Especially since we're running an 8th mile! Hey guys let's all run stock automatic civics so they'll have a little competition!

 

Durn, seems I have forgotten that we are not on the 1/4 here! My bad! Forget those 13.7's as well, I screwed the pooch. Even if I can't beat you Marshall I am hoping that we will have enough consistently quick cars to come in under your guys average.

I blame Dave for not catching me on the 1/4 -> 1/8 thing. -Ian

 

bish, i didn't realize that track was only 1/8th mile.. dammit, i was lookin forward to a 1/4 mile run. oh well. in that case i predict mid to low 8s for our fastest, approx. 9.0 for our slowest.

 

The format has already been decided upon and is as follows:

- Will run as many possible "qualifying" rounds as possible
- UVA and VT cars will run seperate from the rest of the crowd that night in its own class and have its own lanes to set up in and do grudge matches during qualifying
- The top 9 cars of each school's club will be placed into the finals
- 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, and so on will race HEADS UP
- Best of 9 wins the event

The race will be April 11th and the time is tba. More details as they become available. I was just thinking, our fastest car might be a conservative 7.5 and the slowest would be around mid to high 8's. I'm speaking of our 9 cars that will make it to the finals. It should be fun either way since that night we leave the track and all head down to Blacksburg for the cookout on the 12th and the car show on the 13th. Your club president, Tim, will be giving you more details shortly as I have been in contact with him. Also we will probably have one or two mobile dynos at the car show and figure out what categories and such to award trophies and all for. As always we will do trophies for categories such as best domestic, import, presentation, etc.

 

This is great, I am glad to see this event finally evolve. I do not care who wins blah blah blah, I just want to see the cars!!! Maybe we can make a joint UVA/VT video? I am sure Tim will invite VT down to Richmond for some 1/4 mile action. I look forward to April 11th.

 

Actually working on such a trip leloz. We have a hookup to get 30/night rooms in a really nice sheraton hotel in richmond, indoor/outdoor pool, etc. You can see pics on our club's page. We are planning on doing a two night stay there with your club. Race on a friday and come back that night and then have a party in one of their large rooms that will be cattered. Also, they have their own bar, restaurant, parking garage, etc. We'll stay saturday night too and have some room parties and such. Should be a fun semester.

Are you talking about @ the car show? It's open to all of those who register for the car show and want to pay the money to get on the mobile dyno.

 

I worked at that Sheraton for a year and a half as a Senior Front Desk Clerk. Nice hotel Also I live about 5-10 minutes from there and know the area very well. So if we go i can help you guys plan resteraunts, events or anything.
