S197 East Coast Shootout - November 1st 2009

Hey all, this should be a great time, and a chance to get a way, I'm planing it and I think Kool Dawgs is going.

Announcement

Five Guys Racing is pleased to announce the First Annual East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina, on Sunday, November 1, 2009. “The Rock” provides a centrally located, easily accessed facility on the Eastern seaboard complete with concessons, sponsor space, and nearby hotels.

The event was originally intended to focus on the 4.0L and 4.6L naturally aspirated S197's with six index, side-by-side race classes. However, due to popular demand the forced induction crowd is invited to participate in six additional classes for added excitement. The facility will manage a Sportsman ladder, and racers will face a .5 Pro Tree, half second indexes, and no breakout rules in effect. The overall emphasis is on street cars you can live with and drive every day, so all cars must be tagged and registered, and cannot be gutted. Winners in each class will receive trophies. Other awards are also being developed for items such as "best 60 foot", "longest road trip to the event", etc.



The following classes have been developed:

Grudge Matches!
Concerned about get eliminated early on? Don't be. Instead, please join some of the well known S197 racecar drivers and our other special guests in the non-award category. Call out a buddy (or a nemesis) for some straight-up heads up racing action. No one to call out? Just keep making "time trial" passes as if you are at a private rental. Everyone will have plenty of opportunity to race all day!

When are they having the SN95 shootout?

I don't know, wouldn't that be put on by an SN95 forum, and not an S197 forum LOL

We're planning a number of events, but the S197 was big enough and has enough interest to keep it limited to one Mustang platform. The idea was to start small, then gradually phase in other Mustang platforms. The recent shootout at ODS is an example.

Check out the website and join the forum: post your ideas. Believe, the team is listening.

This should be a great event! I plan on racing as well as spectating! There are also supposed to be some of the quickest 'street driven' S197s in the country there as well doing grudge matches!

very close to the in-laws, will try and make it to this one!!

So who all is planning to go to this?

I'm going if the car holds up.

Count me in on this. Lets see if i can get the duels and JLT intake for this. Mahahah lol.

We might be in. Depends on cash flow at the time.

Well I'm going.

and chrisverneuil don’t buy that JLT until you do some good homework, I'm not so pleased with mine, the velocity is taken down so far that the MAF readings will change to between .1-1.8 volts at the top, so you lose the range on your MAF, that may not be a big deal, but I'm going to do some testing with my old CAI to see if it's better to keep the velocity over the huge air flow, especially seeing that the intake can only handle so much air any way

maybe

hey Mike, you said it was 14 hours, it is round trip, its only a 7 hour ride

Hey Ed, have you looked for a room yet?

I will this weekend, what I'm planning is, take off Friday and Monday, leave Friday morning around 10 drive 3 4 hours and stop for something to eat and mess around a wile then drive the rest of the way and get there around 7 8 settle in and get ready to party, race Sunday, then head back on Monday.
