Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Anyone going to be doing any circle track this year? Season opener for spectators is 4/12/08 for Elko & 4/27/08 for Raceway.

We should get a shitload of style members to make a showing. I know most will be gone on the 12th but I will be there running on the 27th @ raceway park.

Get your asses out there and show those domestics what you can do!

Best $5 ever

After seeing some nice cars get put into the wall intentionally by some old piece of shit F-bodys because they were losing, I'll pass.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Come on pussy ;) if you can launch worth a damn they wont be able to catch you to hit you.

Actually the asshat primer black 79 Camaro that would ram you if he was loosing isn't allowed to run at either track anymore.

Last 2 years the champion was a modded 1Gb Laser AWD

Looks like I'm going to have to represent the Mitsu's on my own :(

Oh well, I'm sure I'll have plenty of video footage.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

i was debating on this, thought about entering the 1g but its like what Matt D says... wouldn't want to get bashed in the wall or anything.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

If the guy is running you to close for comfort just back off the throttle & let them pass.

I've run out there off and on for the past 5 years and never been hit. Most guys will run you clean.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

yeah i suppose, im might try this then this year.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Hope you make it out.

The secret to winning at raceway is a good launch. If you can pull a couple of car lengths from the start and hold them through turn two your opponent will most likely panic and drive it way to hard into 3 and 4 to try and catch you.

Works damn near every time

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

lol nice, got a pretty good launch in the talon. its almost unfair ;)

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Weather says 48* and cloudy. Good boostin' weather!

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Galant FTW ;)

You guy's should have shown, I could've used some competition.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

What you'll be saying sooner or later. :biggrin:

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Meh, They have to catch me first ;)

Everybody but Sellner will run you clean. All the cars there were in good shape & DD's. They are alot more picky on who and what they let run nowadays.

After 5+ years of running there I'm not to worried about it. Then again I don't drive a 30K dollar car

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Going again this Saturday, this time @ Elko. Should be a couple of TCS people out also.

Hopefully I'll be able to bring home 1st place at Elko then it's back to Raceway on Monday where I know I can spank the competetion.

Hopefully my camera man will make it out this time.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Is this place down by valley fair? If so I'll probably be there this monday with a buddy of mine whos racing.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

its 35 south isnt it for ELKO... cant remember were RACEWAY is..

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Elko is straight down 35W south, Raceway is in Shakopee across 101 from ValleyFair.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

Howd Saturday turn out? I was thinking about going, but couldn't justify paying $30 to get into the pits. Hopefully the car count was good and you spanked a couple guys.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

It was freakin' insane!
AWD pwned all at that event ;)

I got plenty of video that will be going up on Youtube Tuesday.

Re: Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)
 

This isn't super relative, but I went to canabery (sp) raceway today and my buddy took third in the v8 enduro
