There's also the Battle of the Imports event up here in Bakersfield on Sunday the 28th. Both are great events!

 

Really? What track is that on? ...Well we're not imports so would we still be able to race?

 

It's at the Autoclub Famoso Raceway in Bakesrfield, CA. It's called "Battle of the Imports" but domestics can race. They even have a category in the show competition just for domestics.

 

That sounds like fun, thanks for the info.

 

Are these both 1/8 mile tracks?

 

nope, Famoso is 1/4 mile.

 

where is that? Close to Bakersfeild?

 

It's actually in McFarland, which is about 20 min north of Bakersfield.

www.famosoraceway.com does not list the event on their website, but it's happening...
http://battleoftheimports.com/pressroom/20070910.html gives more info on the event.

Im definately gonna try and make this

 

im going to try an go, what do you think are the rules if you want to run your car?

 

The classes are listed here: http://battleoftheimports.com/dragra...agclasses.html

And the rules are there as well.

 

what are the rules on having a blow down tube?

do you need one?

 

If you have it, bring it. If not, I don't think they're that strict on that rule unless the nitrous bottle is somewhere other than the trunk.

 

good. Im guessing your balt is still down. You going to be there???

 

I'll be there definately for sure, however, not to race. The buddy of mine who I posted all those photos of the kick ass Cobalt will be competing in the show competition and I'm there to help make sure he wins by cleaning and setting up and such. Would love to meet some of you guys, hopefully we can make that happen.

 

Sounds good man. Im farely confident that Ill be there. Is your friend racing or just showing?

 

Just showing, but I have many friends that are racing. Jason Whitfield with his 9second Cobalt will be there racing. Erica Nocita is also a possibility.

 

Nope, They are both 1/4 mile tracks.

 

Even better

 

There both kinda far for you though aren't they?

 

I'd say he's about halfway between both of them, just depends on if he wants to go East on the 210 or North on the 5 .
