  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Ight fellas been dragging my feet,..my apologies,..

    RULES ARE THE SAME FOR THIS YEAR,......CAN BE FOUND BELOW !

    EXCEPT THERE WILL BE A $75 BUY IN

    THIS IS BEING DONE SIMPLY BECAUSE THE VENDORS THAT TAKE OUR MONEY AREN'T VERY HELPFUL WHEN IT COMES GIVING BACK,....NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT,...IF YOU'RE A VENDOR AND READING THIS THEN OH WELL.

    A FEW OF THE SAME GREAT COMPETITORS HAVE BEEN THE BACK BONE OF THE PAYOUTS FOR TOO LONG,....

    SO ITS TIME EVERYONE HELPS

    HUGE THANKS TO CODY OF GAMBLES PERFORMANCE FOR HIS UNWAVERING AND GRACIOUS SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION AS WELL AS STEVE REYNOLDS OF "SRE" THESE GUYS SET A GREAT OF EXAMPLE OF HOW A VENDOR HELPS GIVE BACK,.......COUPONS AND DISCOUNTS ARE NOT WANTED YOU CAN KEEP THEM!

    THESE GUYS BUY YOUR PARTS AND PROVIDE FREE ADVERTISING EVERY TIME THEY GO DOWN THE TRACK AND HAVE THE HOODS POPPED IN THE PITS,....A COUPLE HUNDRED REWARD FOR THAT TO COMPENSATE SOME EXPENSES IS SMALL POTATOES,....SO STEP UP AND HELP INCREASE THE PAYOUT TO INCREASE THE PARTICIPATION WHICH BUILDS COMPETITION WHICH MAKES YOUR PHONE RING!!!!

    IF THIS HASN'T EXPLAINED THE NEED FOR THE BUY IN WELL ENOUGH YOU ARE FREE TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT,...

    GSR IS THE CLASS,..ITS THE ONE EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE,..PARTICIPATE IN,...WE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND GET FASTER,...BE A PART OF WHAT COULD BE THE LAST HURAHH FOR BUICK PERFORMANCE.

    If you come to the event not meeting the rules or with some sketchy looking ride I will call you out on it and you will need to find another class no exceptions,...the other competitors have worked too hard to be ranked with lesser quality or un safe competitors,...no it isn't a carshow BUT the clapped out bracket car junk NEED NOT APPLY,.....CAN'T MAKE THAT ANY MORE CLEAR

    PAYOUTS

    WILL BE EVER-CHANGING as they have been the last several years I have surprise donors/sponsors every year. Rest assured you stand to win more cash with us than ANY OTHER V8 CLASS,....

    Cody of GAMBLES PERFORMANCE will be our main sponsor as he has been for a few years now. CASH NO COUPONS HERE FELLAS
    $900 to the winner
    $100 runner up
    $100 fastest qualifier

    As I get more info regarding the payouts I'll put them here

    STEVE REYNOLDS OF "SRE" has once again stepped up as he always has with $500 CASH to the winner!!

    Mark Busher Jr has stepped up with $200 CASH to the winner,...thanks bud!

    Advantage Trailer will be giving a set of four trailer tires to the winner as they have graciously done in the past,..thanks to Dan Rocco and his employer for this!!

    ALSO,..IF CAR COUNT PERMITS THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE A BUMP THIS YEAR,....AS MUCH I APPRECIATE A SOLID AND CONSISTENT 12.50 DRIVE ANYWHERE COMBO,....WHEN THE MAJORITY OF THE FIELD IS 11.50 AND FASTER IT PROVIDES AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE,....SO KEEP IN MIND ITS POSSIBLE TO NOT BE QUICK ENOUGH,...IF THIS HAPPENS DONT GET DISCOURAGED JUST GET FASTER!! THATS THE GOAL A SOLID 16 TO 20 CAR FIELD OF WHEELS UP 8,9, AND 10SEC RIDES DOIN BATTLE

    Ethan,

    I would suggest a link to the GSR rules, either on the board here from last year, or where ever else they might be in print.

    Racer meeting time and place?
    Day and time for qualifying?
     
  9. hugger

    hugger Well-Known Member

    All that is answered in the rules,..but there is no tire restrictions,.....I do request that a solid effort be made to carpet or paint the tubs and ant other aluminum panels

    Official Qualifications are friday,...there will be a minimum of two qualifiers,..usually there will be at least one on Sat to adjust for weather,...possibly two,..depending on how smoothly everything goes

    Your fastest is your dial in,...PERIOD,...no discussions about it,..if that happens on a low DA Friday and it goes to pot on Sat,...oh well,..adjust best you can

    Racer meeting will happen Sat morning in the circletrack,..pretty much dead center,...I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PIT IN THE CIRCLE TRACK,....THATS WHERE MOST THE GSR competitors will be anyway,..and that's the best location to hear and see when we are called,....WE WILL RUN BEHIND SUPER 16 ,....SO WHEN YOU HEAR OR SEE THOSE GUYS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE CIRCLE TRACK,....YOU NEED TO DO THE SAME!

    I DONT HOLD THE LANES,...IF YOU'RE NOT PRESENT OR SOMEONE FOR YOU IS PRESENT AT THE MEETING,...YOU DON'T RUN

    IF YIU WANT TO RUN SUPER 16 AND GSR,..GREAT,..BUT IM NOT STALLING FOR YOU IF YOUR NOT BY YOUR PREDETERMINED PAIR YOU'RE OUT,....

    Beech bend has a piss poor PA system,...so don't count on hearing about a meeting or running and have time to get up there.

    I do my best to talk to all competitors as I like to look the car over if I don't know it,...so chances are you'll see me b4 each time we run to let you know when we're going down again
