I definitely agree with the bold part. I just want to get out there and have fun and help push someone so they can also put on a good performance as well. It always helps to have some friendly competition so you have something to strive for if that makes any sense.

This will be at Royal Purple Raceway which is in Baytown and formerly known as Houston Raceway Park (new sponsor now).

Jan 8th is going to be the date which is a Saturday. I don't know exact times yet.

As far as the autocross section, it will be a similar layout to an event that houscca runs I believe. I found a site that has some layouts but I haven't ever watched any of them http://houscca.com/solo/courses.php

Don't let stuff like that get to you, just be the better forum that doesn't resort to such things.

The time constraints are tought. Why are these shows announced with no leadtime? We just got some interest from the Tuner Shootout program that was announced for February and we're supposed to be ready for that too.

I haven't read the rules yet, but are multiple drivers allowed for the different events? I'd love to wheel a 350/370Z around the road course. I'm willing to drive, and I'll cover my expenses to get there.

Sharif has my vote.

Not sure if you are trying to bash members at the 370z forum or not.

Either way, I have been trying to find someone who is a 370z owner and would like to represent the forum (the 370z . com), but not a lot of owners in Houston seem to care for anything like this. Especially after what they saw last year.

I have submitted for registration also. I have no experience drag racing, but have run at MSR several times, so that may help a bit...

I think they have a 140 rating on the tires, my Toyo R888 are 100s, so that may be an issue.

no bash or hating. Just funny how some of those guys make statements without doing their full research about what happened last year lol

Did anyone get nominated for this event? I was disappointed in last seasons forum wars. I wish I would have known about this before. I would have covered my own expenses if I were to be picked for this. I am still available for this event if no one has been selected.
