Does anyone have more information on this event? All the website says is Drag Racing at Gateway International Raceway from 12-8 on 6/30.

I presume it will be bracket racing preceeded by some dialing-in runs? What classes are there, and will there be a times-only class?

Sarge and I are going to do our little showdown there, if possible. :punch: I'm not interested in bracket racing - just want to line up against Sarge a few times (best two of three gets bragging rights).

Also looks like there might be Test-n-Tune on 6/28 and 6/29 - I might go to that as well, just in case one of the other days the weather is bad.

Anyone else planning on drag racing at the GTOAA Nats?

Here is Gateway's schedule. It does not show anything for the 30th of June. I would assume it will be like a test and tune, but who knows. I am looking forward to meeting everyone that can make the trip.

Well, when we went to the Pontiac Uprising in Wichita, it was a bracket race event. I'm assuming this will be the same. The autocross event at the GTOAA Nats has a list of rules and so on, but not the drag race event. I'm also guessing there might be cash awards for the bracket races. But I might be wrong.

Really, besides we can toss a few and see if we can break some beer mugs instead. :drink: That alone would make the trip worth it.

Padre

I was planing on tossing a set of Nitto 555DR's on the back but Padre's ride in the rain has me a bit leary. Normaly it wouldn't be an issue because I don't drive in the rain but... 4 days away from a garage..

I drove in the rain frequently and for long distances with the Nittos. No problems. But I won't make any promises.
