> [@ubengineering](#): > > I think part of the fun will be watching the world’s shitties cars go at it on a track that’s completely unprepped LOL I wanna see disaster! This could be a constant montage of Nascar type crashes. It’ll just be a shame is someone dies the first run because then they’ll shut it down. We need people to explode about half way through so I can justify going to an early lunch/dinner/linner/froyo. Should we start a pole or betting pool on the total number of crashes? ---

I’ll probably rent a car to go. I don’t want a Mustang crashing into my actual car. I also bet someone eats shit on a bike, with little to no gear. ---

I think you guys are getting carried away. It’s a 1/2 mile run. Most of the shitty cars showing up won’t have power to break traction after 10mph and they’re going to be hitting 120mph MAYBE. It’s twice as long as a regular 1/4 mile but even at a steady 100mph that extra 1/4 mile only allows you an extra 9 seconds of acceleration. Figuring the car is speeding up that entire time figure maybe 7 seconds. Look at some of the slower cars in the results from this 1/2 mile event. First two speeds are 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile.

I’ll pay the $30 to see what its like. If its fairly well organized I’d make a couple runs. ---

The surface is terrible because its not prepped and people drag water/dirt on it…They stopped prepping Wednesdays because people were breaking parts on shitty cars.

I will be bringing my b5S4. I was not going to go because I thought I only had snow tires and they are obviously not speed rated then I remembered I have a set of slicks from the road course off of my A8 track car. I have no idea what the S4 will run but i’m not expecting anything impressive. It launches nice but after that it is a bit of a turd. My van would be fun to run but it will run out of gear before the 1/2 mile. stupid diesel ---

So they were waiting on FAA approval which I think they got… They’re only allowed to use the taxi runway? so 1/8th mile no prep only and they still haven’t found insurance :lol: :lol: If it happens seems like a giant waste of time and you would be better off running at Lancaster. ---

1/8 mile is not entertaining to me. 1/2 mile has my attention though. Hopefully they pull a rabbit out of their ass ---

“…and still haven’t found insurance”. There’s a better chance of Trump convincing Putin to be his VP than this event happening if they haven’t even found an insurance carrier before they started telling people entry fees. ---
