racing. Indy

Sweet time to book the room.

[dd_man]

I was thinking and maybe this is a dumb idea, certainly not something I want part of but... would it be possibly to have some type of burnout competition for those people that just cannot resist doing burn outs in the hotel parking lot. Maybe give them a place at the track to do their burn outs? I hate when people do it at the hotel, because all I can think is that asshole could be by my car and if anything happens to my car I am going to have to kill them and my arrest is going to cut into my drinking time.

[ScottH]

Cant wait to make room reservations.

I had an idea for this upcoming years shootout. Having a dedicated thread for people who are in search of parts while at the shootout. They could leave a brief description of the part(s) there in need of and a immediate contact for them. I know for some it would help out a lot.

[sp00linbyu]

Awesome I will deff. be there. I had a blast this year and hopefully my car will be up and running next year. It should be but who knows things always break so maybe i will get lucky for next year. Can't wait.

[David Buschur]

bville187, now that's the positive talkin' I like to hear!! See you in Columbus this weekend.

As for the burnout contest, I have absolutely ZERO interest in doing anything like that.

It is my belief that organized Sport Compact racing has died simply because the people who were putting the races on did not know what they were doing. People go to the race track to watch racing, see their hero's, see what vendors have to offer, buy parts, meet with old friends and make new ones.

Burn out contests make racers wait in long lines in very hot fire proof suits and since I have been there many times I can tell you it sucks. Bikinin contests, jello pits, Xbox racing, some dude singing so loud nobody can talk are all things that I don't feel belong at the track. From the looks of NOPI and NHRA's Sport Compact Series I have been right for a long time about this.

My events are about racing and the other things I mentioned above. I am not going to have someone sweating his ass off waiting in line to make a pass for some clown to blow a tire in a burn out box.

As for the parts trading for the shootout, what exactly do you want? Something live for people to search during the race or a list of things they want before they make the drive?

I am open to suggestions, just don't be offended if I shoot them down.

Dave,

I was just thinking of a thread where people can post up their parts needs while at the shootout. I figure it'd benefit those looking for parts and those who are bringing parts to sell. I think it'd be a great way for the shops as well to keep an eye on as there might be a product needed that they can offer to someone in a pinch.

hey guys i'm looking for flywheel bolts for a 6bolt. I am located at American Inn room 110 or you can cell my cell at xxx-xxxx.

[ScottH]

Also wanted to add in my last post above. I agree with Dave's insight about the burnout competition. It was a HOT SOB out there Sunday. There is no way in hell i'd swet my balls off to watch someone waste their tires...
