It sounds like a lot of fun either way. I need another excuse to take lots of pics after I get back from Winter Jam. :D Let's put something together! Is this a one day event or is it longer?

"Is this a one day event or longer?"

It is actually 3 events over 2 days...during the day Saturday is the Ecklers National Corvette Challenge with the largest purse of any all Vette drag race ever...Saturday night is the Gamblers race and Sunday is the Clash of the Titans, Tuner Shootout during the day...btw, both Saturday races DO allow street tires.... :thumbs:

Geogrphic wise where is this in the state of SC...I mean if the SMC group is going would they have to drive by Charlotte to get down there? I'm all for a little caravan, shoot I'll even stay over on Saturday night. If we caravan then maybe we leave at around 6 amd from Charlotte.

BTW: Is there a car show as well?

:troll Sandi & I are planning to go. I talked with Violator last night and he is considering it. I had planned to post a thread for interested SMC'ers but was going to wait until after the first of the month. Why don't you go ahead and post one. There is a list of hotels on the Dragstrip website. :cheers: :cheers:

Feb 21st, okay, if you guys let a lowly old clean stock C4 cruise with you, I'll go. Is it friendly for Corvette Parking?

Just contact Redgar...he'll put you on... :thumbs: ..there is no list for the Gamblers race on Saturday night...the track runs it and it's open to all comers...if 50 racers sign up, the winner could get 7, 8 or $900.00.. :eek: ..the fun part of that race for me is you could line up against another vette or a super comp dragster or a local person in a 74 Olds 4 dr sedan...ya never know...I like it !
