Default Armdrop live

I'm planning on going to the ARMDROP LIVE event September 25-26 at Memphis Motorsports Park in Memphis, TN.
They say it the same as PINKS ALL OUT without the tv.
Just wondering if anyone here has attended any of these races.

Bill Wilson has and it is not exactly pinks all out without the tv.
it is without the 8k toolbox and without the 10k payout.

I think they have multiple individual classes so many more get to compete. They divy up the payout amongst the classes.

Default Pinks arm drop

Yea, I've been to two arm drop and recently the all out that we just did at Seattle on the 15th.
It has a different format, but still using a arm drop elimination. they run 2 days of which the first is test and tune/semi qualifying where the keep track of your times for the day. Next day they give you 2 actual qualifying times. Then they take the quick 8 which are put into a group. They will then split the 9sec. 10sec. 11sec. and 12sec. cars and select 16 cars from each grouping. The money is divided between each group, with the faster cars getting more to the winner of each.

Not quite as cool as the all out, but fun still. Just no T.V or drama.

Dave.

What I like about these events is that it only $40.00 for the 2 days, and the payout arn't bad.
