Default Put up or Shut up RPR track event April 5th 2013 6pm

This is it... come on down and let's do some racing... April 5th, 2013,6 PM Next Friday, royal purple raceway. 1.5 weeks away so everyone get your cars together and get to the track. This will be heads up racing, no times slip needed. You think your fast.. you better show me because I could careless what your dyno/tuner/paper build/friends/ or momma says it will do.. put up or shut up. I will set races up on this post to keep it straight.. I will run 8 times in a row and hot lap the car for all I care.. All you people talk about me not racing anybody and i'm slow... COME ON DOWN!!!! TURBOGIEST... BRING YOUR RUNNING SHOES TOO.. ITS GONNA HAPPEN!!!

EVERYONE TRY TO GET THERE EARLY AS ITS BEEN POINTED OUT THAT THE TRUCKS SHOW UP AND RUIN THE TRACK IN THE EVENING TIMES.

also, I will try to bring some chairs and a table/ice chest and have a nice area where we can hang out afterwards unless you people get your feeling hurt before hand.

Heads up races to be run:

Joshtownsend vs Turbogiest
P1BZ vs World

Is this a rental or is normal NHRA tech going to be enforced? I'm working overseas and only curious just to clarify. This would be a good chance for guys to test again before TI.

Locked In as long as it lives through the beating that I'm going to give some supercharged cars this weekend.

Are you sure you don't want to switch your setup to turbos? You would have a better chance.

What type of distance are you wanting on the easy race so I can pick which shoes to bring?

I'll put my car up against any car here... But when you get 30 mpg going to the track, race, drive it back home 50 miles and go do a 200 mile cruise the next day, i'm game to compete... oh, and do it on 87 octane with a 4000 lb 6 sp vert.. yeah.. that too..haha

One of these days I'm coming to the east coast's magic DA. Until then, it's testing in the nasty July air in Oklahoma.

It would be nice to race in -DA. It would be better to watch some of the east coast guys that think they are they hottest **** ever go race At TRP On the average 6000ft summer day.
