For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

Just a quick note to those of you racing, and those of you *thinking* of racing, at SCR8...some rough guidelines, but PLEASE speak up if you have any questions or suggestions...

* helmet (must have for cars 13.99 or quicker, but a good idea for EVERYONE...13.99 is tougher than it sounds, so you can still have a LOT of fun without needing a helmet, and if you do start going below 13.99, we could probably find a helmet to lend ya!)
* catch can (we can zip-tie a can for a temporary fix if needed, or you can grab a piece of long rubber hose and route it to your washer bottle)
* dual throttle return springs (easy and cheap to get at parts store)
* make sure your battery is secure
* all wheel studs must be present and lugnuts tight (don't laugh, I've seen it happen)
* no open toed shoes (no sandals), must have long pants (no shorts), minimum short sleeve shirt (no tank tops or cutoff shirts)
* must have working seatbelts
* no passengers quicker than 13.99

Basically the racing portion of the reunion is reserved for the supercars. This will be the only time most owners of these rare cars will chance a pass down the 1/4 mile, so we want to do our best to provide a safe and friendly enviroment in hopes a large number of supercars will participate.

In the past several club members have made passes in non-supercars, which has not created a problem. In fact, got to see some pretty cool cars go down the track. We encourage everyone to make the trek to the track on Friday in their musclecar, even if just to show and spectate.

So, non-supercars will be unable to race ?

Well...there goes my match race with Charley! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

My guess would be that non-supercars will have a chance to make a pass or 2, but if 500 non-supercars show up to race, the supercars will have preference, as it IS the Supercar Reunion... Rob could probably clear this up, but I have never really seen any problems with non-supercars "taking over" the race portion of the show... now those Deuces on the other hand.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

I was suprised to see that non super cars will not be allowed to make runs this year I thought last year was quite a break through , In fact I was hoping to match race my daughter, my 68 RT verus her 69 Road Runner that I brought over last year, I guess if we cannot we can at least come and watch. She'd just dust the old man off anyway....

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

Larry, guess I did not explain myself well. Sorry. As in the past, non-supercars will be allowed to run, especially vintage iron such as yours. We want all club members to bring their muslcecar and participate, we are just trying to avoid Friday turning into an open track day for every race car in the greater St. Louis area. As Camarojoe said, the supercars will get preference (such as the Deuce shootout), but with 7-8 hours of track time available, should be more then enough for everyone. Will, maybe not Shor, Dru and Pete. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

I re-read that first post, and it did read a little funky...Larry, and Steven, and Bruce, and the rest of you knuckleheads come on out Friday! That's the way it was in the past, and I don't foresee it being any different in the future! I know Rusty and some of the other Pure Stock guys are planning on being there as well, so there should be enough racing (and BS'ing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif) for EVERYONE!

We just have to be careful so we don't have every drag car in the tri-state area show up looking for a cheap test'n'tune and you sYc members and extended family/friends get slighted on track time...

I had Erik Barr tape the runs with my personal video camera https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I have Phil's citrus deuce run, Hasset's orange deuce run, Swezey's Harrell Camaro run, Charlies, SuperSnake run, Tom's funny car runs, a 'few' of Shor's, Gerling's, and Albert's. Also, have all the cars coming into the convention center - priceless video https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Do any of you guys remember the video Mark Hassett Jr. made last year and posted shortly after returning from Collinsville? It was very cool with some great racing footage... I have it saved on my hard drive but I'm not sure if i know how to link it... Anyone else here save that?

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

Speaking of videos, during SCR8 we will have a moniter set up showing a short (app. 30 minutes) of footage from SCR7. The long (2 hour) version will be on sale at SCR8 on DVD.

From what I hear, and the time slips I hear about, EVERYONE had better fear the Tommy K Auto Deuce.

Although..........., judging from the looooooooong, sustained smoky burnouts Schonye was doing Saturday afternoon in a certain Gobi Biege Deuce, Tommy MIGHT have some competition. Good Lord Kenny, I had NO IDEA an LT-1 could maintain 7800 RPM Banzai passes for 20 minutes and survive! That's one helluva car Marlin! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Tommy K just had that a/t deuce supertuned, I think we are all out of the running - even those Iowa boys with their headers https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif
