So then you have to declare what you're doing if you're racing? By this I mean, if you say "fun runs," then you can't compete in a class? And if you compete in a class and get eliminated, then you're done for the day? I think it'd be cool to enter into "street-stock," but I'm not trying to lose after one race and have to be on the bench for the rest of the day.

you should have 2-3 qualify runs im sure you can get into line for braket if you lose

everyone seems tobe scared of getting beat and eliminated but isnt that sorta the whole point of racing risking that you might not win.

I'm gonna try to be there, it'd be fun to watch Steve rape the wheeze, hell I didn't even know he knew how to drive. :P

word, i did that on a sport compact challenge at woodburn once, eliminated on my first pass, but hey at least i got one more pass in

yep. im not racing cause i don't like calling my brother for a tow when he lives 2 hours away and i live 45 minutes from him. his 460 power crew cab drinks gas and i don't feel like bothering him for help these days.

I'm not racing to beat anyone, I want to beat the ET's I've got in the past. In the average drag strip situation, I could really care less about beating the guy next to me.

although u know its fun to beat the ricers lol

it was funny, last time i went down the track, i was against some black riced out integra (probably a GSR, he kinda kept up) and it was so funny, when i missed 3rd he started to catch back up to me. 3rd went it, hit the gas, and i immediately pulled away again lol

once you get beat in the "braket" racing cant you just run with the other people doing fun runs?

Figured I'd bump this up to see what everyone's status is. I'm getting pretty amped about Saturday, I hope I don't get disappointed.

my status:
-I got convinced by a buddy of mine to try and compete in a class, so I'm entering in "Street-Stock." It's for NA cars and requires that the motor be the one that comes with the chassis (so no swapped EH's). I'm not sure how it works when in a class, but I guess I'll find out Saturday. The only thing I'm worried about are people coming with drag slicks, 350z's, S2000's, GS400's, etc... oh and me ------- up on my driving or my car breaking somehow (I don't know why, but I get the feeling that my clutch is going to take a ---- soon).
-Since I'm going to be competing, I removed a good portion of my interior... stuff from behind the driver's seat to the rear. On a bathroom scale, it came out to like ~65 lbs, which is decent I think?
-My car will be in "loud mode," running an open 2.5" cat.
-Is anyone going to be video taping? It'd be cool to get some runs on camera and digital somehow, but I don't have a good camera.

...lets see what everyone is doing to get ready and what not!

Im bringing both my vid cams. I just need to find someone to video tape.
