Thank You Steve, it was a pretty good weekend!

Is anyone else noticing a pretty big 1/4 mile MPH difference lane to lane - like 4 mphHum
The 1000' mph seems very close.
The 1/4 Et seems to make sense but we are way faster Mph in the Lt lane, almost unbelievable mph. I'm assuming there is something on the front end of ours catching the one MPH clock that is not catching the other, just wondered if anyone has seen this?
thanks


Most important, keep the shiny side up

For few years for me. Only at 1/4. 1/8 and 1000' are same lane to lane. I even raised front of car with no change at 1/4. About 3-4 mph difference.

Does anyone know the schedule for august 15, 16, and 17th? Whats going on? If it is a bracket race that my family can participate in instead of a rock concert then I will tow my equipment to the track and set up camp. On PRP,s web it just say's tbd. Its only 3 weeks away. Why is it a big secret? It makes a big difference to me and my family because we have 4 racers and it becomes quite pricy to tow down for only one race. Why do they wait until a week before to post the changes? Why is everyone afraid to voice there opinion or ask a simple question on here?

I know for sure there will be no concert, just as there was no concert in June.

I don't think there's any secret going on. Greg won't make it a points day for sure, since it was never on the calendar/schedule.

Those dates are the days we have to move our trailers out under the pit space contract. Do we still have to move or has that changed? There's no mention of this on PRP's web or facebook. There is very little notices or info on either of these sites and I am not the only one concerned, there has been numerous complaints about the lack of or last minute info and the only reply you get is that your stirring the pot or causing trouble.

Nope, with the concert off, you don't have to move trailers for the weekend of August 15-17.

Steve, I have not seen a difference in MPH except when I'm on the brakes hard or sometimes even when I'm ripping it and the nose starts bouncing and I catch the beam with the nose. I would probably say if you take the stripe catcher off the nose of the car you will see the mph difference go away.

I will say this though. I catch the beam with the nose now way more then I ever have in the past. Im guessing one is a little higher then it use to be but that doesnt mean its not within spec either.

details on the T/S T/D race on the 10th.

Questions like, 1/8th or 1/4 or 1000ft? 1000'

How many cars per class. All run

Is there a min dial? TS=6.90, TD=6.70

IHRA Pro Am/Nitro Jam rules apply to all classes, including the Rod/.90 classes. As soon as I get more I'll post it.



Chuck, as far as you know, is this still the correct info for aug 23rd?

Is the night at the races event broken out as 10.00+ is no box and 9.99- is box, or is it only a time break?
July 25, 2014, 08:58 AM
ChuckT
Only a time break. Boxes allowed in both.

100%. It's the way Night at the Races has always been. Classes are split by elapsed time, not box/no box.
