Good idear Schmitty!
The Gasser race is the prelim with the Funny Cars being the FEATURE.

Below is a cut-n-paste for those that can't get to it:

I try to keep the rules/guidelines as simple as possible to make the builds as easy as possible yet still produce some really great competition and racing for everyone to enjoy.

We have been running for several years now here at KIR and we have several regular builders/racers that can tell you the racing is FUN and enjoyable for everyone so if you have the desire to test your building skills against some of the best in the world, this is the event for you!!!! The racing will be fast and furious with some really great castings that will produce some of the best diecast racing in the world so I would like to invite you to give it a try.

Good luck to all those that enter and we will see you all during race week for photo ops, qualifying and such, then on race day when the action gets hot and heavy to crown the winners in both classes!!!

POINTS SYSTEM
- 2pts per casting that qualifies and makes the event. MAXIMUM is 3 cars per team that you can earn points for in each class.
--if you enter 3 cars in the 2oz and 3 cars in the 4oz, you get 6pts total for 2oz and 6pts total for 4oz. This is a TEAM points concept. So you can or could get 6pts just for having 3 cars make the field!!!

- 10pts for a round win
--it's simple, beat your opponent in any round and you get 10pts

- 2pts for best ET/SPEED of the round
--have the best run of the round and you get 2pts, somebody will get these 2pts for every round

You do not have to enter all the races or all the classes but the more you enter the better your chances are at being crowned a class CHAMP at the end of the year.

Some rules/guidelines may need to be tweaked as we go and I reserve the right to make any changes at anytime when or where they are needed but I will let everyone know ASAP so as not to interfere with building cars or we may change/extend when the event will take place and when cars need to be here.

Good luck everyone and see you all in September!!!

I'm entering 3 Funny Cars and 2 55 Chevy Bel-Air Gassers.
Is anybody going to build roll cages in their 55 Chevys? I know I'm going to.

Cool! The White one is my favorite. How did you make the Contingency stickers for it? And how much do they weigh?

Oops! I meant to ask you how much the cars themselves weigh. I'm going to try and see if I can make some stickers for mine myself, but thanks for the offer though!

Good luck in the race
