Awesome Cliff, im looking foward to this event. I know quite a few people from br will be out there representing for sure.

 

sounds like fun. I smell a bunch of supras

 

No fast Supras that I know of, in Louisiana that is. The only one I've seen was running high 11s back in 2004.

 

Yeah but there are alot of fast ones in texas though.

 

Guys, I wouldn't worry about the out of state Supras. In the last two years the winners at these S. Louisiana events were Son Hoang 11.1 @ 129 mph (IFO 2005 winner) and Alex Jimenez 11.1 @ 134 mph (IFO 2004 winner). The fastest at IFO 2005 was Robbie Poupart 10.41 @ 133 mph, fastest in 2004 and I think 2003 was Alex. Hondas have been the fastest cars at every Louisiana event since 2001. Hopefully at this event too Let's get a full Quick 16

 

oh cliff you know i will be there...my new project is about to be done...and lookin forward to this event and now we are getting georeges car ready so be on the look out for at least 2 of our BMS cars to be down there...just got to find some trailors now.......!!!

 

Is this still going on as planned or has the hurricane situation put it off?

 

yea i was wondering the same thing!

 

It's on. The New Orleans area is really the only place that is in chaos right now. The track is 40 miles north of N.O. and it did not suffer any damage.

Out of state racers, please come out to support this event. NPR and the rest of the import scene/racing commerce in LA could really use the support. I talked to the track the other day and it seems monthly payments on a $6 million facility are hard to make when no one local wants to race.

I don't think Sonic Boom will be racing their 9 second hatch at this event. The car might be a submarine right now.

 

well if its still green to go....we will be more than happy to come support....but we are all trying to get alot of texas racers out there for sure

 

i will definately be going to watch, cant compete because i have alot of work to do on my car, ive been in iraq for a year so i have some money to finally play with, maybe next one yall will see the newcomer. the show covers the drifting as well right?

 

Welcome back from Iraq.

Yes, drift eliminations will start at 3 pm after the drag finals. We've had drift qualifying sessions on the NPR road course this past summer.

 

Still on since RITA?

 

YES! Let's get a full Import Quick 16. Anyone running 12s or faster should enter the Import Quick 16 heads up.
