The 2007 Gathering Drag Racing Info Thread

[guinnessdood]

Since we are definitely having the Drag Racing on May 2nd, Wednesday afternoon at Beech Bend I though it would be helpful to start this thread....

Here is a great link to what can be expected at the drag races. I kow this is specific to LVMS (Las Vegas) but the basics are all the same...this is excellent reading especially if you have never drag raced before...

If you have additional drag racing information be it general to drag racing or specific to Beech Bend...please post in this thread. Thanks!

Notice to all who WANT to Drag Race on Wednesday, 2 May 2007 at Beech Bend: To date we have had $350 committed towards the event. If we fail to raise enough funds to cover at least 50% of the track rental ($2000 for 1/2 day) so $1000....we will be forced to scrap the Drag Racing. If you plan on Drag Racing you can sign up ahead of time for the drag racing here...http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1registrystore/ (The ZR-1 Net Registry Member Store)...the cost is $50 per driver.

Geez, that's only 7 people!

Not to be a jerk, but can we have some kind of drop dead date for you all to reach the 50% point? I just want to have enough time to change my plans and hotel reservation and such. I don't want to get there on Tuesday if nothing is happening until Thursday or Friday.

Hopefully though we'll get a lot more people, as the drag racing sounds like the most fun part of the event.

Pitiful people.

I'll sign up and drive Dwights car or Kmoudys.

I paid for 2 and I might not even drive mine. come on folks.

[guinnessdood]

I won't have my car either..and I signed up...c'mon fellas lets get with it!

[rkreigh]

folks, I'm going for it. we ARE RACING, period. even if this is the most expensive race of my life we ARE DRAG RACING

the deposit is down, several have stepped up and even if we get a handful and I have to sponsor out of my pocket we are going to race.

as president I made a committment that there would be racing and that is exactly what we're going to do unless it's a rain out.

so, my plea is this, help a poor prez out, I'm not a rich man, but my word is worth more than gold, so we are going to race.

as stated, I'd like to see a full 40 folks @ $50 each.

I KNOW there are alot of folks that haven't taken the time. I am calling U out. sign up. even if you don't sign up, SHOW UP and pay the $50 at the gate.

otherwise, my mod money is going to sponsor the group.

be there!!

Ok, we're $50 closer now....and even though I want to save more $$ for mods, I'll do another $50 if I have to...let's git er done.

Since you gotta put up with me for a while, you can beat on mine for a few passes...just don't make my timeslips look too bad.
