Robert and Elizabeth Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 ACE has been invited by Joe at SECC to join the exotics for a day at Speedworld. If we get 25 ACE members signed up to race, we can have our own lane for the day! Sign up now so we can let Joe know how many are interested/confirming. Rules: helmet required for faster than 13.99 and cage required if faster than 10.0. Closed toed shoes are always a requirement no matter what you run.

MOTV8 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks for posting this R&E! You too Andrew! I hope everyone that wants to race can make it out to Speedworld for this, it should be a BLAST! You know I'll be running for that ragtop title! Some FYI:If you are taking your street car, and it is not a death trap, you will pass tech. Some obvious things you need: seatbelts, safe tires (no cord showing), all lug nuts, radiator coolant overflow catch canister (the factory one is fine), no blatant fluid leaks pouring out, etc! Your battery must be firmly attached to the body of the car (doesn't move when it is pushed on). Also, shorts and tank tops are not allowed. You MUST wear long pants while racing! This is about it for a street car. If your car runs faster than 13.99, you will need a DOT approved helmet.Unless you beat on your car, drag racing won't hurt it at all. You don't have to do 5 minute burn-outs and 4000 rpm launches to enjoy drag racing. As with any sport, it's about finess. A precision launch and smooth shifting will get you a quicker time than hammering on your car anyway. Many of us do this light to light, so why not do it safely and legally on the track? Even if you don't want to race, come on out and socialize. They have good concessions and it will be a lot of fun checking out cars, taking pictures and just mingling.Remember, if we get 25 or so 'vettes out there we'll get one of the 8 staging lanes all to ourselves and we can run our own deal, a bracket race or just pair off for some heads up and run whatcha brung. So, smack-talking aside, are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey Robert, have you got that Killer Beast to hook up on a good run yet? I know you've done a lot more work on it since we talked at Casa Grande and was wondering how it's coming.Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert and Elizabeth Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey Robert, have you got that Killer Beast to hook up on a good run yet? I know you've done a lot more work on it since we talked at Casa Grande and was wondering how it's coming.MalcolmNo, I have not raced it since last year. I do not want to make any promises as to when we will race again. We are tied up in making power numbers right now and want to have that part finished before we race it again. We have changed speed shops and am waiting for the ported manifold. When that is installed, we will be maxed N/A. Elizabeth is working Nov 3, so we will miss this event.

MOTV8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Well, looks like eleven IN already:Dawg (unless his Rotund Ragtopper chop doesn’t count as an entry...)MOTV8 - desperately seeking pre-race mod fundageKens06 - Kermit or Smirf?TEXAZC6 - the Monterrey Red rocketSpeedratchet - the AmbassadorQuiktrip - still the reigning ACE drag champion!Bigfoot99 - once a slow C5, now...?84vette - fresh paint equals lower e.t.Malcolm - seeking revenge on GaryYuma Rich - long distance winnerGrayeagle - the ringerSpectators?:Ted - Leaks not allowed on trackAnM x 2 - late arrivalsScratch? - I’m assuming he won’t have a ‘vette to run, provided jstrutt’s cheque clears.... This is shaping up nicely, but I want to hear from you BIG dogs....Glenn, Phil, Drew, Mark, etc...??? Who’s gonna put the smack down on those 11 second turbo Porsches and blown Mercs in the other lanes? And you know I want a piece of Roxanne, where’s Chad?
