Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

some updates have been made to the heads up rules!!!

Outlaw Heads-Up has been changed to a "stock style" suspension class
Since we are going to a stock suspension formula, we will be making revisions to the weight requirements for the class to equalize N/A, Nitrous, and Boosted applications.

Hot Street Heads-Up has had some additional tire sizes added to allow for a few alternate tire and gear combo's.
The discussion of splitting the N/A cars into a separate Hot Street class are still ongoing, but it is something that we would like to do.

Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

Hey, F-Body Guys -
Have you thought of doing a Maxton event? Essentially, you just need to get a group of you and drive down on a race weekend (see <ecta-lsr.com>). We have rustic free camping on site (porta-potties, water but I don't know if it's potable) and motels in Laurinburg are fairly cheap. Track food is fairly cheap and decent quality.

If you get a bazillion of you who want to do this, you should let us know so we can plan for it. Of course, you'll need an inline six class, so I have a chance!

Think about it
Dan

Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

that was actually something that has been discussed. as of right now there are only a few of us from my club that are anxious to get out and try it.
if you are interested in setting up something to get a large group of f-bodies out to maxton, shoot me a PM. i will be happy to help work on it.

Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

These special events work the other way around. The organization (like HRM or Sports Bikes, or you guys) figure out what you would like to do, then contact Keith and Tonya and the rest of the board and work it out with them. Basically, it's up to you folks to administer the meet and we sort of superimpose it on top of one of our regular meets. KEITH - If I have this wrong, please correct.

So basically, we can try to work in whatever you want to do. You can make up your own classes, etc, as long as all competitors meet the applicable safety requirements - we don't budge on that.

If there are just a few of you, well COME ON DOWN!! You'll have a blast, I can guarantee. A brief outline of the rules is on the website under "Top Speed Challenge".

Later
Dan

Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

Just did a few final updates to the Heads-Up racing rules.
Based on some of the feedback we have received over the last few weeks we split the Hot Street Heads-Up class into Hot Street N/A Heads-Up and Hot Street Power Adder Heads-Up.
There is still room for a little more tweaking as far as weights and we are looking for suggestions for supercharger size limits in the Hot Street Power Adder Class.

The Bracket Racing program and Car Show are also finalized.

There will be a lot of new information about the East Coast Nats in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for all the latest updates.

Please take some time to look over the classes and rules to see where your car may in. We look forward to seeing you all out at the 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

Re: 2008 East Coast F-Body Nationals

You know what might be a cool deal would be to have an F-Body Top Speed Shootout. You could do it in May or June when attendance at the regular events is a little lower. Different classes for 1st gen, 2nd gen, etc. N/A and power adder. Maybe even a 6 cyl class for us dorks (right Dan?)

The more I think about it, the more fun I think it would be. I'm sure I could get a few of the guys from the Mid Tn F Body Assoc to run out there and promote it through the various boards.
