    Marauderville II - Drag Racing Format

    All,

    I've been getting questions on how the Drag Racing event will be handled. We've settled on a bracket setup, with a "Race of Champions" at the end to roll-it all up.

    Classes:

    11.99 and Faster
    12.00 to 12.99
    13.00 to 13.99
    14.00 and Up

    We will have two trophies for each class, a 1st Place and a Runner Up. In Addition, there will be a Trophy for Fastest ET and a trophy for the Slowest ET

    The Winner from each class will move on to the Race of Champions. Will again, will be a bracket race in two rounds to determine the winner of the entire event. There will be trophies for the 1st and 2nd place Race of Champions Participants.

    In addition to the above, we will accept a LIMITED number of pre-arranged GRUDGE matches. A Grudge match is a Heads up, first one to the end wins type of race. If you're interested in a grudge match and have someone in mind AND They agree, BOTH of you need to send ME an email by July 28th at the LATEST to be included on the grudge match list. Email logan@mercurymarauder.net

    Gates open at 8AM SHARP. Time trials will go from 9AM to 11:30AM and the RACE IS ON as of 12 NOON. We will race until about 4PM and wrap things up with the trophy presentation. After which, it's over to Kenny Brown for a BBQ Party!

    Keep in mind that the IMOA show grounds are open on Friday and you also have to register with the IMOA on Friday too.

    We will require a number of volunteer's to help out running the event. I will be doing SOME announcing, SOME racing, SOME mingling and heck, even greeting folks arriving at the track (and making sure y'all paid your dues! )

    It's going to be a kickin' event and I'm really looking forward to seeing some old, and alot of new faces this year!!

    OK, I'm still learning here....

    What I recently learned in the FFW bracket races associated with the 'true street' class was that not only must we not exceed our dial in, but most importantly, the best R/T wins that match. Is that how we are doing it here?

    BTW: I made it to the final 6 of 150 or so and was unable to achieve better than a .713 on a .500 tree.

    At the track I run at they place a devider between the lights on the tree so you cannot see your competitors lite. There is a digital display before the burnout area displaying both cars dial in.

    If you are dialed in at 14.5 and your competitor is 14.0, your lite will turn green .5 before his does. Whoever crosses the finish line first wins.

    Logan has graciously opened the door, so who is up for a grunge match or two? Anyone want a piece of Dave and #2? I really dont think grunge is the best name for it, but I do want to race other folks with other setups and get a real time feel for how it compairs to mine. Tossing me a set of keys is nice for a test drive, but the 1/4 mile is where you tell whats up. Personally I would like to go head to head with for example: one or both of the vortech setups; a trilogy setup with wild gears, like logan or billy; a trilogy car with the kooks on it (maybe Mike will have his done by then). Curiosity has been killing me for months, and I'm sure its been thought about by more than just me! This is a prime time for all of us to have these various setups in the same weather and track conditions, and try to see what things work and dont work. Just a thought.....agree? disagree?

    I've never heard of a bracket where the race is decided on a reaction time there Barry.

    Anyway, What determine's who wins in a bracket is who's closest to their dial-in without breaking out.
