October might be GS Nats again 2019. I would like to attend in November because any sooner we would all die from heat stroke. Early November as mentioned because time off around thanksgiving for normal civilians is hard. 2 day event would be best. Is that track relaxed about no cage since it’s private rental? Asking for a friend

Yes it is. It Has to be for my sake

Also, would have to be at LEAST 40-50 cars that would actually run to be fun.

Only way to get that is Buick vs Ford event which I like

I get paranoid enough driving next to a mustang on the freeway, couldn’t imagine racing one

No roll bar is a concern for many of us. With BG, Halloween and my TB swap meet all in Oct, it might be tight to slot a big event in and get good turn out. I think the only thing we have in Nov is Thanksgiving.

The roll bar/cage rules will be the determining factor for many. I have neither at the moment, which could change soon after running what I did in BG.

Folks,

I've been to many track rentals at Tucson. Let me break it down for you.

You fill out a tech card given to you by the guy that collects your money. You put the number on the card on your car. Then you go hand the completed card to the guy at the starting line. That guy gives you a driver wrist band. Then you go get in your car and go racing. Simple as that.

So when I get this setup do you guys just want to do Test and Tune or you want to try to some class racing or index or....

I'd say most people here could use the T@T. I'll do either.

 

[Boost231]

Maybe some test and tune day 1 and some racing day 2?

I would go mostly for the test and tune and camaraderie.

 

[TurboTGuy]

^^^^^ Day one, T&T.

Day 2, some bracket or class racing, but definitely lots of grudge/money racing.

Refine it as time goes on and the car counts get bigger, phasing the grudge racing into class racing, helping to make everybody competitive in one segment or another.

Sarcasm on.......

Sarcasm off.........

 

[TurboTGuy]

Even if you do index or class racing on the second day, we can do T&T in between. The guys at the starting line are there to move cars along, they don't care who is running down the track as long as they are told what's going on.

 

[Boost231]

Maybe index racing. I'll be in for the 11.50 class

You could do index for quarter mile and eighth mile, may bring more people in the door. 6.0 , 6.5, 7.0 , 7.5 index for eighth mile. 9.0 , 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0 for quarter mile.
Index keeps from having rules for multiple classes and still keeps a fast car from gapping a much slower car which is no fun at all.
I have been lined up with 2 7 second cars locally at 2 different events ....
I ran 9.809 @ 137.5 and was passed by a car doing 176! Zero chance , out in the first round.
