Looking for opinions on a possible Steelcitystangs track day @ PRP

[Stangman701]

I would like to do the FLD style with working timing equipment. I think that would bring out the most people.

True Street is index racing. Trophies for; fast ET of the day and for 8.00 - 15.00 breaks.

The main difference from regular index racing; The Cars must be inspected and insured.
And no working on the cars is allowed after the cruise / index racing begins.

You could also give "best of show" trophies to add to the draw.

What you are talking about, is bracket racing.:)

I think true street would be the best show, but may take alot of people to pull it off. I have seen many true street races at the events we race at and they are just cool. Index racing would be my next pick, because you run cars that are in your time zone. Also need a car show side of it. I think we can pull it off if everyone comes and helps out.

i agree...FLD with the time equipment would be awesome!

I was thinking. The cruise is a good idea. Some will participate in it, others might not. Now, for the racing, I think some kind of heads up grudge racing would probably be best. That way, you can run as much as you want and not get eliminated. If you want to run your buddy, so be it. Win or lose, its going to be fun. In that case, I am not sure how to vote. A bbq is a good idea also. I would kick in some cash to help make it happen. Food isnt free or cheap.

X2 that be a blast

I think this would attract the most and be the most fun. Getting eliminated really blows. Especially with a day like this.

why not just some heads up racing?

[PaceFever79]

Heads up racing is mostly luck of the draw, and who has the baddest ride. Which is fine if
you can draw a field of bad rides. Otherwise it's just making TT passes for the majority of
the field. True Street/Index racing will draw more participants and have more competition
making the event enjoyed by more participants. You still have "Low ET of the day" for the
hot dogs to fight over even with True Street/Index racing. The Index classes are basically
heads up racing that's broken down into 1 second classes.

Yeah, like what I said.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Heads up class based racing would never work for many different reasons. While true street is an index based format, it does not share the same rules or draw the same cars as your typical index class. Having both classes would help the car car count IMO.

What about a ford vs gm showdown? I think some of us LSx boys want a shot at the ford boys here.

yes now we are talking!!!

Not if it's heads up/fun runs/grudge runs. It's not bracket racing unless there are dial ins.

[CobraII]

I like the idea of a car show with it. My Bird is defenately not set up for racing, unless there's some really slow pokes out there! LOL!!

Just my opinion, but everything should be taken down the track at least once. And if it's consistent, try it on a race day in Trophy or Street!

[CobraII]

I'm not surprised the bracket racing is at the bottom, even though I am a dyed in the wool bracket racer... as there are plenty of opportunities to bracket race throughout the season.

I voted for the True Street format. I think it would be awesome to see cars cruising up and down 22, then pull in and rip off a quick pass.

Index would be cool too, as would having a show/car cruise.

[PaceFever79]

Aren't "Showdowns" usually done in bracket racing format?

[GOT SVT]

true street

True street Ford vs GM heads up.
