BCDSM Drag Racing Tournament.

[Ivan Josipovic]

So i was pondering the other day and i thought we should have some kind off tournament amongst ourselves next season.

Heres a couple ideas I had
10-20$ to enter, so we can buy prises for the top 3-5 guys.
Depending one how many people enter we should have 2-3 classes, ie bolt ons, all out, ect
Ron Korolak has to start in second because hes a bastard and hes sponsored hehe :p
Any cars with dsm engines can participate.


Discuss !!!!

[Ivan Josipovic]

heh i wasn't aware of that, but i was joking.

yes i think we should have classes because its not going to be fair at all hehe.
I was thinking of three classes

Minor bolt ons - exhaust, raising the boost, ect

Major bolt ons - turbo, bigger injectors, some kind off fuel management

Fully built/All out - Fully built engines, N20, anything goes, ect

Bracket racing would be easier.
...
Then maybe I can beat Ron.

[Mark Guthrie]

bracket racing would be the best idea

[Josh Royle]

Could be fun

[Jamie Oswald]

Ereryone heads up first round, everyone arrives there who ever gets there first when the time comes will block off an area so we can park all the dsm's in one area. Then we will do our thing chatt and all that. Then when they call S/C well all go heads up 1st run see what your times are and all buddie up with people that are close to us in that time range. Not no well he did a 14 9 and im a 14 2... Know what i mean?  Sound good, thats my idea on this

[Andrew King]

i agree with it all but i think that there should be a "stock one"

Sounds good to me. i could use some cash and or prizes.

we tried this before but people could not agree to the classes. 1g, 2g, fwd, auto, just too many variables to the cars. and where do you draw the line for what classifies as a bolt on? i.e. is a race prepped cylinder head a bolt on? is a turbo?

Well the classes are up to us to decide. 1g, 2g, fwd, auto,manual this shouldn't make a difference.

a race prepped head would definitely be between major bolt on/fully built

This is what i am thinking for classes

most of us know what we run, or fairly close anyways.  Those that don't and want to compete, well, go to the track before the tourney and find out.

Then we put people of similar et/trap/skill level togeather.  That would be the most fair and the most fun. Two guys with 12.20 cars but then it comes down to skill, nerve and who doesn't break.  Fun for all.

[Ritchie Hui]

I wouldnt mind doing this... finally track my car seriously

I'll get my ass kicked tho cause I think I am considered all out.. lol

All out 420a for the win!!!

[lyle chavez]

lets do this...

[Mike Schmid]

Not to be a downer but I don't see it working.  The club is just too small. Too bad we don't have a similar club to grudge match, like a WRX/STi club, that'd be fun.  The other problem tho is to do it on a street legal night by the time everyone shows up you're looking at 3 runs each with the obligatory outlaw or beater blow up and clean up, pretty tough to run any kind of competition structure like that. 

The other alternative would be to go on a test and tune for more runs but that means $60 + race gas + travel gas + wear and tear + entry money for prizes etc which ends up getting pretty expensive for lots of folks. 

It would be good to pick a day on the schedule and decide to all try and show up then.  In that past we've seen good turnouts doing that and we can get someone doing video and pics.  No prizes or competition structure but it's still fun.

sweet idea...but there is a whole pile of AWD's in the club, and a couple in each "class" so it could work out to b a sweet competition
now get to the FWD's and well...theres me...who will hopefully have a good bunch of bolt-on mods done soon, and then theres a colt or 2 that is beafed to the nuts..how many other FWD's are there? like im probably the only FWD in my "class"
I personally think that FWD is a kind of a different class
my engine would be in the "major bolt on" class (bigger turbo, injectors, cams, fuel management) but i would probably only keep up with the higher "minor bolt-on" guys with the AWD
