Thunder Road 1st Bracket Race

[caddobass]

The 1st Bracket race will be held on the 13th of June with a 50% pay-out.

[cainsw]

I will be there.


I will also more than likely kill this site as no one uses it anymore

[leadfoot]

I'd like to see it stay up. Maybe when we start racing again, things will get better. I notice ya'll sure do jabber mouth on LS1tech.

I hope we can resurrect EFI racing on Friday nights. Saturday day and night racing, which is what always happens, just ain't my thing!

I sure do miss the old days, but what the heck, I am old!

[caddobass]

yeah, let's not drop the site yet. I'm with Bob on that one and old too.

[philreif]

I generally check this site everyday. Don't kill it yet.
As for the 13th, I am going on a cruise the 14th, so will be packing and getting ready to go so can't make it.

I want to make it clear that the bracket race's are the track race, not our EFI Race events. The track will be running Super Pro $60 and Non-Elect $40 with 50% pay-out. We have not talked with track about EFI Racing at all, with them just opening I am just going to run in the non-elect class and support the track for now.
For the one's that missed saturday's grand opening they sold 593 tech cards and alot of people in the stands.

Wayne, sounds like a big crowd, and lots of complaints, already. Sounds familiar? ;D I wish you'd talk to them after the new wears off, about some Friday night street bracket racing.

I might put up a little sponsor money, if it could be arranged. The Saturday racing just isn't good for me.

Anyway, keep us advised.

Bob, I will talk with them about a Friday Nite Street Bracket Race real soon. You know there will always be complaints, the track was overwhelmed with the alot of tech cards that they sold (593) and the timing system took a crap. They were trying alot of new idea's grouping street tire cars & cars with slicks, pro tree & handicap tree. The number of street cars trying to hot lap just overwhelmed the stage area. I'm sure things will get better.

Wayne, splain that Street thing again. Can quicker than 13.00 run, can we run cutouts, DR's, DOT's, etc., etc?

Street's my thing, if it matches what I got!

[caddobass]

I will check this out in the morning, Bob.

[leadfoot]

I just found out that they've got a forum up. Just registered. I sure am having serious racing withdrawal!!

[cainsw]

I will go give the N/E a $40 shot tomorrow. Who's going with me?

[leadfoot]

Can't make it this time, but it ain't cause I don't want to!

[caddobass]

I'm in Chris, but if the car don't get in the 12's I may have to run Street ;D

[caddobass]

Everyone missed a great chance to walk away with a pocket full of money last night in the Street Bracket race. The track put up a $500 purse and I was the only Street car there, They also had a dailing for dollars in Street. $10 to enter with 1/2 pay back.

[cainsw]

We will have some racers show up next time with a guarantee purse. I bet they end up killing off the street class because they will never get any support there. I don't understand why people that are new to the sport don't want to give bracket racing a shot. I can tell you, I hated it the first 3-4 times I tried it but once I got a few round wins under my belt I was hooked.

[leadfoot]

I hate to hear that. I wish I could get out. I don't understand why people won't bracket race. Oh well..............
