Drag Racing at BG

[FU]

Talked with Dallas the track owner. Good to hear from an ole buddy and glad he is doing well. The new's is a such , we can book Thursday May 15th.

Price is 1500.00 for up to 8 car's running, limited timer's if any and no safety crew etc. We may be able to squeeze in more than 8 with the 1500.00 deal.

Price is 2500.00 for the day with timer's ambulance crew etc.

Don't think that these price's are high. I rented the track for the day with my group in the 90's for the same amount of money.

Claim it now. Or we loose it !

Tell me what you guy's want to do. I'm just the messenger , right Bozz ?

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I'm srtictly a spectator but I can really appreciate all of your hard work, Frank. Great job, no mater what's decided.

[ZZZZZR1]

Will start reading out to our Drag Racers and get a count!

Please post up if you are interested!!!

:salute:

David

[Ronstar]

I'd like to drag race if we have enough interest and we don't need roll bars, driveshaft hoops etc.

[ZZZZZR1]

Ok. We have a 441 automatic coming to tear the track up!

So far... 4

Who else is in?

:cheers:

David

[Fully Vetted]

So, that's $188 per person for 8 cars. If we squeeze in 10 it's $150 each. I only wanted to make a couple of passes which makes that pretty high on a per pass basis. I think I'll have to be a spectator.

Seeing as how I don't know how to drag race.....:o.....I'll spectate & cheer you racers on to some awesome E.T.'s!

[FU]

Come on guy's. Support the club and lets make a few passes enjoy some camaraderie and maybe some food. Drink later.
These things don't ET any way. Do it for the fun. Do it for the club. I'm donating to each drag racing participant a nice embroidered polo shirt.
Do it for me ! Oh wait that isn't goin any where..........do it for your Country.

Don't stay home and grease Wheeze !

Post up !!

As I told David in an email, I am in but not yet certain I can get down Wednesday night. I will try and expect to and should know shortly. But questions: can we have more than 8 cars? What if several unregistered cars show up and want to run and pay a fee? How much time will we have? When would it start, etc.? Inquiring minds....Bob

[FU]

May be I can answer your questions Bob.
Can we have more than 8 cars? Yes
What if several unregistered cars show up and want to run and pay a fee? More the merrier , let's play !
How much time will we have? Plenty of time , not trying to be a wise guy either.
When would it start, etc.? @ 2-3 pm

We should make a move on reserving the track asap. The diesel boy's all ready want it. They knocked us out last year. Then didn't want us running with them !

[FU]

One more thing.........spectators ? You want to watch ? WTF ? Get behind the wheel and have fun with the car ! That's what these cars were built for.

If some one dosen't feel they can drive "good". Just remember we all started some time. Start now.

Car's with sticky tires and plenty of horsepower are prone to breakage. Most of us don't have to worry about that.

Life is short , enjoy life to it's fullest while ya can !

Just make sure I didn't miss anything, Frank--Thursday is May 16, not the 15th. I could not get there to race on May 15 but I can get there for Thursday May 16 racing. Plan to arrive Wednesday 3/15 late afternoon. --Bob

[FU]

Hopefully the club back's me up on this deal (cough-cough) A lot of time is invested in this. Dallas the track owner is a good ole boy , we know each other for a long time and I'd hate to waste his time.
And yes Bob racing would be on the 16th.

[Jagdpanzer]

Got to see what the new motor can do so count me in.

BG looks good ,but I will not be able to attend this year. Other events
will be be taking up most of my time. I have a trip to Lodi , new Jersey to
celebrate my Sister (Sister Mary Bridget ) Golden jubilee of consecrated life.
This takes place the first week in Arpil.
I my be able make BG next year. I'll see how its goes.

I've never had mine on any kind of track and it's close to stock (Marc's chip and a new Corsa system). This is getting very tempting however. What type of safety gear is required? Does the cost go down as the number of participants go up?

[WARP TEN]

Since this is a ZR-1/C4/Grand Sport Registry event at BG, don't any of them want to drag race? Has anyone been in contact with the other groups? Or is this just ZR-1-ers? I am surprised we couldn't get a fairly large group that wants to race. Perhaps to get the track for next year in advance. Curious. --Bob

[FU]

I may have to step up and take the bull by the horns here, Please post up if you will be running at Beech Bend on Thursday the 16th for a few hours. This will be informal drag racing. But fun none the less.
Please feel free to invite anyone to drag race with us.


Took the liberty of putting down the names of people that posted here. Let us know if you would like your name eliminated.

I'll refresh this post so we know how many people we have up to it.

PLEASE BE ADVISED :
The club is not backing us at the drag strip. This is beyond my control guy's.
WE are doing this on our own, I have to personally comitt to this event. If we don't get up 15 people we may not have any racing.
In the past I covered the cost for racing. Due to other thing's beyond my control (SANDY) I'm unable to cover this cost upfront. Need help !
As of 3/20/2013 we have :

1- Frank U.
2- Pete
3- Ronstar
4- Bob warp 10
5- Phil
6- msmoore
7- Kevin Costello
8- Fully Vetted
9-
THANK YOU ALL !




KUDOS go's out to Wayne Hale for trying to keep our drag racing alive ! Also too some one that used to be a driving force in the club that would like to remain unanimous due to political tensions.

I like this idea. I really don't want to trailer my car all the way back to Texas since I just got it back from Corey. I am interested in running, though, depending on price.

[msmoore]

Just curious, what would a respectable MPH be for a stock rookie in a 1/4 mile?

[FU]

Just curious, what would a respectable MPH be for a stock rookie in a 1/4 mile?

110 MPH would be good.

[dredgeguy]

110 MPH would be good.

Did my first 1/4 miles run last summer in Maryland with WAZOO. Black interior was a little brownish after the first few runs but started to get the hang of it. Did 8 runs total and hit my top speed on the last one. Just missed breaking into the 12 second range. Hit 13.03 at 113.23 and then the last run at 13.407 at 115.82.

Did that with Marc's chip and Corsa exhaust. Looking forward to April 27 with WAZOO when we go to the Mason Dixon dragstrip. Will be able to try out the new Hurst short shifter.

I don't understand why the club could not just borrow/gift Frank or whoever the money and each person drag racing pays it back to the club.

Frank,where do i send payment.

Liability...is why the club can't touch drag racing officially or even at a finger length - at least not as it stands. HOWEVER, if some one or group of y'all want to arrange racing w/ the Beach Bend people on your own - totally apart from anything associated with the club, that would be your business.

I'd offer to put it on my credit card, but a work stoppage nix'ed that. Well, I have to keep my powder dry now. Even my BG trip looks pretty "iffy" at this point. But, perhaps someone else might consider a similar arrangement so drag racing could take place w/o the club's involvement? Hope so!

P.

[FU]

Workin on it with Mr. JVD , who will be hosting his southern Kentucky BBQ.......and will do everything we can to not let anyone down guy's.

1- There is NO liability, and you know that Paul. Do you sign a waver when drag racing ? You race at your own risk.

2- When someone rent's the track. They rent the entire track and do as they please with it. There is no sneaking in etc. (cough). This is how business is done with gentelmen like Dallas.

[FU]

Update 3/26 Look's like we have the track from 1-4pm on Thursday 5/16/2013. We can get the track for a longer period of time , but I see no need too.

[msmoore]

Based on the current number of participants, what would the cost be per car?

[FU]

Based on the current number of participants, what would the cost be per car?

This event is still in it's early stages, we need everyone to stick together and help each other in order to pull this off. To answer your question...100.00 hopefully.
We are doing this drag racing on our own without any help from the club.

[FU]

Is there any one else that want's to Drag Race at Beech Bend on Thursday ?

We may have to abandon the Drag Racing on Thursday if we don't get more participant's.

[Ronstar]

Come on guys! This is gonna be a blast. How often do you get to open it up without risk of speeding tickets, cross traffic or pedestrians. I don't see how you guys can pass this up. What about you Robert and the rest of the ZOOM guys...you in?

[Fully Vetted]

Not sure if you counted me since I was on the fence but count me in if we can get it done for $100. Any more than that and I'll have to tap into my mod money. And THAT is the 8th deadly sin.

[ZZZZZR1]

Wayne Hale and I are in for $100 each

I'll race you DJ but since you have cams and gears I'll need about a 20 ft spot ;)

P.

after brief consultation with my lawyer, the belief is the clubs *** would be covered with a simple wavier.

[Fully Vetted]

I would think that since this is just a bunch of friends getting together and renting the track and that it is not an actual club sponsored event that there would not be an issue. Especially since everyone is going to sign a waiver anyways. The Club is not present. It's just a bunch of individuals.

[FU]

If I decide to pull the drag racing event off this year , it will be the last year that I will get involved with this. The club will be on it's own with this decision.

Way too much drama for my liking :blahblah:

Frank, we certainly all appreciate your efforts on this. But I agree that someone organizing the gathering on behalf of the Registry should arrange for racing well in advance--like now?--so that we can get a large group lined up for next year's gathering. However, I fully understand that we may have too small a group at next year's gathering to make financial sense of renting the track or some time on it. How come the "diesel guys" seem able to get the track for our weekend and we can't? Just more people? Anyway, if you get it going I am in for this year on Thursday.--Bob

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Just thinking out loud here. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FINANCIALS.......

How many events does the Registry really have to spend money on each year?

Gathering and maybe Carlisle?? Other events that I'm leaving out???

Would it seem to be asking too much for the Registry to pay for the track day during the Gathering? I apologize to the Board if my question is out of line.

Sincerely,
Brett

[Pete]

Bob (warp ten) has nothing to do with how many people it's if you have the cash track is yours.

If you pay for the weekend you could race all by yourself the whole track is yours, in this case cash talks.

How/who did drag racing event 10-15 years ago,didn't the club do it?

Frank thanks what your doing for us.
Sorry that some of the big guns/big cash guys won't be there this year.

Frank i'm in and as you know i will give more if need be.

Pete

[Kevin]

back in the early 2000's when we didn't have a club, other then the .net (the list serve it wasn't a registry then) a member bank rolled it. I don't see the need for that to happen now since the club is siting on nearly $40,000 in assets as of dec 2012

[Pete]

So this has something to do with this insurance thingy.

So does this mean when the club has BBQ's and someone gets food poisoning they can sue the club,WTF.

If so then we all need to sign release forms.:salute:

Pete

[RHanselman]

I think I brought up the INS thing years ago when I was the VP. I had learned lots from putting on the events at Nellis AFB.

BL - there is Club Insurance you can buy to cover all your high performance and normal club events. As I remember it wasn't too bad it just took some legwork to get it done.

And because we seem to have lot's of excess cash in the till we should consider buying our own policy...

What I ended up doing for the Nellis events was to piggy back on the SCCA and the local car clubs that had policies in place. Was just too easy that way...

Cheers,
RH

[A1990]

Let me interject my thoughts into this subject. These opinions are strictly my own and not that of the Board of Directors.

1) First and foremost I would love to see drag racing at the Gathering

2) The Registry has never paid for drag racing, the participants always paid for their racing.

3) For $1500 the track could be rented without safety equipment, without track prep and without timing devices. This amount was for initially 8 racers, then it became 8-10, then may we could sneak a few more on if we didn't make a scene. I have seen maybe 8 people say they are willing to drag race. For $2500 we would have all of the items listed above.

4) I am sure that Beech Bend does have insurance.

5) While the Registry does have assets of approximately $40,000, only $25,000 is in cash and belongs to all the members. Equally to those in Spain, Australia, California, Illinois, Kentucky and so on.

6) There is a test & tune on Saturday night available to all.

So the question becomes what responsibility does the Registry incur if it "pays" for the drag racing for the 1st time and what is the consequence if 15 cars race and something happens? Beech Bend's insurance will surely specify that we breached the contract by having more that 8 cars and they are out of the line of fire.

Keep in mind that we are not piggy-backing onto another event, onto another organizations responsibility, we would be doing this ourselves.

Should we have D&O insurance? Absolutely!

Shouldn't this event have been planned and done correctly so that the $2500 option taken? Absolutely.

Should the entire membership fund this event? I don't know...

The proposal presented to the Board was that the Registry fund at least in part (50% was likely) drag racing on a track without safety equipment, without timing devices, without track prep and to exceed the number of people in the contract.

I want drag racing, but I couldn't say "yes" to that.

So the question really comes down to should we pay $2500 to do it right?

[Kevin]

what else will be done with that $25,000?

[bodak1]

$1500 is a little pricey. Realistically with 3 hrs of track time we could easily have 30 cars running. It would be great if the Registry would underwrite a little of this so that those who say they don't know how to drag race could be encouraged to participate. This is, and should be, a low pressure, fun opportunity to see what your car can do. The more participation we can get, the better.http://www.zr1.net/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

[bodak1]

Frank you can count me in. I agree with you however-I'm not liking the lack of support from our Registry board.

[LancePearson]

Bodak,
Actually, I think that the registry is doing fine on this one with their posture.

There is a finite amount of time, energy and money available to all the officers to do this stuff and for the time in Kentucky so the volunteer effort seems sensible enough for those who do want to drag race their Z's.

Everyone who owns one of these cars has their own reasons for enjoying them and while we all appreciate what the other is doing it doesn't mean that we want to do it ourselves. In my case I can speak to the point that watching Pete's car and other Z's drag is interesting but it is not an interest that I am willing to commit time, attention, resources and wear and tear on the car to just speaking for myself.

If you asked me what I'd like it would be a 150 mile ride on twisty roads full of people who enjoy doing that with the Z's, maybe even a time trial. For whatever it's worth if I were going to drag race the whole idea of a quarter mile seems like insufficient for these cars. The 1/2 mile drags starting to proliferate seem to make more sense and even more some of the longer runs like a mile in conjunction with the Big Bend Open Road Race make even more sense for these cars to show all their stuff, not just short runs from a line acceleration.

I think it's fantastic for those who enjoy drag racing but to me it's just one of the various slices of what we can do with these fantastic cars and one that does not necessarily resonate with everyone. If there were enough interest then more cars attending would have signed up which is a fair indicator of the level of interest among those attending. It would be fun to watch a couple 415's run for me but I've seen the Youtubes of Pete's and some others and think those 11+ second runs are terrific.

Now, a 150 mile time trial road race over interesting roads or attending the pre drive through the Smokies if I were coming from the west, now that's fun to me.

To each his own is my response and the club can't support every item in my view so they are doing fine with the judgment on funding.

Heck, I think it would be neat to drive the Fort Stockton Firestone test track as a group for ten or twenty laps some time if Bridgestone would let us to re create part of the March, 1990 175.885 mile drive but I know right now I'd never ship my car that far to do it...just an interesting idea with lots of barriers preventing it.

Lots of ways to use these guys.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

While I don't drag race, I do like to see the enjoyment that others get from it. It would be a shame for us at the event to miss out on the action. It's one of the few times that members get to meet and create memories.

Sure I enjoy being part of the "group" with my annual $35. But besides the T-shirt, sticker, card, and a few beers at the hotel, I'd really like to see us support the Drag Race event.

I'd also support a run at Ft. Stockton!!

Just my .02. :cheers:

[Kevin]

i'm not even going and have no problem wiht my 35$ getting spent to rent the track. we've always had drag racing at bg...no reason not to have it now. I still remembering John Lingenfelter hooning Norms 368 TT down the track

[Pete]

Holy crap you guys are harsh.

The club is trying to protect the club if the club pays they are responsible even if we sign wavers i'm sure some hot shot attorney can find some loop hole to sue the club and then no more club.
As most of you know we are a sue happy country filled with sue happy attorneys.


The club never payed for drags it was always one club member the racers would pay back at BG.:fahne:
This is nothing new.
So don't be so hard on the club.

Hope you guys don't expect fireworks at the drags i will be there with street tires and no trailer so like Frank said just do some MPH passes
i could do some killer burnouts,i also need the car to bring me back home.:cheers:

Pete

PS.
Can someone loan me $1500 i'll gladly pay you back most of it on Thursday May 16th

[tomtom72]

If you want to drag race how much per man Frank?

I'm willing to kick in, if we are short on head count, as a participant if this would get us over the top on head count & make it happen???

Brett - Did you just qoute yourself?

I think the participants should pay, not the club. But a good compromise may be that the club pay for the safety equipment, track prep, etc, etc... What was the difference, $1000?

I don't know why we'd even want to do it without timing lights, track prep and safety equipment.

Drag Racing is not as easy as one might think especially in a ZR-1.

Why is it one driver can 0-60 0-100 or 1/4 faster then the next guy.

The Z is tricky compared to other cars
Reaction time.
Coordinating clutch/throttle from a stand still/control from spinning out.
Shift points foot,hand,eye coordination.
Hit the shifts as fast as you can and on time.
Make sure each shift hits next gear,how many can power shift into 3rd.:)
Doing all this while keeping the car from doing a 360.

It's the only way to keep our ZR-1's real, shows your power level and driver skill.

Why is it one driver can 0-60 0-100 or 1/4 faster then the next guy.

The Z is tricky compared to other cars
Reaction time.
Coordinating clutch/throttle from a stand still/control from spinning out.
Shift points foot,hand,eye coordination.
Hit the shifts as fast as you can and on time.
Make sure each shift hits next gear,how many can power shift into 3rd.:)
Doing all this while keeping the car from doing a 360.

It's the only way to keep our ZR-1's real, shows your power level and driver skill.

Yeah....Just ask Dominic!

Dom, if you're reading this, I just saw a C6 make a "left turn" on a re-run of "PINKS". Made me think of your experience. Scary!!

Frank, I'll pitch in $100 just to watch, if it'll help pay for the track?

Brett

I'll join the $100 club with the other two if someone will make a youtube or record some way of me seeing the competition? :cheers:
