Sport compact nationals this weekend at bandimere.

Check here for all the info on racing this weekend at bandimere speedway. There are only two of these a year here and the second one usually gets rained out. Great time for all to be had.

You don't have to register. The gates open at 9 am on sunday and usually this event is only open to the first 500 racers. I like to get there early because there is always a @!#$load of cars there and I want to make sure I get to race. I will be there around 7:00 am. I know that is like 2 hours early but I always like to detail my car for these events and that gives me time to do it there rather than do the detail and then drive there and detail some more. I am probably going to go by a couple of those tent type things that I can park my car under (they are only like 15 bucks at Big Lots) so me and my car can stay out of the sun and I don't get my spot jacked while I am racing. The difference between this event and the other races at bandimere is that this one always has tons of punk kids that don't understand the common courtesies that all of us regular folks were taught. Last weekend my car had both dors and the trunk open during the car show and I wasn't near my car most of the day because I know that people respected my car as much as I respected others cars. I can't put that much trust into the crowd that will be there this weekend. I will leave my car be itself but definetely not unlocked and open.

On the upside there will be a bikini contest that is good everytime I see it and worth bringing at least a camera for.

You are guaranteed three runs. Two time trials and one eliminations run. From there you just try to send as many people home as possible. Don't get to dissapointed if you don't run the times you expect either. Gotta remember altitude robs hp and we are at 5800 feet. just subtract between 1 and 1.3 seconds off your time from what I have heard and that should be your sea level time. I run a best of 17.5. hopefully a little more this weekend if I get a new toy. but I don't know if I will get it or not.

It looks as though it will be cancelled early because of the rain so I am not going to spend the $35.

so if this is going to be canceled, why dont we just skip this event all together and meet up in the springs in the later afternoon for a little meet & possible cruise? [maybe grab some grub too!]

I really didnt talk to any of the racers, just the guys in the car show. But I had fun even though I had my hands full taking pictures, handing out flyers and having one of my dogs there.

Here are the pics: NHRA Sony Xplod Stylefest
