Ed, the 20th is actually a scheduled race day. The Motorworks, Dominic Race Car Fabrication, and the Starting Line Cafe are all presenting both days that weekend for the regular racing.

I think it's very cool to have the Laurel Mountain Shootout on a raceday. I'd like to get to see a nice turnout and see the ponies run. What are the classes? And are they open to any Mustang? Some of the points regulars who aren't on here might be interested if they're eligible.

My bad. I didn't know there were any scheduled race days on a sunday midseason. If it's non points day then normal turnout will be light and that is good for a Mustang event time wise.

**gmkillr** · 07-10-2008, 03:29 AM

So this will be bracket racing?
If so I might not be in as I hate bracket racing!

**CobraII** · 07-10-2008, 01:26 PM

Ed, we're points both days, the start of 9 points days in 6 weekends. Time to make a move!

**MBH** · 07-10-2008, 01:49 PM

Crap. I'm not going to be able to make it for this because now I have to go to Cleveland that weekend.

rabble rabble rabble. Have a great time guys & be safe!

**Sonic03snake** · 07-15-2008, 03:07 PM

I thing we may have a test n tune only class worked out too, ill let everyone know later today. We really need to show a strong presence for this event, it could lead to bigger, better all Ford events if it all works out.

**Ares** · 07-15-2008, 06:17 PM

Taps foot.....Lou we there yet?

how bout now?

now?

**Sonic03snake** · 07-15-2008, 11:04 PM

Waiting on a return call, ill post up tomorrow.

**CobraII** · 07-17-2008, 12:37 AM

I talked to Mark Brewer from the Motorworks tonight, and he told me there will be 2 classes, 1 no electronics (transbrakes, delay boxes not allowed), and 1 electronics (transbrakes and delay boxes ok). $25 entry, each class is paying out $400 to win, $100 runner up, open to only Fords, any Ford. That's way cool, hope a lotof cars come out.

Also, thanks to the Motorworks, Dominc Race Car Fabrication, and the Starting Line Racing Cafe, they're doing something really cool. Since there is regular racing both days, the sponsors are going to give $300 to the racer who scores the most elimination round wins over the 2 days, and $50 to the second most, in EACH Top, Modified, and Street. Winners are excluded, as the intent is to reward racers who had a good weekend, but didn't get the big payout.

**Rio94gt** · 07-17-2008, 05:01 PM

Sounds good. Any idea what time the track is going to open and such?

**CobraII** · 07-17-2008, 05:21 PM

I'll post the other classes entry fees and payouts too, just in case anyone wanted to double class. I'm hoping to see a bunch of cool cars come out.

Gates are open at 9, junior dragsters time trials start at 9:30 I think. The track tries to get 2 rounds of the juniors done before starting the big car portion of the program. Time trials for the big cars start at 1pm. I haven't heard what the run order will be. The normal run order for big cars is Modified (13.99 and quicker, transbrakes allowed, $40 entry, $1000 to win, $350 runner up, $20 round money starting with second round win), Top (11.99 and quicker, electronics allowed, $40 entry, $1000 to win, $350 runner up, $20 round money starting with second round win), Motorcycle ($30 entry, $250 to win, $100 runner up, I think), Street (12.00 and slower, no electronics, slicks ok, open header ok, $30 entry, $350 to win, $150 runner up, $15 round money starting with second round win), Trophy (12.00 and slower, $20 entry, winner gets a trophy, runner up gets a small trophy or a plaque, no slicks, no open headers, no electronics).

**Rio94gt** · 07-17-2008, 05:24 PM

Those classes you posted now do not include the all ford class right?

**gmkillr** · 07-17-2008, 05:57 PM

No t&t class?
I don't want to bracket race, or win money or anything like that. I just want to pay a minimal fee ($20) and make maybe 3 passes.

**Sonic03snake** · 07-17-2008, 06:23 PM

No test n tune this time but they have expressed interest in an all ford test n tune day or two. Like I said, we have to show up in numbers to show the potential success of an all ford day by it's self.

**Ares** · 07-17-2008, 06:27 PM

I'd say run Trophy for $20 if they don't have a tnt or just pay the $25 and run Ford No Box. Always 2 times runs before eliminations unless like a trillion cars decide to oil down track. The program on race days runs very fast and there is little down time.

I know I am out to put a hurt'n to that tree and go some rounds this weekend. I may run mod/street saterday and street/Ford No box sunday.

**Rio94gt** · 07-17-2008, 06:33 PM

Guess ill be running Ford No box.

Oh you know I will

Gonna swap front springs to 14"x150# as that is what Kevin at Baseline suggested(he said the 175# springs are too stiff). See if I can get some better wheels off the ground moments and plant the slicks a whee bit harder.
