It sure would be nice to have some of the really fast cars show up, like John Schmidt, Superdog, Cotton, etc. If we can't swing some of those guys, we're gonna be in for a beating.

I believe that John Schmidt will be here, Jerry Chambers will definitely be here and he has more than one fast car and Jack has been here one time but I don't expect him to be here.

Big holes I see are the Dallas and Houston area people that usually come.

I'll talk to DW and see who he has talked to about this.

 

[Black Power]

what about the Category 6 guy? Seems like he was hoping to come back, but I haven't talked to him in a few years.

I'll try to rustle up some more guys from TX but it'll be mainly street cars if anything. The only really nasty one from around here is Bones. He hit the dyno the other day and put down over 1500 rwhp but didn't get to turn it up past 25 psi. Made a pass last weekend and blew an oil pressure line and sprayed oil all over the engine and turbo. Thankfully he didn't wreck or catch on fire, and he acted like the engine was ok. If his is sorted out he should be in the 8s very easily.

It would/does suck to get killed in top 10 but if we dominate the rest we can still win the event. We have done it before.

 

[six is enough]

What is considered a fast car for this event?

8.65 at 160 would certainly be fast!!! I guess the fastest I've seen from either side so far was Schmidt's Opal and Mike G's Mustang, they both went high 7s.

We are gonna need a lot of 11 and 12 second cars to show up in that case. Hopefully there are a lot more people planning on coming than what we know of. Either way, I ain't worried. I'm gonna come and get a W either way.

 

[Quik Six]

If I remember correctly, we didn't have several of our "fast" cars as there was a big money event in Tulsa because it was supposed to be the final race at that track and several of our guys went there for that. Turned out the track was sold to a new owner but it was leased back to the former owner/operator.

We need to have a lot of cars on our side at all levels.

Don't forget some of us San Antonio, TX boys. Sorry will be up there with some fast mustangs joining are buddy 8URV8 (he has the Buick).

 

[fast86gn]

We have a 10 sec Stang (LSPBC member) coming as well but I told him he would have to run for the Buick side!

 

[QwikStop]

Will the race go on no matter what or do we have to have a certain amount of entries on each side?

It's been my experience that yes the race will happen no matter the car count. If the Buick side only has 50 entries and the ford guys have 75, then 25 Fords are SOL. They would end up racing each other at the end for fun. And if they have that many more cars than we do we'll probably get killed.

The race is scheduled, track rental is paid and event is being run by Team Ford. Weather could shut it down. There is no minimum/maximum limit of participants required for the event to occur. Average number of actual races for the last 5 years was 84.

Team Buick racers show up and Team Ford guys show up. Each racer runs qualifying times and their best time is listed on a "race ladder" in descending order. They are paired up against the matching member on the other team based on their position, #1 qualifier races #1 qualifier and on down the the list until there is no longer an opponent on one team or the other. The actual races are run in reverse order of their place, slower cars race first.

Qualifiers who break or decide not to race are encouraged to notify the tower so the ladder can be adjusted so every race has two opponents.

Hope this answers your questions and that you come to the event.

About 7 weeks away guys and gals. Just wanted to let you all know of a few very small changes. There will not be any golf cart rental as of this time. One less thing I really want to worry about. Anyone interested in renting one for the day may contact ABC golf carts 317 S. Main St. Noble, OK 73068, 405-872-5671 or as always, feel free to bring your own toys to the track. Also, the flyer is finished and is starting to be distributed. Not near as much info on this flyer, but I figured with the advance in internet technology, people should have no problem finding the track or hotels. Special thanks to Stephanie Johnson for creating the flyer. Added turbobuick.com to flyer in thanks to them making this event a sticky. Hope that is ok with this site's administration.
