IFO coming 5/23/10

[Th3Juggernaut]

These guys throw good events if the weather holds up there should be a nice car count coming. For heaven's sake if anybody plans to race at least do the bracket runs if you think you can't run with the guys in your class. I know on other sites all you ever hear is people complaining that there wasn't any division for them to race in cause they were are too slow or too fast, and people wonder why we have no events up here. These things need to be supported so mark your calendar off if your a drag racing fan.

First off, very special thanks to all the sponsors, competitors, and spectators who supported the 2009 Import Face-Off series. 2009 was our best year yet. EVERY location that was not affected by weather or date change had an increase in attendance from all years before. The scene dying is a MYTH.

The series is still growing and will have another national tour with atleast 24 events in 2010. The first IFO in 2010 will mark our 100th event since 2001. New for 2010 will be coverage from Import Tuner and PAS magazine. We are also looking to create points for individual regions in addition to classes. Schedule, new sponsors, and Points program to be updated on the website soon, www.ImportFaceOff.net

Oh jee too bad you don't read all the classes or the fact they have a test n tune. You fail at being a smart a** for once.

[:Quirk:]

did i miss something?

[ShaggyK]

damn, every class except the bracket racing you have to be faster than 13.99 that kinda knocks a lot of cars out.

i wouldnt mind having fun beating up on the imports, but if they have to be a half a second faster than me just to be eligible, i can forget that.

i know, but really what do you think the chance of my 14.5 sec car actually making the semi's in a bracket comp?

i've actually always wanted to try bracket racing...i cut a mean light but im not sure that would make up for my slowness

[mike cm]

Automatic cars tend to do alright in the bracket class. Being consistent helps and where you do not need to worry too much about miss shifting, you should be golden.
