Thanx for the heads up guys
Just for reference, here is a link to a video from last year showing Hazman in his 97 Cobra Vert, Jason in his 03 C5 Vert, and 2 taxi cabs running 411. The video is shot so that you can compare the runs between the 4 cars. The LeadSSled on race tires is in the bottom right. The Impala on the bottom left (budjrfan) is on street tires.

If you would still like to make a wager, just let me know.

Hope to see you at the show. This is just about as much fun that you can have with your car for $35. The SCMC folks are terrific hosts and these 411 autocrosses are my favorite racing events of the year.

Well, since the B-body Caprice went out of production in 1996, all of the cabs in NYC are now Ford Clown Vics. They are slow and have some reliabilty problems.

It is not just the deceptive look of those cabs that will fool you it is also the mild mannered nice quiet spoken grey haired gentlemen that drive them.

Thanks for posting the vid! Awesome run! Will we have access to the dragstrip on the same day? I'll be there on June 25th.

Well, sorta. The strip is open only during the afternoon on Sundays. Since these are all Sunday events this year, the dragstrip will be running the same time we are running. So, in order to run there, you would be not able to run the autocross.

If there was a Saturday date, you could autocross in the afternoon and go next door to run the dragstrip in the evening. But, there are no Saturday dates this year. However, you could run at the strip the night before the event.

Thank you for the answer! I don't want to hijack this thread, but is it a "show and go", or do I have to pre-register for the dragstrip? I only live 2 hours away, but I was thinking of coming in Saturday anyway.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!!

No pre-registration is required for the dragstrip. It's just a normal Saturday for them. They open at Noon on Saturdays and run till dark. They will stay open later after it warms up, but will close early for the April date. $12 to run test and tune on Saturday.
