Pre Cruise Meet Spot


Denny's
Northwest Hwy and 635
9:30am arrival
10:30 depart
PM me with your specific other places to meet at and I will post them here for others to see.

Since no one can come to an agreement on the type of races - perhaps we should vote at the track - Have a driver meeting if you will - ideas?

~Brooks

* Admission Price 10$ per person (this includes Tech Card)
* Gates open 1:00 P.M. - Don't be Late !!!!!!

Don't forget there will be ricer night right after us starting at 5:00 - Be there to get your good parking spot - DFWStangs will own this biatch !!!

Sign me up. Just post the meeting time, meeting place, and the cost to sign up. I would be down for the cruise and more than likely a few runs. Keep us informed as the details come in.

[Beenfetchedlately]

I'll be there. At least at the track. I don't know about the cruise to the track. What time will the track open?

I cant remember exactly...But i thought Dave, Gary and I talked about noon. It may have been one though..All i really remember is that we have 4 hours before the rice rockets race at 5:30..LOL

Hope i find some tires and a cable to tune the car in better with. 6.50s is getting boring!

Mike

[Beenfetchedlately]

I'll be there, will we be renting the track ,and if so will there be a certian price?
At this time i think it will be $10 a person to get in and race. Like Brooks said, ill be ironing out the details as time gets closer.

Oh yeah, ill be there but not sure if im working that Sunday or going to be racing before 5:30 then work after that.

Mike

[NDSP]

Maybe I even get my stuff running by then. I'll be there either way.

[SMOKEY]

Ok. Here it is - Mike (beenfetchedlately) has arranged out GTG/CRUISE at the track for


<marquee>SUNDAY OCTOBER 24TH. </marquee>



Please sign up here and show up if you sign up!!!!!

There will most likely be a cruise to the track - If we could arrange a meeting place for breakfast or lunch and go from there.

At this point we are open for suggestions for locations and times.


~Brooks

So far we need:

* Admission Price ?
* Gates open?

**To avoid some of the "I didn't even know you were there" stuff. Everyone should try to get some sort of small sticker with their screen name - So everyone else will know who you are**I can not make it. I will be at the club challenge at the Texas Motorplex. 89(TRYLS1)LX

[Carrie]

We'll probably cruise the fairlane out there. But, I doubt we will be racing it. :D

[turbostang]

Does anyone have any ideas on where to meet at ? Maybe hooters on Bryant Irvin Rd Or mayb the one on Green Oaks?

[SSMAN]

I am up for that.........either one. I got cut short the last time due to bad mood. So is this on a Sunday? If its at K'dale I will be there for that as well. Providing you can get them to open at 12:00pm.

[STROKD]

I am in as long as my car doesn't break again.

[turbostang]

[jag61180]

I am in as long as my car doesn't break again.

I'm with STROKD on that one. But I'll show up even if I have to tow it there!!!
Its just not a normal day for me without something breaking!

Hooters is great. Sorry .........The last time I went to hooters (last week in Aug) for a get together my car got keyed right before I went to it. Hooters is just fine :D I left early because I was in a bad mood. I was really looking forward to it too. Count me in! :cool:

[musclestang89]

count me in to race or watch I will be there.

And about the cruise sounds good. Just where ever we go, I need trailer parking if I bring the car. :D Which as of right now I don't see why I wouldn't.

Brandon

[Futurama]

i'm in and i will race, but i dont think i will do the cruise if its not in my area since i will be coming from midcities and heading to the track, but if its close, i will do the cruise too.

If the cruise is at the Hooters in Arlington - I will actually have to drive past the track to cruise back :( But I will be there. :D

[Futurama]

well the hooters in arlington would work, i thought this was gunna be a dallas thing for the cruise, if you can handle the trek from NRH, i imagine i can as well.

[n00b420]

im down!!!

Well if my tags dont come in by then I wont be driving squat there.. It will be on the trailor to Hooters and then to the track.. Other wise I am giong to drive it there and run a 5.9x and hopefully drive it home. :D

i hope you get in the mags when you race at FFW lifting the front tires and spots on the fender lol, that would be the shit.

Nah.. I am not going to make FFW - I didn't want to spend the ~400$ to buy some "stree" tires that I could run on.. So I will just spectate. :(

[mikeb]

Since no one has mentioned it yet it's probably time to start discussing how the racing will occur - what kind of groupings (heads up, power adder, N/A, bracket, ford vs. the world, etc) do we want? Probably need to also start posting up yer grudge races, and maybe someone can compile a list of them somewhere.

Personally i'd be up for a little bracket racing since i'm not fast enough to beat any of the big boys heads up.

maybe we should call it "Junk Yard Wars, HotRod Style"

[fast86gn]

What about race fuel? Will it be sold at the track?

I know I have been to Kennedale once on a Sunday evening for green light and there was no race fuel.

You know them dam Buicks need the octane. :D

[turbostang]

Are you boys sure you want the Buicks to show up? :D

Noble is the following weekend that would be two............

showing up is optional for Buicks. I guess it just depends on how bad they wanna get drug. :confused:

I am certain they will sell race gas - they have every Sunday I have been there.

I dont know about brackets or headsup or whatever.. Someone else will have to manage that aspect of it.. MikeB you in?

[mikeb]

Sure.

I'll start up another thread and see what the people want.

[sixgun86]

I am up for it and my Buick doesn't need the race gas to run with most here.Sounds like alot of fun.

[fast86gn]

I'll race every mustang there and I'll still win more than I lose! heheheheheh

[mikeb]

Ya'll need to take it to this thread and let's figure out how we want to structure the races.

My guess is that we'll wind up with a bracket race and a heads up race.

Has anyone thought of index racing?? At least there is no staggered tree you leave at the same time. You can have as many classes as you want.

For example you can have 8.0 to 9.0 or split it up say 8.5 to 9.0; 8.0 to 8.49; 7.5 to 7.99 and so on. You can make the index anything you want you just can't go faster than the class you are in.

This way you have no need for a Bracket &Heads up class.

Just a thought.

Bring it - Don't Sing it !!!

[SLOW 77]

How about something like the Ford vs Buick event, yet make it Ford vs all the other types of cars on this site. Something type of heads up event; to me it would be a lot more fun than another gay bracket race. Just get some time trials in to match the cars up than go from there. Maybe it won't work, but it would add some fun to the event.

Wouldn't index racing tickle your fancy? :rolleyes:

You'll have Fords in every class I'm sure.

It would be heads up at the tree and it would match similar cars for the best races! No need for a bracket and a heads up class and 10.5 tire class etc. Less confusion!

Just my .02 I'll show either way.

[turbostang]

That was funny. :eek:

awsome.. ill be there

[Boss5.0]

I'll be there if it is index racing. My shit is stock(mostly) with a bad syncro. :( It would be great to have a Dallas meeting ground to cruise up there. Where is K-dale by the way? Im an Ennis junkie.

South of Ft. Worth close to I20 and Business 287

From Mesquite go 635/20 south 635 ends continue on I20 and go west to Business 287 (Mansfield Hwy) exit to the left stay in the left lane turn left at the light (your on 287) go to New Hope rd turn right it's about 2 miles down on the right. From Mesquite it's about 50-55 miles.

[mikeb]

One of the goals of this event is to get as many people as possible from dfwstangs to participate.

Your own personal view of heads up racing probably has a lot to do with how fast your car runs (or not).

If this turns into a primarily heads up event I think a lot of people will bypass. Why spend the $10 to know you'll probably lose in the first round if you are running a slower car?

So, my opinion is that we need a "fair" class for some people and heads up for the rest.

I know some of ya'll have the "run whatcha brung" view and that's fine. Not everyone is on the fastest lists; these people will be looking for something else to have some fun.

If ya'll can figure some groupings that are fair and fun for everyone - slow or fast - then let's hear it.

The problem I see with an index race is that the guy running at the bottom of an index group is a lot happier than the guy running at the top of it. 7.50 beats 7.80 every time.

Gay or not I think a bracket race might have a place at this event for a lot of people.

I'm guessing that given the amount of time available we'll be able to run time trials and maybe two types of races - Mike (BFL) - can you confirm this?

I couldn't agree more. Not to mention you can't please everyone. Like stated above the main goal is to have a BIG GTG at the TRACK and get some of the
long-standing grudge races out of the way and settled once and for all.
I also agree that everyone will get plenty of passes (providing you dont do 302PAF style cool downs - sorry Kirk had to do it) and even get a chance to partcicipate in some sort of bracket racing.

How about this :
Bracket racing with a TWIST... everyone runs on a dial in. Instant Green. This way it will rule out all of the pro-bracket racer types... and it will rely more on the car ??

[mikeb]

I'm thinking a bracket race with a sportsman tree and heads up with random pairing.

If you believe in the heads up run whatcha brung then put it on the line :)

[mikeb]

Brackets should also be no electronics for the spirit of the cruise (fun). Trans brakes OK if triggered by the driver. Win it on your own mad driving skilz.

Hard to police this rule though.

Now this is seriously debatable - I have a two step (as do many others that will be there) on the brake - this is considered by many as electronics, even though it is not timed - but released by the driver.

[mikeb]

What I was thinking about is delay boxes. Two step/trans brake should be OK.

Have fun guys.

The meeting time/place probably won't be decided on for a little while till there is enough people getting signed up for the races.

Yeah I'll be there

I think I might have to trailor the old junker out there for this. Too far to chance driving from Terrell;).

Great.. Make sure you guys show up !!! This will be great.

[BLK306]

Well I just found out today when I tried to go back to work that they are making me take short term dissability because of my knee sergury (off work for a month) so now I should have plenty of time to get the car ready. Count me in.

Don't know if I'll race. Anybody want to line 'em up with an old Mustang that laid down a blistering 10.2 on it's only run down Kennedale? I hooked that pegleg rear end up so good last time, it busted a motor mount. :D

If ya'll can figure some groupings that are fair and fun for everyone - slow or fast - then let's hear it.

The problem I see with an index race is that the guy running at the bottom of an index group is a lot happier than the guy running at the top of it. 7.50 beats 7.80 every time.

Gay or not I think a bracket race might have a place at this event for a lot of people.

I'm guessing that given the amount of time available we'll be able to run time trials and maybe two types of races - Mike (BFL) - can you confirm this?

You will get time trials for sure...Understand a guy that runs 7.90s is better on the tree than the guy that runs the 7.60....Reaction in this slow of a class is gonnabe the decider. Not whos car is faster. trust me on this. It happens every friday night. The slower of middle of the field car wins alot more then they lose.

The class breaks could be setup for instance based on safety equipment.:

Examples:

8.60 and slower get a bracket race.
7.50-8.59 index
6.40-7.49 index
5.40-6.39 index

THese are examples i dont remember all the safety requirements or all the breaks after 6.39 but the ones before hand im pretty positive on ;)

[Beenfetchedlately]

where is everone meeting ??? Im in Grand Prairie

I live right at 360 and i-20. We might be able to get a meeting spot growing right there in that area.

Mike

[bobs94formula]

Examples:

8.60 and slower get a bracket race.
7.50-8.59 index
6.40-7.49 index
5.40-6.39 index


Even add an 8.60-9.69 index maybe???? For the slower guys that don't want an actual bracket race.

Bob

[Futurama]

8.60 and slower get a bracket race.
Mike
ONCE AGAIN, complete horseshit, just cuz i dont have a LS1/or$$$ doesnt mean i should bracket race, i would have the same fun playing pinball cuz im only going for a score :mad: if this is true count me and many of the other "SUPERSLOW" cars out, this is the biggest catagory and we damn well should have the right to run heads up.

8.60 and slower really doesnt have any rules per say. Long as the car is somewhat complete and driveable...etc no missing lugs, etc.

Thats why there wasnt a class for them folks except for bracket style.

Run in FnG then...If you want to run the classes run them...FnG will still be going on. Pick an opponent and race him. I think its more then fair on whats going on....Even if its faster then 8.60 and you dont want to run the index classes you can run in the bracket or run FnG...I think its pretty simple to be honest. Dont get your mufflers in a wad dude.

Where's that cry baby smiley at ;)

Mikeim getting real tired of all these events geared for fast cars when the people running them think a high 7 isnt fast. to me that is damn fast, and better then what most of the people here run if they would be honest, im just standing up for the lil guy since no one else will speak up. if you run 8.59 you have to wear a helmet, big deal :rolleyes:

all im saying is i wish the who event was FnG so we could all race as much as we want with time allowed and not get delayed by waiting on other classes coming to the line, or getting knocked out of a class by losing a race and not being able to make any more passes cuz the other classes are already started. if this is our event then it should be pretty easy to line similar cars up together to a common sense of degree. the rest should just be grudge matches that line up in the lanes and tell the guy that they want to race each other.

if you are a dork and have a 7 second car and say, line me up to that stock GT then fine, but dont let the GT not race again becuz it got beat,

this GTG would be alot more fun if it wasnt a race type event that means if you lose the race you are done for the day. its should be fun for everyone and since there are more 8.60 and slower cars on this site than any other class combined, the event should be geared for the slower people so more DFWstangers show up. why is this so important to me?

cuz many people want to run true street but dont want to put up with all the BS like having to stand by your car for 6hours and only making 2 runs. So instead i am considering this event my FFW race. and i think alot of other dfwstangers with street cars would too.

call that crying if you want, im just telling you the point of view for the majority of dfwstang members, we are just it for fun, not for a competition, and want to be able to have a good time racing with our friends whether they are faster or slower.

[Drs2288]

i also think their should be H2H races cuz im sure there are alote of people going out there that run 9's

[Lane]

I'll be there.

[Mosephus]

So have we established a place to meet for the cruise?

[GVazquez]

nope!!!

Does the minority always get met on their needs? The answer is a simple no. Because it seems to me that you are the only one speaking for the said group you talk about...

On the other hand, we are throwing out suggestions on how we want to run this race.

Me personally could give a crap less on how many runs i get. As long as i get in my few races im happy. Then again, some folks dont like to sit by their car all day long and watch bracket racers or slower cars either.

This is how i would run the race if it was me running the show:

-Bracket race for any car
-FnG
-King of DFWStangs race. Fastest 8 cars show down in a quick 8 type race, with a sportsman tree, bracket style or heads up. Its however the majority of the group wants to race it. Heads up or Brackets. Its easy for us to set up the computer to do so.

Index racing is funner, but there is always alot of crying going on as we have here.

Come on People.. we need some solid ideas for meeting places.. Even though I may not be able to make it with the car :(

I like the King of DFW stangs idea! Someone will need to put alot of air pressure in Andrews tires though in the stagging lanes for traction purpose's. ;)

Mike
that is becuz the slower members dont post as much and some are scared to speak up for themselves cuz you would beat them by at least 2 seconds in the 1/8mile, i dont give a shit if i look like this lil mouse trying to race with the big cats, as long as i get to race, im just speaking up for the lil guy. as long as there is a FNG for any car, then i think it will solve all problems.

[Beej]

Ill be bracket racing steve, Im not scared to cut you down at the tree :)

[Keystoner]

I'm in for sure

Why don't we just do FnG with the quick 8 at the end or somthing, either way it's not that big of a deal.

[turbostang]

lol , he would still be able to take me :( whats up Brooks, you started this up and now your not going to run? :confused: You should have stayed EFI :p


actually I am staying EFI (at least today that is the decision) That is why I may or may not make it out there. :D The FAST stuff is expensive !!

Mike I am gonna have to agree with you on this one. Not everyone will be pleased no matter what. We are going the extra mile to arrange this so that most everyone will be happy and have a good time.
There will be plenty of time for everyone to get multiple passes in if there is 3 or less classes.
The Quick 8 is a good idea too. We should make this the plan.

[Futurama]

Ill be bracket racing steve, Im not scared to cut you down at the tree :)you go ahead and bracket trick, im running heads up.


brooks, i wasnt trying to start stuff, im just trying to show the people posting in this thread the POV of most of the site that has slower cars, if you build it, they will come, and i thought the whole point of this was to get alot of people coming. ill lay off my talking for now though it looks like it is just gunna cuz argurments, but as long as their is plenty of FunNgrudge time for cars no matter how slow they are, i think the event will be perfect.
i like mikes idea, do the quickest of DFWstangs showdown class, and then the rest can run FunNgrudge, with maybe one bracket class thrown in if people want it. i think a poll would be a better format. most people are to lazy to post their opinion but they will click A/B or C.

[Mosephus]

I gotta slow car, who wants to race???

[Futurama]

I gotta slow car, who wants to race??? lol, how slow?

[Mosephus]

9.0 slow :(

well if we run index racing, I am in, 8.0 index will work.

[GVazquez]

9.0 slow :(
Ill race ya!!! I am alot slower I think :confused:

I also agree that Mike's suggestion is a good one. There is something for everyone, and the first timers or guys running slower cars are not left out in the cold.

[turbostang]

possibly a pole is in order?

[mikeb]

possibly a pole is in order?

Is this what we've boiled it down to?

Choice 1 -> TnT, Bracket race, Quick 8
Choice 2 -> TnT, Index race, Quick 8

[Saladbar]

I'm still there :p

[Saladbar]

possibly a pole is in order?


Perhaps a poll would be a better choice ;) :p

[injectedpony]

<-----there too.......Hopefully will have a new tranny in by then :D

[turbostang]

Perhaps a poll would be a better choice ;) :p

hahah LMAO .. what was I thinking?

[Beej]

bracket, or index works for me. Both are fun

[Nate]

i would prefer bracket, only way i have a chance.

[mikeb]

Is this what we've boiled it down to?

Choice 1 -> TnT, Bracket race, Quick 8

BFL, turbostang - can ya'll chime in on this? if these are the choices i'll post a poll.

[Futurama]

i would prefer bracket, only way i have a chance. chance to win? do you have to win to have fun bro? dump the stereo for the sunday and make some decent times man.

[Michaelb303]

i don't like bracket but i'll go with the flow of things it's all fun.

[Futurama]

i don't like bracket but i'll go with the flow of things it's all fun.after all my bitching im sure there will be a heads up FUNnGrude/testNtune class for people just going out there to have some fun like me

[Beej]

chance to win? do you have to win to have fun bro? dump the stereo for the sunday and make some decent times man.


exactly, if we do index, basically if you can run a 9.01 every pass, you can win.

or if your running 8's, you have to run a 8.00. So you can do that. but bracket is fun too. I love to bracket, I have lots of fun with it over the years.

[musclestang89]

Choice 1 -> TnT, Bracket race, Quick 8 (heads up)


thats my choice, but I will be there whatever kind of racing is going on :D

[GVazquez]

hell I just wanna race...Im slow....just wanna see how slow!!

[Beej]

index sounds the same as bracket to me with seperate classes for each ET class.

thats about it.

[mikeb]

index sounds the same as bracket to me with seperate classes for each ET class.

The thing about an index race is that the cars racing run similar numbers so the racing is closer - ie: no 10 second cars lined up against 7 second cars and a 3 second head start. Of course, in a bracket you pick your number and in an index the number is chosen for you.

You could make a bracket race more interesting by lining the cars up in the staging lanes by how fast they are dialed in - make a lane for 6 and faster, 7's, 8's, and 9-> slower (or whatever). The guy working the lane would pull cars that are close in ET. This would tighen up the racing while still using a bracket format.

It seems to me on an index race that a lot of people will try sandbagging back into the next higher index (ie: slowing down) to try to be competitive (?)

Personally i'm down for whatever format the board wants to do.

[Futurama]

. which is exactly why i think the index is un fair if you want a competition, it should just be fun and grudge, otherwise you could have guys that run mid 7sevens all day sand bag and pretty much rule the 8second index, so whats the solution? someone like me to sandbag and rule the 9second index? and the cycle continues. people need to go run flat out, you dont see people on the street sandbagging to win a class, why should it be different at our event? if its fun and grudge you can get lined up against anyone and not care if they are faster/slower, or line up with a guy in the lanes and tell the flagman you want to race someone that is right beside you.

see my point? damn here i go again.

[turbostang]

BFL, turbostang - can ya'll chime in on this? if these are the choices i'll post a poll.


I'll have to say Brackets.. becuase if it were done with index's there would be alot of sandbaggers and therefore the whining would be heavy aftwerwards.. at least with brackets everyone has a chance - slow or fast.

[Lane]

I'm only there if there's BIG money involved...











;)

[Saladbar]

Not always true.... Index racing you could knock off the faster "7.50" guy running in the "8.00" class if you yourself were already running low 8's ~ thus forcing the faster guy to possibly break out. However, for those stuck running mid-8's, it's a whole lot harder to speed up vs. slowing down.

Aww crap.. mikeb's idea sounds best. :)

[Lane]

Have both. A few good index slots. 6.40, 7.00, 7.60 on a .500 pro tree, and a normal bracket race. Setting it up so people can run both would be EXTRA cool. ;):)

[Futurama]

bracket or index to me doesnt matter, as long as there is a TestnTune/funNgrudge event that you can go race in after you are elimanated.

[TrueBlueGT]

Is there any cost to go and watch?

[Milo]

Looks like my car is going to be running within a few weeks.I am getting a stock rebuilt 351w just to be able to drive this coupe around.It will be slow for awhile.
I am up for whatever kind of racing.

see my point? damn here i go again.

Have you ever participated in an index race? Its way more competitive then you think. The only major LS1 event i went to last year i ran the 12 sec index. I never slowed my car down at the end. I added a few pounds to the car and stayed in it all the way through. Most of the cars in the 12 sec index were running 12.50 or faster and it was all a close race. I had all the cars covered on mph by 3-7 mph on all my opponents though. If you've never raced in an index style class you can knock it. Ill take index racing over bracket horse shit ANYDay!

Im not sure you will find anything like that but if i get my car sorted out we can line up ;)

After driving it Saturday and making highway blasts it might need a new clutch pack. Hopefully it was slipping because the fluid was hot though. We will see next time i take her out. :(

I had an interesting offer. A local shop offered to get some sort of dyno day before the trip to the track. It will be in Arlington if any one is interested. Let me know. The dyno time would be from 10-12. and would require about 8-10 participants...

[GVazquez]

where is Mikes?

[turbostang]

Sunday - the same day as the race. I personally won't do it for fear of breaking before I get to run.. but I thought I'd throw it out there.

mikes is on hwy26(grapevine hwy) in colleyville 8175817409, tell him dfwstangs sent you. we are trying to get him to hook us up by bringing site members to his dyno if he keeps letting us run so cheap

[fordracing19]

[whitetrash]

i dunno about the cruise thats early for me (graveyard shift) but i will come out to the track

[mikeb]

It's not really an open track day for everyone but if you know someone that would like to come out and run that should be OK.

What we don't want is 400+ cars there with only 75 of them belonging to members.

excellent point - Well put.

[Moose Jr]

So, has a decision been made on what type of racing there will be? I'm voting for heads up indexes, quick 8 and test & tune of course.

[Drs2288]

im from fort worth will i be representing "westside", what time does the cruise start, will all us people from fort worth be meeting somewhere?

[poopnut2]

i'm in and i will race, but i dont think i will do the cruise if its not in my area since i will be coming from midcities and heading to the track, but if its close, i will do the cruise too.

I'll do the same so this guy will leave me alone.

[Paladin]

Subscibing to stay informed :D

Me too.

[Green1995GT]

I am going and my brother is going to 1994silverGT. Do we need to sign up anywhere or just go out there on Sunday the 24th?

Nope!! Just be there :)

[Drs2288]

hey turbo are you and anyone else meeting up anywhere in fort worth, if so what time and where

[Keystoner]

has there been a place decided to meet up for lunch and the cruise or are there just going to be several spots to meet for differen't area's?

[Mosephus]

That might be a cool idea if each corner of the compass each had a cruise to the track. How bout the South side meets at the Star Center in Duncaville.

I think theres enough people to meet somewhere in the HEB area, that could cover the grapvine collyville area too
