moregrip Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Saturday Feb 19th SOCal Truck Guys! Our Second Truck Meet will be at the Barona Drag Strip. It's an 1/8 mile setup. NHRA Rules, that means you'll need a helmet, long sleeve shirt, and long pants to run. For $30 you can "Test and Tune" all day, and we can BBQ, I imagine, if someone wants to get those Burgers and Hot Dogs rolling! THE SECOND DATE IS OFFICIAL: SAT FEB 19TH FOR DIRECTIONS CLICK HERE: http://www.baronadrags.com/map.shtml FOR EVENT INFO CLICK HERE: http://www.baronadrags.com/news.shtml FOR LODGING CLICK HERE: http://www.barona.com/hotel/index.cfm Test and Tune schedule is: GATES OPEN AT 6:00AM TECH STARTS AT 7:00AM DRIVERS MEETING AT 9:00AM RACING STARTS AT 10:00AM RACING OVER 5:00PM Barona "Truck" Drag Meet Update! I just got off the phone with the Barona Drag Strip Director, Tony. If we get 10 or more trucks to show up, and if we are interested, Tony can set up a "Gambler Event" for us! What's a "Gambler Event" ? Well, we all get together in the morning and decide how much each person wants to contribute to the "Pot" (i.e. $10, $20, whatever we agree too). Then we make our runs on a ladder system based on our Bracket (time we select). So the way that goes is: A person decides what his 1/8th mile time is, then, his goal is to get as close to that time, without going over. Now, if I were to pick an 1/8th mile time of 7.5 sec, then a perfect run would be a 7.5. Got it. Purse is a 60/40 split. 60% going to the winner, 40% going to the runner up. Also, Tony said that if this is your first time at a Drag Strip, he will line you up singles or (by yourself) until you get comfortable with the process. If you want , of course. He also noted that, at a very min, we should get 10 runs in per person, and that the least populated times were right at 10a.m. and around 4p.m. very cool! please sign up at the ls1tech website http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=271797 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerJJ Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Eric-the weather is usually pretty good there but I am not too sure about the elevation. On the 19th, my guess is that it will be cool and dry with little or no wind...just a guess; I'm not a weather man! Before my trans mods, I ran in the 9.50's consistently and I was detonating the whole way down (PCM was not set for CA gas). The shutdown area is real short so if your truck is done "done," you may want to be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
