Hey Andy,
The Pac NW Shark Drags are taking place at SIR on Sunday June 25th.
We currently have 16 928's that will be racing. Our "team" is called
"Stuttgart Air Force".
The cost is $25 to race payable at the gate. T-shirt orders are closed at
this time, although there is a chance I may be able to get a couple extra
printed up without a nickname printed across the back.
There will be an extra charge to cover the costs of our own trophies and
prizes, I'll let everyone know what this is when I get the shirts back.
I'm shooting for $25 apiece, including the price of the T-shirt.
Tech inspection begins at 8am, I would try to be a little early. All
spectators are welcome.
This is not a private event. We will be participating in the "Hi-Tech
Import vs. American Muscle" race day. There will be anywhere from 200-500
participants total. You will get anywhere from 2-5 dial in runs, depending
on how many participants there are. From there, you race until you get
eliminated.
We will have four trophies: "Quick Draw"-fastest reaction time; "Top
Gun"-fastest top speed; "Eliminator"- quickest E.T.; "King Shark" - 928
that gets furthest up the ladder;
There will also be a Drag Day Poker. All participants guess what their
best reaction time, top speed, and E.T. will be. I think I may have people
do this after their first dial in. Who ever gets the closest on all three
at the end of the day will win the as yet to be determined prize.
It'll be a great time Andy, you should go for it. We are all first timers
for the most part. You don't have to abuse your car. The key is
consistency, not top speed.
Even if you decide not to race, please come and check it out, it's always
great to meet other shark owners in person.
One last note on racing, if you don't go for it now, you may not get
another chance.
(How's that for pressure?)

of guys running their cars as well as some not so
