Date: Saturday, February 5th

Where: Meet in Speedzone Lobby
11130 Malibu Drive
Dallas, TX 75229
Phone: (972) 247-7223
The idea behind these races is to add a little competition in the months we are not autocrossing or attending track days. If we're lucky, it could also light the competitive fire under a few S2000 drivers who are not racing their S2000's with us.
Format:
The event will run on Saturday, early afternoon, before Speedzone gets crowded. I'm currently only considering the Grand Prix cars for the competition. They are the fastest, most consistent, and easiest to score. For those who are unfamiliar, the Grand Prix cars run on a road style course for a single timed lap which is very similar to our autocross setup.
There will be a series of races including Qualifying, Pre-Final, Chance, and the Final. The goal here is to offer everyone as much racing as possible no matter the finishing position. I just ask that everyone be as flexible as possible as we make changes to make this the best event possible.
Race Day:
1) Qualifying - Each driver will get a minimum of 5 runs (we'll see how long this takes). The best 3 runs will be combined to derive a final score. The top 50% will continue on to the Pre-Final race. The lower 50% will participate in the Chance race.
2) Pre-Final - The top 50% from Qualifying will get 3 runs. The best run will determine the score. The top 4 drivers will move to the Final race.
3) Chance - The lower 50% from Qualifying will get 2 runs. The best run will determine the score. The top driver will move to the Final race.
4) Final - The 4 drivers from Pre-Final and 1 driver from Chance race will get 3 runs. The best run determines the score. The top 3 drivers will receive an undetermined award.
Cost:
The cost will be approximately $20 depending on how much you race. Each lap in the Grand Prix cars is about $2.00. As an option, an unlimited 2 hour pass can be purchased for $29.

Two hour deal might work, but the ONLY time I went there, my card didn't have enough credit for the dragster. I went back to put more money on it and they ripped me off for the credit I had. When I complained to the manager, she said, "Yeah, that happens alot."
I'll be busy at the new house or I might have to try it again
