Viper Drag Racing Columbus OH, Aug 6

[pauls]

I've been away for a while but it looks like the V10 deal isn't happening for the full tour this year.
The Ohio VCA partnered with David last year for a race, AutoX and Drifting at National Trail Raceway in Columbus. The Ohio VCA has hosted the Viper Nationals at Norwalk in Sept but moved our big event to Columbus in 04 to get on the V10 schedule.

In the absence of a National tour we want to host a major Viper event again in 05. Ohio is prepared to put $2000 towards a purse and the promoter of the Neo Fest Event will throw in $1000. $3000 Purse.

Now the question for discussion is the format. We can run an index system like Boggs, use the Supercar Challenge classes or create a limited class structure.

My thought is to use the V10 format you pick a class and associated index. We'd have class run offs (for classes with two or more cars) leading to a Top Eliminator for the money. Everyone races handicapped against your class index. Winner and RU split the purse. Some cash for low ET, low ET on street tires plus combined low ET from drags and AutoX.

Last year we had 42 Vipers racing. Who’s in for 2005?

I'm in!
I'd prefer the V-10 Nats format too.


Isn't there a viper/vette thing at Maple Grove on the 6th?

I see David has Ohio on the Schedule for June in a thread on the Alley. I think Aug will work better for Vipers. The June event is shared with a major Mopar meet=less track time.

Roll bar requriement? It killed most participants for the VVC.

!#@$!@## I'm getting married that day.

I guess I'll have to move the wedding back.

Columbus event was very liberal with roll bars in 04. We tech ourselfs. All the hitters were there, no problems.

Paul:

last year the autox and combined drags were a zoo due the slow tech inspection and coordination of the two racing events. Would it be possible to have separate days (maybe Friday for autox), or start the autox earlier. This is supposed to be fun, somehow all the rushing around killed that.

Even if you don't race your car, I assume with all the Vipers on hand, this will be a cool event to attend! Is there a show and shine along with the racing?

 

[pauls]

Jack we got one day, Saturday. Friday night is a test and tune. We can run the street tire shoot out on Friday night.
If we have some more volunteers we can get things done a lot faster.
There will be a Viper Car show with Trophies for 1,2 and 3

 

[Simms]

I should be able to convince another 4-5 PA vipers to attend.
