Jerry Barnes informed me of this event today, and my contact at Eaton confirmed the invite. Eaton is having it's annual Drag Race Event at Milan Dragway on June 21, 2005. Eaton was very interested in some of the Eaton equipped Marauders participating in the event, and since a majority of the Motor City Crew has Eatons on their Marauders, our club has been invited to participate in this awesum event! ALL Motor City Marauders were cordially invited, so I accepted on behalf of the club. All of our Marauders are welcome whether supercharged or not! This is a very exclusive by invitation only event that includes a full day of racing, test and tune, and brackets with very nice Awards! They also cater one hell of a great dinner. I can attest to this event as one not to miss, take the day off work!! Lidio, Jerry, and I went last year. This press release includes some preliminary information, enough to take the day off work for! Any further updates will be posted here, along with how to be on the registered list. For the time being, if you can attend, select yes in the pole.
You are invited to attend our 11th Annual Eaton Automotive sponsored Drag Race outing at Milan Dragway on Tuesday, June 21, 2005. This outing is to thank you for your support and business throughout the year!
The agenda for the day is:
9:00 am Gates open, vehicle inspection begins
10:00 am - 4:00 pm Time trials
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Track closed
5:00 pm - 9:00 pm Eliminations
9:00 pm Awards presentation
Note: Dinner will be served from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm and the concession stand will be open earlier in the day to provide snacks/lunch as needed.
Individuals planning to race their vehicle should arrive no later than 2:00 pm for time trial purposes. After participating in the trials, you will know which of the four categories you will race in:
11.99 and faster Pro E.T.
12.00-13.99 Super Street
14.00 - 15.99 Factory Flyer
16.00 and slower Daily Driver
International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) rules apply and the track can refuse any vehicle to race; however, most stock production vehicles in good condition will pass technical inspection. Helmets are required for all vehicles 13.99 and faster. Milan Dragway recommends a helmet for all racers, so bring yours if you have one. Drag racing, as with any type of motorsport activity, can be hazardous. You will be required to sign a release of liability form when you enter the track, along with a second form if you race your vehicle.
We have an exciting day planned and will have more announcements as the date approaches, so watch your email! We look forward to having you participate as a spectator or a racer. Either way, a great time is guaranteed. If you have never raced before, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a try, as there will be many friendly competitors on hand to help you out.
