In the factory blown class no aftermarket blowers will be allowed ?

 

[NGC1]

Factory and aftermarket blowers will be allowed. That is simply what we decided to name the class because all vehicles entering were equipped with a blower from the factory.

Few safety rules

Few safety rules. More coming this weekend:

If your car is brought on a trailer and you attend a race track often you need the proper safety equipment. Such as follows...
-Roll Cage
- Helmet
-Neck Brace

you know what is generally expected out of your ride. These are just the obvious, more to come this weekend.

IF YOUR CAR EXCEEDS 10.99 YOU MUST HAVE A HELMET AND SOME SORT OF ROLL CAGE... NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
This is just a few rules for now. We are waiting for the rest of the rules from the track. Check back this weekend!!

[96project]

[LZRRED01]

I know that you have probably been asked this, but why cant there just be a all out fastest street car competition with a 'chute.

 

[cobra_4]

[DTSVT03]

Is there still going to be a drag night?

 

[GeoSnake]

Dragnight was never canceled?? The NGC pulled out but we've come up with a good alternative for those interested. See below!
-------------------------------

Okay folks, we come up something that will make Dragnight even more exciting! This year we will hold the first Mustang Week Dragnight Shootout. We will still be running our normal test-n-tune as always, but adding some spice to the night! Dragnight will begin at 3pm this year which gives us an extra 2 hours at the track as well!

The following classes are meant to be FUN! This is not a sanctioned event. We have put together these classes hoping to give those of you who feel the need for a bit more competition a chance to see how you stack up to other cars at Mustang Week! Again, this is for FUN and bragging rights. We don't want to spend the entire night with folks arguing about which class their car belongs in, so remember, the name of the game is to have some fun.

Registration will take place at the track (look for a separate tent) and will begin around 3:30 pm and end at 6:00 pm. At 6:30 pm the STREET CAR classes will go on a 30 minute cruise around the Darlington/Hartsville countryside. For those that choose to enter the STREET CAR class, be prepared to travel on both two-lane and four-lane roads at highway speeds. We will return just before 7:00 pm and get the Shootout started.

The cost to enter will be $10. The winner of each class will take a portion of whats taken in for that class. Second place will be rewarded as well. This is going to be heads-up racing. You lose, you are out. The details for how we are going to determine first round matchups is still being worked out.

Here are the classes (these are firm at this point). We'd love for you to post up if you are going to step up and enter. Tell us your name and what class you'll be entering. We'll be available to talk about the Shootout each day leading up to dragnight.
