sounds like fun to me!!!
So basically for the eliminations, you get trophies for being 1st, 9th, and 17th.
Isn't there a better way of grouping?

One could purposely run slower at first to get into a slower group, then run hard during the actual eliminations to claim the trophy!

Nice Try Kenny but I don't think it would work because to win you'd have to stay at or outside your Est Time to Keep advancing and you wouldn't be able to hold back the AMG
Good comments guys, essentially you are correct - here are my comments:
This is true. But trying to be fair to those who who have slower cars, this way we can award prizes by heads-up racing. Otherwise we'd have to give all the prizes to the fastest cars and the slower cars would not win anything - unless we did bracket racing.So basically for the eliminations, you get trophies for being 1st, 9th, and 17th.
This is true. Things to consider:One could purposely run slower at first to get into a slower group, then run hard during the actual eliminations to claim the trophy!
- You will not know where you actaully stand in qualifying. So if you run slow, you may actually end up not making the eliminations (top 24).
- There's alwasy the risk of being #8 or #9. If you're #8, you're the slowest qualifying time of Group A so you're odds are not great. If you're #9 you're the fastest qualifier of group B, so odds are really good of winning a prize.
- And finally - and likely the deterrent of not running fake qualifying times - The prestige of winning a higher bracket or even qualifying in the top bracket (Qualifiers are marked by show polish which Group they are in). Also, Group A will likely end up with better prizes.
Who else is going? I wouldn't mind catching a ride.

There will also be a 2X Db Drag Event for all the loud car audio enthusiasts.
Hey Markis...
Will the show cars be allowed to race as well...but just for fun and not part of the event? they'll still be part of the show of course.
Anyone is allowed to race - (except muscle cars). The cost is $20 for each vehicle racing.
For example, if you have 4 teammates, 3 are racing, but 1 isn't, AND all four want to be judged in the showoff, then the cost is $20 each for the 3 racing, and $7 for the one who is not racing.
Confused?
I have a sponsor bringing in a Mustang Dyno on site for anyone who would like to dyno their ride as well.
You can check out the dyno here:

On a clear disk, you can seek forever...
damn....i hope i can go
why no muscle cars? thats pretty cowardly.a muscles car worth 5000 should have the right to lay it into 30000 ricers.
how would one go about winning the wildest ricer award??? *thinks about LED tailpipes and fly-by competitions*
If the colt 200 GT with papier mache and duct tape body kit shows up, it's a done deal. He wins.Originally posted by three.eighteen.
