![http://www.wingedwarrior.net/images/flashbar.jpg](http://www.wingedwarrior.net/images/flashbar.jpg) So here is the scoop. This event is growing quite fast, and we’re going to jump in and add to it. Not only do they expect more people than Carlisle does this year, but it costs less, offers more _and_ it’s for charity. You can’t beat that. More NYSpeed specific details at the bottom of this post. **Winged Warrior Performance Challenge (Import vs. Domestic Shootout) & Car Show** [www.wingedwarrior.net](http://www.wingedwarrior.net) [www.oreillyracewaypark.com](http://www.oreillyracewaypark.com) (formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park) _"If you are unfamiliar with the Winged Warrior Shootout, it is a charity event initially put together by my wife and myself, which started as a “toy drive” at my office years ago. The sole purpose of doing this event is for helping the sick Children at Riley Hospital for Children, here in Indianapolis Indiana. It has expanded over the past three years into a “battle” of the Import vs. Domestic manufactured vehicles and performance challenge, with entrants coming in from as far away as Florida, and celebrities showing up and joining in on the fun as well!!_ _We are going to do some EXPANDING for this year’s event, as we ran out of room for the spectators and participants the last 2 events we held at local airport properties. We are actively pursuing celebrity racers as well, and to date, there is a strong interest in those celebrities we have contacted as wanting to participate and race in this event."_ ~ Dr. Butterfield ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c360/smokedmustang/111477586-M.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/7/8795f325cda66081146a46dff9b71837645d80f6.jpeg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c360/smokedmustang/111476878-M.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/3/838dd4792bf24397cdf1d3d8121cd0da04928a5a.jpeg) Check out the website for details and pics of the past 2 events. _Registration FOR RACING_ is linked right off the main page. It ends March 16th, and teams are picked April 2nd. _Registration FOR SHOW_ won’t be up on their website until Jan 15th. You can either compete, or just show your car at a spot set aside for NYSpeed members. **To race, it will cost $100 per car. To show it is $20 in advance/$25 at the door.** There are LOTS of trophies/prizes etc up for grabs. They are expecting over 800 people apply for the 130 spots, and they pick the cars to make it a “close” battle, and more fun. Anyone looking to race sign up as soon as you can - you can always withdraw if you would rather just be in the show or are not picked. But I’m told they’ll “save” spots for us in the competition if we want them 😉 Like any show, there will be countless vendors etc as well. All NYSpeed members should EXPECT to have the NYSpeed logo somewhere on your car for this event. More details as far as hotels, the cruise there, etc I’ll have posted later. It will take about as long to get there as it did to get to Carlisle. I should be able to find some cool stuff to do in Indianapolis too for the night after the event. Some event details are still in the works, so when I get them I’ll post them up. As for who’s going, I’m going to keep a list and as usual, you don’t get on it unless you’ve actually registered or I KNOW you’re serious (seen the $$$.) All NYSpeed members are encouraged to attend. Lets kick off the summer right and help out some sick kids as well! _ **Who’s Going:** _ Competition = RED 1. Onyx Z32 2. somedude 3. MPD47 4. Adictd2b00st 5. Bing 6. LAFENGAS 7. zwarbyt 8. woody 9.

While we know it is difficult to please everyone all the time, we want to make this event the best Winged Warrior event yet…and help to grow this event to one of the premiere events in the nation. > With that said, a couple of rules have been discussed at length and have been edited/clarified. > > The changes/clarifications: > **1. Tire rules.** These are unchanged with regard to points. However, the language of not allowing a single purpose tire has been removed. Our overall guide is going to be the existing treadwear guide. Someone asked about a specific tire (Nitto NT555R). After reviewing and discussing this particular tire, we determined that this tire actually falls within the rules we had laid out. We also determined that the language of the rules to be modified as to not confuse that this tire would not be allowed. In short, this “drag radial” has a 100 treadwear rating and is DOT approved. Our original stance of not allowing soft walled drag tires stands (0 treadwear or unpublished treadwear), as well as not allowing race slicks. Please look at the tire rules again to make sure you understand them. > If you still have a question about a specific tire you would like to use in Winged Warrior 3, please PM myself or someone on the Rules Committee…we will take a look at your request. > > **2. Interior gutting rule.** This rule has remained closely to what was originally intended by the Rules Committee. We do not want removal of panels or seats to gut the car for track use (example: see any NASCAR or World Speed Challenge type car for what we discourage). We also want to see finished interiors, as this is a street car challenge. Yes we know you can gut your car and still drive it on the street, but that is outside of the Winged Warrior rules. > This is the revised language in the car appearance rules: _(Full interior must be intact (OEM or aftermarket finished), no interior “gutting” allowed. If a rear seat or panel is removed, we ask that the exposed bare metal left from the seat or panel removal be covered with a finishing material (i.e. carpet, cloth, plastic, wood, or any other like material) that is secured. Non-compliance with this rule will result in heavy penalties in the racer car show portion of the challenge.)_ > **Previous statements allowing only painting or using bedliner material to cover the exposed metal resulting from removal of panels does not in our eyes constitute a finished interior (apologies for the confusion).** Again, if you still have a question about this, please PM myself or someone in the rules committee. Pictures sent to us via PM will also help us help you come up with a viable solution. > > Some pictures for example. > UNFINISHED: > > ![http://www.1963pontiac.com/images/yourphotogallery/robinspar/P0000071.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/b/9b75a3828369b2a2ffee247c5c4f1252af3a2866.jpeg) > > FINISHED: > ![http://www.1963pontiac.com/images/yourphotogallery/robinspar/int2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/f/0ffb983475caa1a5fbb9606e9e14e6a20ec8656e.jpeg) ---
