I pasted the "news release" onto the home page of this site, and we'll have a link to their site installed in the "LSR Events" box (upper left side of the home page) any day.

Best wishes to this event and the sanctioning body, organisers, and most of all -- the participants.

If you need a starting crew its a no go.  That rules out a lot.

[Dean Los Angeles]

Not only no push starts, but you have to drive back to the pits.

[ol38y]

You have to have at least 20* steering each way and brakes on both wheels. That will rule out quite a few people as well. It sounded good anyway. 

[isiahstites]

Lets not forget CE armour for anyone going over 190 mph.

[desotoman]

For cars you need to have 4 wheel brakes and suspension on all 4 wheels, no push starts, no external starters.    My Roadsters are out. Sounds like they don't want spectators, so I am out.  Does not sound like the type of event that I would enjoy, but I wish them luck.

I was thinking its a place where my sidecar won't come home full of dirt or salt.  Oh well,  Suckin' dust is not that bad.

[Larry C]

Well, I will be in Daytona so Bob will need another rider, but they are specific about two wheeled motorcycles, are sidecars out? Actually we are out because we need a remote starter and support rig to start. Sounds like a cool event and should get a good turn out of vehicles.

all of the scta cars dont have a big enough roll cage   ---requires 1 3/4 dia.----all bikes require front and rear brakes and suspension ---no sidecars ----------------isiah stites may be the only one there ---that is if he has the right tires ----if anyone plans on going i would read the rules a couple of times     willie buchta

[Nortonist 592]

No sidecars?   What is it?  A dark side meet?

Not looking likely Willie.............I do not have CE armour in my leathers and I am not sure if I want to pay for them to be changed.

It does sound like an awesome event that is being put on and I hope that they do well.

I think i'll save my money and go to goliad next year lol. It will probably take them a couple of years to get everything sorted out and running smoothly.

Not sure if I will run this event with the truck (might do it in a car), but:

From reading the rules, I think this event is mostly likely intended for late model cars and bikes.  If you believe you must have a rollcage to go 190 mph in a stock 2010 Corvette on flat asphalt with no trees or other cars, then it's not for you.  That's OK.  It doesn't make it evil, nor an event for daredevils only.

1 5/8" tube is permitted if it's NHRA cage spec (NHRA requires 1.75 for rollbar).  And they state if you believe your rollover system is adequate, they will evaluate on a case-by-case basis. 

No, it's not a replacement for SCTA events.  Nor are SCTA events targeted for late model street cars.

Totally different animal.  Short course, asphalt, aimed at street cars/bikes.

It looks like they will accept some "off the rack" racing leathers with stretch panels. You can find deals on good one piece suits with all the armour, if you shop around.
