Okay folks, we are down to the last couple of days. I wanted to put up one more post for everyone since most of you will be driving out tomorrow. For those of you who are just checking in, the first 2003 SVT Cobra shootout is going down this weekend, Sept. 27-29 at Bowling Green, KY during the NMRA World Finals.
I still can't post a definitive price for this event. The reason is that NMRA is going to cut the cost if you choice to not race in the Modular Muscle class on Sunday. I hope most of you will compete in that class on Sunday, but it will mean that you have to become an NMRA Member.
I can conservatively estimate 30-40 '03s in competition in the Street Tire and Race Tire classes. Most racers and shop owners are promising me twice that, but I don't want to over estimate this race. It does look very promising, though. This should include a bunch of 11-second cars, a couple 10-second cars, and MAYBE a 9-second 03 Cobra. If you choose not to race your new car, please bring it out for the car show or just to hang out. Your participation is critical toward the future of these races.
NMRA has expanded trophies to cover the top 10 qualified cars in each class. I have also been informed over the last couple of days that many generous sponsors have stepped up. WE WILL HAVE A TON OF FREE STUFF TO GIVE OUT. Amazon Racing and Diablo Racing (your official sponsors) as well as Metco, UPR, SVT, and several others will have parts, T-shirts, parts, hats, parts, and a ton of other goodies to give out to the winners and participants.
I have been promised expanded magazine coverage of this event. NMRA Race Pages, 5.0 Mustang magazine, and Muscle Mustangs will all be running several page features on this first time 2003 SVT Cobra shootout!
I am going to work for round-by-round internet updates on qualifying times for those unfortunate few who can not make this event in person. If they are not posted here, please refer to WWW.NMRARACING.COM for updates and winners. Hopefully, in the following week, we will have racer vids, pix, etc.
This has the potential to be a VERY special event. I want to thank all of the energetic participants in advance for their support as well as thank our generous sponsors.
See you all in Bowling Green, KY this weekend.
If you need anything, please post here.
If you need to reach me during the event, I'll be in the tower announcing the action! Let's pump it up!!!!!
Thanks,
Jamie
