i know this is easier said than done .. but they should try to organize 3 or 4 locations for an event like this on different corners of the country so it will be relatively easy for everyone to get there with their cars ...

i mean .. how is anyone on the west coast supposed to get to michigan with their cars ?

I know that Chris and Jason have tried many times to do something like this. As this is the first event it makes sense to have3 it close to "home" for them so they can get an event under their belt. It would not suprise me to see some regional activity down the road but right now this the first of its kind and these guys are putting forth a lot of effort to get it off the ground. I'm sure they are open to any positive suggestions or for volunteer help.

Yeah as crazy as some of our Michigan guys are, a trip to the west coast could easily be done just for a weekend of racing and BS'ing. I'm glad i'm "local" to this event cough130milescough but if I was furthur away i'd still at least try to get here. later man

I'm hoping to have my car finished at least a week before so I can test and tune prior to race. Depends if I will be able to race in the event or not? I asked a few people but have yet to hear anything back. Would really like to run the race against the others but I pretty sure everybody would have a problem with the car. The car will not conform to stock suspension rules but will run a modified OEM LT1 engine. I just hope ARE finishes the engine soon I think they maybe having a problem with the combination or what not?

Hey Taner ...That is Minor compared to the trip you made down here....what???? 8 hours????

thanks 94!!! yes sit is merely a stone's throw away in comparison, i am thinking about the southern shootout this year even, but that is almost 30 hours away! holy sheeeeeeeit!
i am sure the low 9/high 8 sec gn will be there as well as the nova that won m7 last year. he was sandbagging and ran a 9.8 on his last run. i hope he is bringing more than that this year.

ROTFL
Taner certainly knows how to have a good time.
I'd like to compete in the quick 16 but I think the field
will be filled with 9/10 second cars and that leaves me
out.

From what I've been seeing lately, I think it's gonna take a 9 second pass to qualify. I plan on being there.

Thumbs up

i thought it was gonna be like that last year.....errrr ummmm no ahh ahh. there was a couple of 9 second rides at the m7 event. 11's got you into the quick 16 grouping. i would guess half the field will be 9's or better.

Joe racer,
be sure to stop by and have a cold beer or pop. pop during event and lots of beer after


kurtis,

are you flying in by chance or let me guess you are trailering your car down!

i do look forward to this event! any chance it will below 75 degrees and not humid, lmao!!!!! j/k! late july in michigan = hot humid weather. i guess it beats the freezing cold. unfortunately my motor likes it colder out.

Taner,

Ugh, I wish I was trailering or even flying down. Can't really say why I asked, though maybe I can give more info soon. Sadly flying out is out of the question, as I'm expecting my newborn Son only a week before this event date.

I'll probably be flying to Thunder's race in November if I don't bring down one or both of my cars. (Stacker trailers are nice ).
