2016 Dirty Dozen Challenge Shoot-Out

[THE DOZEN MASTER]

It's getting close to that time folks! We are looking at doing this on Oct. 14th at E20, with the 21st as the rainout date. The venue can be changed to Kil Kare, and the date to the 13th, with the rainout being the 20th, if that's what the majority wants. Kil Kare typically has better track prep but E20 is quite a bit closer for a lot of you. Let us know where you'd prefer to run at. We are looking to have a cash drawing again and possibly some other prizes/swag. Hoping to see a lot of 'Bangerz out there having a good time and tearing it up! (not literally) :D Here are a few rules for the night, same as last year, so if you ran this last year you know what to expect.

1. Anyone not at the shoot out risks losing their spot.
2. All challenges at the shoot-out must be raced that evening, refuse a challenge and lose your spot.
3. Open to all list participants and all challengers that are on the board and have tags and insurance.
4. Challenge anyone at any spot on the list, if you win, you take their spot and the loser moves down a spot, and bumps everyone below.
5. The challenged member gets to call the coin flip for lane choice.
6. For the guys that are really fast and don't have a cage, work with them on running 1/8 mile if possible.
7. The cash pot drawing happens at the end of the race night and only for those who are present and on the list.
8. Run heads up.
9. The race coordinator's say is final. He will flip the coin, he calls who gets lane choice by the flip, hears the choice and places the cars, he also calls the winners of the races. The coordinator has a co-coordinator that will call his races and flips.
10. At the end of the night, after the drawing, the list is frozen til next spring when the first track opens, then it starts all over again!
11. Have fun! Race! Get our name out there! Be safe!

Good luck to all and let's have some fun! :bigthumb

As much as I like Kilkare's track surface and how its closer for me, I think the chance of pulling it off there is impossible. Id have to say Edgewater is the place to go.

Ill be there for sure either way. It was a good time last year for those that didn't make it.

[redfirepearlgt]

E20 I agree as well. Would gladly do KK if they would only open their eyes to running a Friday night TT. And like Brian mentioned, I don;t know how we;d get it done at KK with the extreme favoritism given to bracket racers. We sat over 2 hours this spring in line as the track allowed bracket racers to make 2-3 passes before opening our lanes for the first pass.

10/14 will work. I believe the cash drawing should be held off until the Cruise In in Sunday 10/16 and all 12 finalist required to be present for the drawing.

[draggin50]

The problem with waiting on the drawing till the cruise is that some that are at the track won't be at the cruise and some at the cruise won't be at the track.

[Hensley32]

Edgewater is fine with me!

[2Fast4You]

E20 for me and the drawing done that evening, I agree that not everyone that can make it for the final race will be capable off making it to the cruise in.

[draggin50]

^^^ Never shows up!!!

[draggin50]

Well, sometimes! Sorry Shayne!

[2Fast4You]

You suck Brian...
I'm at the track all of the time.

[redfirepearlgt]

You suck Brian...
I'm at the track all of the time.

Must be referring to playing the horses or being at the Olympics because I didn't see that race car at the E20 track once in August and I was there every Friday...HAR HARDEE HAR!

[2Fast4You]

I was at the track in August, just didn't have the car.

[kennebellcobra]

E20 is fine with me.

[redfirepearlgt]

Shayne - I thought you were in Michigan or coaching all of August. LOL! BTW spectating us guppies doesn't count. LOL!

[2Fast4You]

Just the first two weekends of August Chad.

[draggin50]

Shane you better be ready for a comp orange cobra on the 14th! It's coming for the #1 spot!!

[2Fast4You]

Who's ready, bring the cars on...

[draggin50]

Hope we get some good weather. Im bringing mine down. Not looking for anything impressive but Ill enjoy making some passes!

[draggin50]

Who all is planning on making it out???

[redfirepearlgt]

I'll be there. You can count on that. Axletubes are welded up, replaced the axle and carrier bearings (THANKS S&M MOTORSPORTS! YOU ROCK ADAM!), and car is looking to ingest some thousand foot air. Probably will get shut down at the first 10.9x pass since I was warned to slow it down or park it last time I was down. I'll save that pass for a last ditch effort to stay on the list. Got to swing buy Adam's and pay him his just deserved presidents since its just a little off the path on the way there Friday night.

[Hensley32]

Put a cage in it an go as fast as you want!! Problem solved.

[redfirepearlgt]

^^^ Next project...after some weight reduction to offset it.

[2Fast4You]

I'll be there for sure!

[S281SC]

I will be there... likely to be the last time out for the year... and the weather looks like it will be great!!

[cyah92]

I want on the list so I'm going to try to get my car tuned up. See everyone there

[draggin50]

Mike wont be able to make it tonight so Ill be filling in his shoes.

At the end of the night we will do the drawing and whoever wins, Mike will give the prize to them later on.

Everyone who wants in tonight or wants a shot at the list, get with me and Ill be taking names down and trying to keep track of all the action tonight.

[2Fast4You]

Who is the video tech for this evening?

[draggin50]

Ok, Ill try to get most of this straight!!! If I screw it up, let me know!

There was 8 people there tonight racing. 2Fast4U, Kennebellcobra, Redfirepearlgt, S281, Hensley32, 331TwistedWedge, and myself. Also a Trans Am owned by a guy named Nick.

Ricky broke a clutch on his first pass putting him out for the night. S281 had an intake failure, putting him out.

It started out with me racing Shannon for the #2 spot. I went red trying to make a quick get away. 10.02@135.44 to my 10.22@137.55 Give the #2 spot to KennebellCobra.

Then I raced Chad. We was both green and it was a good race. I won with a 10.17@138.84 to Chads 10.82@129.25. I am still #3 and Chad is #4

Chad raced Nick in the Trans Am for the #4 spot but Im not sure who won this one. I will get with Chad tomorrow for clarification. So Chad is either #4 or #5.

Shayne then raced Shannon a couple times which was very close. Shayne took the win in both keeping his #1 spot.

For the drawing, I put the names of everyone who was there in Shannons hat and Shaynes kid drew the name. It was Nick with the Trans Am.

Now I talked to a ton of people and watched a lot of racing so like I said, I may have some of this messed up. Im not sure if Nick is a member on here or not since I don't think I talked to him. It was a busy night! I took a few pictures and Eric was there and got some video. I will post those up tomorrow.

It was great seeing everyone who came out. Sucks that Ricky had issues. I know he has had his share lately.

[redfirepearlgt]

Nick won due to my -.086 red light. Thought I had fixed that problem. Guess that problem creeps back in like "the shanks" suddenly show up in a golfer's swing. He is on this board just hasn't posted here in a long time. Shannon knows his site name.

[NXcoupe]

Sounds like i missed a great time!

[2Fast4You]

It was fun, enjoyed seeing and talking to everyone as well.

[nskaats]

Good seeing everyone last night. That was my orange Formula. I'm still a member on here, just been MIA from the forum world forever.

[draggin50]

Ok. I saw the car but I couldn't put a face with the name. It was a busy night! Good to draw ya back in!

[cyah92]

Damn good racing. Congrats to all

[redfirepearlgt]

Good seeing everyone last night. That was my orange Formula. I'm still a member on here, just been MIA from the forum world forever.

welcome back. don't be a stranger.

[nskaats]

I'll definitely be around more. I took some time away from everything for a few years after my divorce and job nonsense a while back. Now that I have a new combination together I plan to have it out quite a bit more.

So what did I win last Friday?

[redfirepearlgt]

^^^ PM NXcoupe. He is the holder of the prize. Usually cash of some level.

BTW Don't forget that 50/50 split agreement for me red lighting on ya. LOL!
