REAL STREET COMPETITION

[ivmotor]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need a head count for this event. $80 entry, $1000 prize, rules as follows:

RULES FOR 2008 RENO-FERNLEY RACEWAY STREET CAR CHALLENGE

Open to all vehicles. Vehicles must be roadworthy and street legal. Reno-Fernley Raceway and its subsidiaries will not be held responsible for any damages to persons or vehicles involved in the Street Car Challenge (SCC).

The purpose of this event is to reward the best street car based on multiple tasks and judging. The tasks will be as follows:
Forty mile drive and measured fuel mileage over the forty miles.
Show and shine competition where participants will be judged on items like, but not limited to, paint, tires, seating, cup holders, interior lighting, stereo and HVAC.
Total modification list. This will be part of the initial sign-up sheet and will be verified at the show and shine. The most mods wins this event.
60 to 0 braking. Shortest distance wins. Each participant gets two attempts.
Drag race. We will develop ladders during the drag test and tune. It will be single elimination style. Red lights count.

This is a full day event. We will meet at 9am at the McChevron on Vista to "top-off" and finish registration. We will then drive as a group on Interstate 80 and end up at the Chevron at the east side of Fernley to "top-off" again to compute mileage. All participants will drive the same speed, we will have a lead and tail car. We will then drive to Reno-Fernley Raceway (RFR) and immediately begin the judging for the car show. As soon as your judging is done you may prepare your car the the braking challenge. We will open a strip on the lower paddock where participants will be able to practice. Judging will be based on a radar gun verified speed, space constrained, line and cone strip. Vehicles risk elimination by line or cone contact. This means MAINTAIN CONTROL. Drag strip will be open the entire day. After your mileage, show and shine, mods list, and braking challenges are judged you may begin practicing on the drag strip. The ladder will be posted at the timing shack by the starting line. The ladder will decided by random draw and have elimination round times next to each round. If you are late you forfeit. You may change your setup between events.

Judging will be based on the total number of cars. If we have 85 cars, the first place finisher for each event gets 85 points, second place gets 84, third gets 83 and so on. All judging is based on three independent judges with majority rule.

Entry is $80. The winner gets $1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spectators/pit crew are $5. Trophies will be awarded to the winner of each task and first through fourth place

Put in a fastest lap around course A and delete the mod list and show and shine and I might play...

The guy in the smallest car in the middle of the pack on cruise control tailgating a larger car will win the fuel mileage.

Hope you have talked to NHP. An organized caravan of cars that size likely needs their approval and possibly escort.

Maybe I am blind what actual day will this be held on?

I assume you need 13 people to actually have the event?

I would guess more like 40-50+ to pay for everything... Track and support staff aren't free...

I'm looking at 11/15 or 11/22.

The rules won't change.

I did this competition a decade ago through scca...we had around thirty people. I need a head count to set the event up. NHP doesn't care about the caravan unless we inhibit traffic.

Sounds fun but my car is ugly.

If it were something like a skidpad or slalom competition, I might have been a little interested... Straightlining is boring, in a 15 second car!

I think I may have a chance... I know I can dominate the braking and cup-holder competition.

Do I get to count do-over mods? 'Cause I've got like 5 in engine swaps alone!

...but I think I've got no chance competing with the likes of folks that list their air-fresheners and floor mats as "mods".
