MSiska,
Wish I were home to enjoy the event. Sounds like this will be pretty nice. Enjoy yourself if you go.

What are the rules and classes, if any?

I'm sure that you'd be welcome to rip a few Vipers!!

So, basically, anything goes? No rules? A Super Gas Vette car is fair game?

I'm just trying to understand it better before I make the commitment to go. I'd hate to show up and have tech turn me back because of non-approved power adder or tire or something else.

Hey, Mike...can you post the same information here? ... so we don't have to go "over there"
I'm going to try to talk the wife into going over ... I think she'll enjoy it.
Dunno if I'll run ... I'm still wary from heating my clutch last fall ... . tho I haven't had any problems since, including the spook.

Denny...try this one...

Hokay, Mike.
I'll send the flyer out to the G-Burg Club members, see if I can shake somebody out to run.

Hey All,

I've been lurking here for a bit, just doing searches, reading on topics, etc. The meet was lots of fun, although I'm still having a considerable amount of trouble launching the car. I would like to specially thank Ranger for taking the time to describe launching techniques and general drag racing knowledge (although I proved to be a poor study), in addition to demonstrating to me how to do a burn-out (incidentally, I met Ranger a couple of years back when I had a '99 Cobra - it was from him where I first heard about using Active Handling could be on the drag strip as an extra precaution).

Despite my stuggles with the car (my Cobra was so much easier to launch, even on all-season tires), it was a good deal of fun - it was great to see so many 'Vette owners out there.

Pit Viper, what did you run, was it the yellow viper? Were you the one with Ranger doing the burnout while the track was paused? Inquiring minds want to know
