Thought on Standing 1/2 mile Test n Tune
« on: February 10, 2013, 10:24:01 PM »
If there was a 8hr standing 1/2 mile LSR testing session in NC on Easter Saturday, would you go? If not, would you go if it was 2 weeks earlier? I'm working on trying to get a test session, and would prefer the end of March instead of the middle, but the opening at the venue are limited. What are your thoughts?

Rockingham, between $75 and $100 looks like, still trying to iron it all out.

If the car is ready!!!!

More info please.   Who is running it?  Where in Rockinham? Airport? The Drag Strip?

Can non-LSR types show up too? (street cars)

I know a few late model GENIII Hemi's that would be interested.

Is this a sanctioned T&T?  i.e whom is running tech?

Plm, I quessing the drag strip, and doubt it's "sanctioned" just sounds like a test and tune like at you local drag strip only at 1/2 mile.

I'll be running it
Rockingham Dragway more than likely

Yes non-lsr cars will be allowed, more than likely it will be fully prepped through 1/4mile, nothing after.

It will not be sanctioned, there will be no records.  We're working on finding 1/2 mile timing system now.  But its more designed to help you get the bugs out before you hit the big time!

Tech is to be determined.  More than likely, more than lax dragstrip tech(I care about most of you) but not as much as ECTA.  This will be dependent on what the track insurance comes back with.

More trying to determine which date works the best at this point

(I care about most of you) :-D
That is funny as shit!!!

I live in Winston Salem. I am Interested. If the car is ready!

I have been to Rockingham for a T&T before. The last time was a goat rope. Supra into the wall, big time clean up (not to happy with the clean up at the startline, that is where the problem started). Oh well.

Who is greenjunk, what is your background in doing a event, do you have insurence, emergency eouipment on stand by, local permits etc. There can be a lot more to put on a event required. Just wondering. Good luck. BTW way go to your profile and fill in the city & state where you live.

Its at a Dragstrip, they have insurance, and emergency.  I have run timing, tech inspection, starting line, registration in standing mile events for 6 years.  I also have several experienced volunteers to help with the process already on board.

In order for this to be feasible we would need at least 30 entrants at $75-$100 a piece.  We're waiting on final word on insurance and i will post up everything else.

Glen he is on the up and up.  :-)

It would be nice to do some low speed chute deployments.  (80, 100, 125, so for and so on). I do not like surprizes.  :|

i'll start asking around. 30 cars/bikes.  What is the max number?

Okey-dokey, Mr. David M.  I'll ask -- just where's your home location?  I will be happy to fill in the location blank on your registration profile -- and will even put in the correct information for you -- if you're willing to share it with me.  otherwise -- well, maybe I'll just move you to Herniated Rectum or some town like that.  Your move. . .
