Check out the No Problem Raceway website >> Roadracing >> Schedule. Maybe Sigforty can explain it as I have not been to this type of event myself.

Here is the outline of the event and the timeline for the day. We get to have some road course fun and also time to play on the dragstrip.

Vette vs Mopar Car Club Challenge


All Day Event

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


The 5th Annual Vette/Mopar Benefit Race Day is Scheduled for Sunday, Mar. 16th, 2008 at No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, LA.
We'll run on the Road course in the morning and move over to the Drag Strip around noon. Event Fee - $20 car & driver; $10 for Spectators and kids 10 & under are Free.

Tentative Schedule - Sunday, Mar. 16th, 2008:
8:00 AM - Track Opens
8:30 AM - Road Course Laps Begin
11:30 AM - Road Course Laps End
NOON: - Drag Strip Time Trials Begin
2:30 PM - 1st Round Bracket Classes Begin

Each year the Beneficiary is selected in consultation with NPR Management. This year's Beneficiary is Sharee Lanoux (she's the EMT that staffed the ambulance for our event last year). Sharee has lung cancer and mid November discovered she has four Tumors on her brain. The prognosis is not very good. Sharee works as an EMT at the track often and was there for our Grand Bayou Race on Sunday. In addition she works as a Special Ed. Aide at St. Amant High School. She is a real outgoing person and plans to fight this against all odds.

Hope to see everyone there and we do need some volunteers to assist with the Road Course Laps.

So anyone else to be on the lookout for? This is going on this Sunday at No Problem.

Sigforty, Go Cart, vant, look me up I'll be in the yellow C5 Z. Should be easy to find I'll be one of the pace cars. Everyone that can come on out and "pass a good time."

It was a fun event. Nice to see you again Tom. Would you believe I made it all the way to the Quarterfinals.

[KJN VET]

Yes I was pulling for you. I lost the 1st round, but still had a great time. Would you believe I ran through a tank of gas on the road course. Congrats on the Quarterfinals Mark!

I wish I could have made it. Sounds like a fun time. Let us know about future events, Sigforty.

Wow, I am surprised you used that much fuel. I know I always bring and extra 5 gallons just in case. I appreciate the support. Would you believe those times I was running were on 3 broken spark plugs? I just pulled the plugs yesterday to do a compression test and found 3 of them were broken missing the ground strap and one missing the cermaic insulator.

I will definitely keep the events in this area posted. I know there is a car show coming up in April.
