Well I finally made it here! Hi guys!!!

Hello Christine..... welcome to the dark side

Thanks Steve! Now is that a good thing or a bad thing? Anyway thanks for the welcome. Does anyone know when the PRP forum will be up and running? We are trying to help AJ and Paul with the fire that happened at their garage. Would it be okay to post it here, and where should I post it? Would like some help on this one!

I’m sorry to hear about Betsy.
I would think the general discussion area would be the best place to post.

I'd like to say thanks to the people that are helping sponsor the tree race, and also thanks to Mark, Aj and Chuck, for the hassles they went through for putting it together.
It sounds like fun.
....besides what else are you going to doing the week after Groundhogs day?

Thanks Steve... I'm hoping we have a good turnout. Thanks to those who have already responded. And if you haven't yet, email me! Like Steve said... what else are you going to do???

I'm an Evan Knoll fan, for all the support he gives to drag racing. I was even more impressed when he rolled out the POW-MIA Vietnam Veteran's tribute car. But, he's also a huge Steelers fan. I had to dig back in the archives on Competition Plus, but I found the article:

Evan Knoll Super Bowl XL

thats a cool article Chuck. Isn't everyone a Steelers fan though.

Glenn, you're welcome to come up to PA in February. I'm sure you miss February PA weather, compared to FL's, right?

Thanks to Steve Vasbinder, for pointing out some things that needed clarified on the practice tree race. I've added them in, and the biggest is that roll out will be set for each racer.

Thanks to all who responded thus far. If you haven't, what are you waiting for???

Thanks to our sponsors:

Entry: $5 entry for everyone coming through the door. That entitles you to the food (fried chicken, some sides) and pop. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages($5 cover WILL still apply), but no alcohol please. This is a family oriented event, and there will be kids present.

Races:


Race 1 is $5 entry, race 2 is $20 entry, race 3 (if time allows) is $5 entry. All races will pay 50% to the winner, 25% to the runner up, 15% to the semis (split between the 2 racers), 10% to the quarters (split between the 4 racers). Only race 2 will have buybacks, for $5. We are not looking to make a dime on this. All money will be paid back 100%. If there's anything left after expenses, it will be put into the racing.

Rules: Round 1 in races 1 & 2 will consist of both racers hitting the tree twice as "time trials." Round 2 and on will have no time trials. All rounds with the exception of the final will be best of 3. Final round is best of 5. Race 3 will have 1 time trial in Round 1, with Round 2 and on having no time trials.

How to enter: "Tech cards" will be 50/50 type tickets, different colors for different races. Buy your "tech card" for each race you want to enter. Write your name CLEARLY on the ticket you hand in.

Pairings will be randomly drawn.

Bye runs will be randomly drawn at the beginning of the round.

Racing is off of the handheld button only.

Racing is off of the bottom bulb only.

The tree is full sized, with LED bulbs.

Tree will be in time trial mode, or, as if both racers have the exact same dial in.

Rollout will be able to be set for each racer.

The christmas tree decides all winners, ie, if 2 racers in competition have identical reaction times, the winner is the one whose lane is flashing on the tree.

If the purse allows, there will be a bounty. The bounty racer will be randomly drawn. If the bounty racer wins his/her round, they win the bounty. If the bounty racer's opponent wins, s/he wins the bounty.

Email Chuck at brotherhoodracing@yahoo.com if you are going to attend. We need to keep a head count to know how much food to get.

It's the 24th of January and the PRP is still not complete. It looks like a new company/person has taken over as the web site administrator too. And it also looks like there won't be a forum, so far. But it sure looks good in the IHRA's view ! Sure, the track is run by the Tedesco's,and they're doing a great job of that, but give the racers a place to discuss/vent/whatever ! It's supposed to be "family" so lets get a forum opened up again. Don't close the forum because of one or two individuals negative comments, ban their addy and let the rest of us "talk"

I'm with you, Dan. That's all I have to say about that.

I *think* the new forum will be up soon. It's nice that we have this over here, but 1) we seem to lose it for a week a month, which kills buzz, and 2), not all the local fans, racers, spectators, etc, know about this.

I hope everyone saw that banquet tix needed RSVP'd by Monday, January 28. It will be a good time.

I'm still waiting to for the forum. We will not be attending the banquet, it's my Uncle Eddy's surprise retirement party. The sad thing is that Aunt Karen will not be with us, she passed in August at the age of 61. Have fun guys!!

about the prp site i dont know who is running it now but i dabbled in some producing web sites over the years and my thought was why in the world would they upload a new site that was not and still not completed as of yet that is the stupedist thing i ever saw lets take down a perfectly good operational site and put up a non functining site now that makes sense

THanks to all who have rsvp'd so far for the practice tree race. If you're planning on coming and have not emailed me, please do so by Feb 1. We need to get our food order in and buy supplies, etc.
