John (Whitey) and I are in the process of planning a PittSpeed vs. NYSpeed drag event for early summer 2011. Here are the details so far:
Date: May 29th, 2011
Time: Noon to “Whenever we’re done”
Location: Lucky Drag City - 1hr 30min from Buffalo, 2hrs from Pittsburgh
Cost: $20 to race, $10 to watch, paid at the gate. $15 from the racers entrance fee will go into a pot for a cash payout.
Let me post it again, that’s only $20 to race your car from noon until we call it quits.
Classing & payout will be very simple: The fastest AWD, FWD & RWD cars will split the pot in 3rds. Also they’ll get trophy plaques (see picture below.)
Registration page is active! (click the marketplace tab in the navbar)
If you plan on joining us for this event, please use the ‘Marketplace’ tab (next to ‘What’s New’) above and register for our headcount. Once registered your username will appear in the first post and on our list. Our registration is NOT payment for the event. Payment will be AT THE GATE.
Registered users using this system is how we’ll determine our classing / cash payouts. :tup:
Make your callouts >>HERE<< in the callout thread.
John and I visited this track a few weeks ago because it almost seemed too go to be true; a 1/4 mile track that’s a reasonable distance from both user bases. Turns out it’s perfect for what we want to do. We spoke with the owner and got the ball rolling :tup:
Here are some pics I took from the track, followed by some I’ve found on the web:

Now it’s obvious this track isn’t “on the map” as most of us have never heard of it, but it’s a proper venue for some serious heaters. The track does drop slightly after the 1/8th into an uphill shutdown… so no, you’re not seeing things, lol.
As we plan things John or I will update this thread. But this should be sufficient notice for you guys to get in gear over the winter
