Default Small East coast Hotrod Car series.

I have a schedule to announce.
I will also be preparing a paypal account for the participating entries to place there deposits for the up coming events. I will address this in more detail when I release the information of the account.
The Rules:
They are going to follow an existing series setup if we all agree. I would like to follow what currently exists for the BOTI. Once they are set they will not get tweaked around as I must submit them to the event cooridinators in a timely fashion so we can prepare.
As of now no sponsors are required to make this work. And invloving them can make things difficult in many ways. We do not HAVE to follow the schedule as we on a race to race basis. These however are all venues we are invited to compete in as long as we create are own purse per event. This is setup for simplicty so that we can all enjoy ourselves.
So let me know what you think? Feel free to IM on honda-tech if you have any personal questions or concerns. Thanks


Tentative schedule:
1.Englishtown Raceway Park = Spring Nationals May 2nd 3rd
2.Atco raceway = Northeast Tuner Showdown May 31st

5.Atco Raceway=Notheast Tuner Showdown Aug 23rd
6.Maryland International Raceway = Sept 13th
7.Englishtown Racewa Park = Oct 3rd 4th

We can contact the tracks to see which ones would allow our own little thing. It probably happen on test and tune nights and weekends. We could pay to sponsor ourselves and put up our own purses. I'm not a good coridinator or have much expierience in this type of thing. But I'll put in the time and a reasonable amount of money to help get things started. Lets Hear it!
Hope you find some cars! Way to step it up. You should get someone to cover it online vids, pics.

I'm in, depending on what payouts there are and what events they piggy back I may not come to MD all the time. But I can help with coordination if need be.

Im in, just want to race. Dont care about payouts to much, cause those tracks are not to far from me. Hopefully the car will be done in time. In the meantime need any help let me know.. If we could piggyback those quick 8 events you mentioned even better.

If there was a way for me to securely leave the car/trailer in the area to reduce travel cost I might be game.

Thats not what racing is about.. As if the payouts will ever bring you out of the redzone from a monetary standpoint

I am in. That sounds awesome. We should also try to lock down some cars for the class and get a hot rod class back into summer slam at e-town. Also there spring and fall nationals, and any other sport compact events that fall on sundays(non-muffled cars).

In this case it absolutely matters, I'm the first one to bag people for payouts if they only drive an hour lol

To come 'try' a race out somewhere 8 hours away there has to be something there. If I wanted to just race, which I do; I'd go to LVD or NED and beat up on some mullet heads in the 8.50 class. And save a ton of travel time and hotel fees.

Not sure what ya mean about the redzone though lol

As in 'in the red' lol Building up spares and making races is why I would want money.

You get the point on the local stuff, no need to explain further

Hmmmmmm.......I like that idea. Maybe set up a few match races???? Rota I can show you how to run a 7.80, I do not mind either if you promise to help pack up our chute when you pull onto the return road behind us................ Ha Ha I am just kiddin.

Rota I think you are a nice guy, but I will tell you know you are rubbing alot of people in the SC scene the wrong way. I here about it all the time, but unlike most I will speak my mind. It does not personaly bother me much......just sometimes. I wish you the best and I want to see every Hot Rod car run sevens, especially you because I can see your drive and determination. Just a heads up.

Just remember, your post will be on H-T for a long time.

Last bit of advice, keep as many people on your side as long as you can, because when you start handing people there asses, that list will get small quick.

Best of luck, HR -1320 I think it is an awesome idea, and I think it would be the first step in bringing Professional SC racing back. Good Job!

People chose to not be on my 'side' for whatever personal reason IMO, I've only stated a goal and I'm dead set on it. People did it to me with the single cam setup too, so I'm really not all that worried about how people take things as I mean nothing but fun and games by everything. But I don't go around doubting other peoples stuff, as I have no idea what kind of drive they themselves have. So in defense they also rub me the wrong way when they come out and do that.

I won't name names, but some people just love to hate

All this because I said I am committed to help, but can't guarantee being at every MD race
