agreed.

there's a lot of fast cars on the org I've seen, and a lot I haven't. Everyone's setup seems to change every year.. its nice to get together for a race and check out how everyone's cars have evolved and gotten faster.

and I doubt I'll be driving the skwirl to the event this year.. if I do, I'm definitely having a truck and a trailer coming along as well in case I break it there to get it home.

a lot more power this year.. much greater chance of breaking something.
x2 I can't wait to see how this all goes down...

I vote all out run what ya brung. If I want to bring my 2200 with bolt on and race I will. Will I get beat? Signs point to yes. Who ever wants to come, can come. Are there cars on this site that would spank the rest? Yes, but it's a cool concept to get the fastest cars in one place to race. HRC can show up and they've got the power does that mean they won't have issues that day allowing someone else to win. This is for bragging rights for a year(ish). If you got the balls to show up and race why not race against the fastest.

If this happens(and i hope it does) i'll be there(not racing the $#@!box 2200) with the camera and videocamera to document.

My 2 cents

Re: 09 drag racing shootout???

OK guys here a little lite reading for you to mull over....

-Last years Tuner Bash was won by 3800 S/C as stated earlier.
-This years Q8 eliminations is looking to have a bump spot (#16 position) of approximately 12.90 seconds AT WORST.
-I know of 4, yes FOUR, J-BODIES that are showing up and will, for sure, be running in the 11s already.
-Besides those 4, there are 3 others going for the 11s, myself included.
-I can list off 6 OTHER Js going for deep 12s (12.30 or lower) off the top of my head.
-I know of at least 3 12 second Cobalts that will be attending.
-I know of at least 2 12 second capable Solstices that should be there.

Let's do the math together shall we...
4 Js IN the 11s
+ 3 others aiming for 11s
+ 6 going for low 12s
+ 3 12 sec Cobalts
+ 2 12 second Solstices
=
18 cars already for a 16 car field. 13 of those are Js. Those same 13 cars would presumably be at this event too, making it a repeat event except for breakage issues. That is why I would like a bracket race, but I understand why others don't.


Here's what I'm thinking for awards for this event, so gimme some feedback...
Bracket Race with 32 or 64 cars: $500 cash and trophies for top 8.
Heads-Up Race with a 32 car starting field: Trophies for top 3 guaranteed with a possible cash prize.

Are you talking about 07 bash? My friend Devon didn't come in first, he came in 3rd he said. In the 06 bash he came in 2nd.

Can't wait to add my car to the mix FINALLY this year.

Are you talking about doing both of those options?, or just one of them?

I know this, I just didn't want to say it out loud


John: I'm already doing both at the bash, so I'm only going to provide awards for one at this event, unless I can find someone else to help with the funding. I'll have to see what kind of price I can get from the track. If they'll go low enough I may just charge like $10 to get into the contest and use 50% of that as an award or something. We'll see.

I have been thinking on all of this alot since seeing this post. I like the idea of LD9 vs. Ecotec, I like the idea of jbody all out racing. I also like bracket racing as well. I think if we could combine it all in one event it would be great. Why not have everything at the Bash. Have a LD9 vs Ecotec, have JBody all out, and then have a GM all out, and then bracket for all the slower people.

Yes you could do that. Thing is with the LD9 vs. Ecotec is if it will only be 1 of each fighting for that title. If you have a true LD9 vs. Ecotec you can have a tally of how many Ecotec wins there was and how many LD9 wins there was.

Because 1 bracket race with a 64 car field takes a lot of time. We simply don't have the time to run 4 events unless we completely rent out the track, which we aren't doing if I remember right. Quick 8 and bracket is enough for the bash. If you do a J-Body race then the Kappas will want a race and so will the Deltas. It all just spirals from there.

I agree we would need the track to ourselves to do it like I mentioned. For some reason I thought the track was ours for the day on the Bash. As for the other cars wanting the same. Well they have not said it, and the Bash was started as a JBody event, so the J's should always have something special for them. Same thing we do in FL for the annual meet. We allow other GM sportcompacts to come, but we have some things for J's only.

Correct the JBODY BASH was a JBody event but this is the GM TUNER BASH now. Different people running them and 2 different events. You can't have something specials for the Js just because they were there first. That just leads to bitching and we don't need any more of that. PERIOD. That's why I'm still trying to keep the TVR Shootout going as a J only thing.

If I remember what Paul told me correctly, the price to rent the track out would have raised the admission price too high to be reasonable to most people. We want a huge turnout, so if we have to share the track, so be it. Maybe if we get enough people to buy their entries ahead of time we could rent the track, but as of now we aren't IIRC.
