Hey guys my local 1/8th mile track is having the first quick 8 shoot out of the year saturday may 21st gates open at 1pm time trials start at 3pm. Its a no holds bard, run what ya brung pro tree event. the rules are very open and we're hoping for a good turn out. on a side note our wonderful president of the series is one cocky s.o.b, he has a srt-4 fully built, he has said numerous times "no one" can run with him, oh and if i forgot to mention he only runs 6.90's. but back on topic we're hoping to get as big of turn out as possible so the track will keep doing the event year after year. so if your gonna be in Radford VA swing by Motor Mile dragway and join in on the event!!! hope to see you gus there!!1

Not familiar with this idea, anybody know what this means?

Oh, and an SRT running 6.90 is pretty damned quick...

in bracket classes if you write "DEEP" on your window you compettior has to wait untill you click off the pre-stage lights to go "DEEP" before the tree operater will set the tree down, if you choose to go deep do so at your own risk, the offical will not wait on you to do it. and yes its quick and impressive i dont take that awayfrom him, just wish someone would come show him someone will always be faster. im currently still down or id do it myself

Isn't that the rule of being a car enthusiast? There's always going to be someone out there having a better day than you, even on your best days. :)
