1. Bracket Winner - First Place = Last Car standing (open)
2. Terminator King = Last Cobra Standing by a club member.
3. Terminator Queen = Last Cobra standing driven by a female driver and must be a club member.
4. Best Burnout - open
5. Longest Distance Driven to the event - keep track of your mileage (open)
6. Best Reaction Time (open)

Hmmm kinda odd on the Terminator Queen rules got changed from last year since the only 2 that ran last year were not members and neither one were Cobras so that eliminates the repeat competition for this year kinda smoothly. Do you guy's have a female member with a Cobra that is going to be there or something? Just curious why all of a sudden the rule changes for that class.

And was the Terminator King a Cobra last year? Was that a rule? I wish I would have known of all the rule changes a little sooner.

Same here... My daughter decided not to go and I don't think I am gonna bring anything either.

My wife may bring one of her cars still and my son in his Jr. Dragster but I will be free to help out also if need be.

Yelsvt03cobra,

I see what you are saying and what we will do in order to be fair is break the women's category out too. We'll add another trophy for the women's bracket by adding a "first place" award. Therefore any woman racer that wants to compete against other woman racers can do so. They will still be eligible to run in the main bracket race with the other participants for any $$ awards. If there are two female racers like there was in the Spring who do not own Cobras then they can compete for the first place award. Members can not win the first place award, they can only win the Terminator award.

The problem is that automatics with line locks have an unfair advantage over the manual drive Cobras. There is no easy solution as someone is going to get upset over any changes that are made and I want to make this as fair as possible. If you can think of a better solution, please share that.

"Terminator King" has been replaced with "first place" bracket winner or is the same as.... This award, Terminator King, is just to give our members a chance to win something for their support. The bracket first place award is to give to the other participants who support the event an opportunity to win something, too. Members cannot win the first place award but just the Terminator award. I hope this explains it a little better and you will feel this is fair?

yelsvt03cobra · 11-01-2005, 11:04 PM

I ain't trying to be a pain by any means... Last year I thought it was street legal, tagged and insured and without any electronics, no trans brake, etc. I may be wrong but I remember it being limited to street cars.

I agree with you on the line locs, etc. No way would their be any fairness to that. I am just babbling to make sure she will have some kind of class to run in.

Do you know of anyone else heading out Friday night? We will be up there around 8-9pm in case anyone else will be in the area the night before.

**cobrabitn** · 11-01-2005, 11:10 PM

I enjoy seeing you all go out and run and we do want to be fair to everyone and it's not easy but now you can tell Tanya she has a class to run in!

If no one else runs in that class against her then she wins by default!

Ah she doesn't really care but I wanted to be up to date for once instead of looking dumb. I have been good at looking dumb lately and felt like being different for once.

We should be at the gates by 10-10:30 Sir.

Tony, what time should I be at the track to help with registration and such?? I was planning on being there between 9:30 and 10:00 is that good??

tcrews · 11-02-2005, 02:15 PM

What's the official "start" time of the event? Just for spectators and what not who don't care about watching everyone register, change tires, prep, etc..... just want to watch cars run down the 1/4.

I and some friends may come but kids soccer games are going on that morning until noon.
