For $30 you can "Test and Tune" all day, and we can BBQ, I imagine, if someone wants to get those Burgers and Hot Dogs rolling!

Barona "Truck" Drag Meet Update!

I just got off the phone with the Barona Drag Strip Director, Tony.

If we get 10 or more trucks to show up, and if we are interested, Tony can set up a "Gambler Event" for us! What's a "Gambler Event" ? Well, we all get together in the morning and decide how much each person wants to contribute to the "Pot" (i.e. $10, $20, whatever we agree too). Then we make our runs on a ladder system based on our Bracket (time we select). So the way that goes is: A person decides what his 1/8th mile time is, then, his goal is to get as close to that time, without going over. Now, if I were to pick an 1/8th mile time of 7.5 sec, then a perfect run would be a 7.5. Got it. Purse is a 60/40 split. 60% going to the winner, 40% going to the runner up.

Also, Tony said that if this is your first time at a Drag Strip, he will line you up singles or (by yourself) until you get comfortable with the process. If you want , of course.

He also noted that, at a very min, we should get 10 runs in per person, and that the least populated times were right at 10a.m. and around 4p.m.

very cool!
