Details to be ironed out in the coming days/weeks, but the loose schedule is for the clubs to meet up just down the road from Rockingham Dragway and cruise in together around noon(maybe earlier). We'll have designated parking so there's no rush to get there(unless you want to of course). Club merchandise should be available for sale at the track so a great opportunity to pick up shirts, hats and stickers. There's a car show and other classes to participate in throughout the day(we'll post the final schedule when available). Tech inspection for the club racers still needs to be figured out as that usually takes place in the morning as well. The Club Shootout is supposed to be the last event on Saturday, so my guess would be 6-8pm for the 20mile cruise, cool down and 3 hotlaps. Those wanting to grab a hotel can choose from the list Holcomb provided below.

One key thing to remember is the racer list above is the only information giving about the cars to the other clubs or organizers. No motor combo's, track times or driver experience has been given. So in order to keep our cards hidden please refrain from discussing any performance figures(past or present) on the open boards. :bat:

Really looking forward to this and once again thank you to all the racers that volunteered. The second part of this is the turnout of additional club members. We really need a great showing, not only to support the racers, but to also let the local clubs and racing community see what SEFB is all about!!

See you at The Rock!!!!!!

[cold air cobra]

[MustangCRZY302]

[93fakesnake]

Good luck guys... Where is everyone staying at up there???

[cold air cobra]

I'm thinking of a camp ground. Can anyone suggest any?

[SuperDan]

I'm thinking of a camp ground. Can anyone suggest any?

there's a camp ground across the rd from the track.

[cold air cobra]

Thanks SuperDan, do you know the name of it?

[Notch93]

Thanks SuperDan, do you know the name of it?

I know this one is right behind the circle track "The Rock". Which right across Highway 1 is the Dragway.

http://www.yellowpages.com/marston-nc/mip/racetrack-campground-10328662/map?lid=10328662

I'll get in touch with Blake Holcomb, and see if there is more. I haven't been to Rockingham since 2001 for a Nascar race, there was camping everywhere back then on Highway 1 right near the track.

Looking for RV or tent camping?

Thanks Eric :thumbsup1:, im looking for a tent site.

[mustang91lx]

[cobra_4]

A nice car filled weekend Jeff! :thumbsup1:

[SuperDan]

The camp ground I'm speaking of is across the side road to the east of the track. Not sure of a name or anything, but I'm sure Blake would know. 1-800-475-RACE, is Holcomb Motorsports #, ask for Blake and he can fill ya in on what ever you need. Also, if anybody wants to blow some tax money, Blake said to call in your order ahead of time, and he can save you the shipping cost by bringing it to the track with him. Also, I think we're going to be meeting up at the Walmart in Hamlet or Laurenburg, all those little towns run together so i dont really know which town it is. A time is to be determined. Then leaving from there and taking hwy 1 in to the track.

[SuperDan]

I would also like to thank SEFB for stepping up to the challenge. We sent invitations to prob 10 or 11 "Big" clubs thinking we'd have a bunch of clubs step up to the challenge, but only 2 clubs took the challenge. With this being our first year doing this event, we weren't really sure how it'd turn out. But plans are already under way for next years event for bigger, better, and faster races. We look foward to seeing yall at the track and having a good time in good company.

You bet Dan...we appreciate the invite and look forward to meeting the other clubs and having a blast!!!

[boostedcoupe]

Im glad we are going to be able to make the trip up and represent for the sefb. I think everyone will have a awesome time

[91svtcoupe]

You can camp at the track. Lots of people camp in tents during the weekend.

I will be coming early Saturday Morning. Try to get in around 9:30 Take a look around at parts etc.

[darren]

We'll be camping in Trackside # 3, stop by and hang out for a while :D You guys are more than welcome to ditch your coolers there too if you don't feel like lugging them around ;) We'll be there around 2pm on Friday.

[tmorg85gt]

Great, stop on by! We're easy to find. As you're walking down the return road towards the end of the track keep looking to your left. When you get to the RV spots we're in #3. They are labeled on the electric hook up boxes :) . I'll make sure dad has a few captain and cokes so he'll be set on kill! :D

[86gt30283]

sleepin in the pits with the roar of the brigs and straton motors all night lol...

[Black01Bullitt]

Im glad we are going to be able to make the trip up and represent for the sefb. I think everyone will have a awesome time

When are you, Greg, and Justin heading up, Friday night or Saturday morning?

[justamach]

im going up for the weekend. the lady is paying (haha, bday present). i believe the coupe is just heading up for saturday.

[Black01Bullitt]

im going up for the weekend. the lady is paying (haha, bday present). i believe the coupe is just heading up for saturday.

Good deal I just booked my room for the weekend at Hampton Inn in Laurinburg. Free stay thanks to Hilton Honors.

[justamach]

hilton honors? we havnt booked anything yet. never been there, dont really know the best place to stay

[darren]

sleepin in the pits with the roar of the brigs and straton motors all night lol...


Music to my ears, can't wait :D :D :D

[Notch93]

Thanks Eric :thumbsup1:, im looking for a tent site.

This is the message I receive from Blake Holcomb.

"Yeah you can camp over in that parking area right next to the dragstrip and I am pretty sure it doesnt cost anything to camp over there. They also have RV hookups inside the track. Or you can camp inside the track once you pay to get in as long as you don't have to hook up to anything."


So it sounds like there should be no problem finding a place to throw up a tent.

[darren]

I've seen a few tents out there in the parking/pit field inside the fence behind the swap meet area every year.

[turbocoupe]

When are you, Greg, and Justin heading up, Friday night or Saturday morning?

I think we are gonna leave early sat morning and go up watch some racing, then spend the night.

[Black01Bullitt]

hilton honors? we havnt booked anything yet. never been there, dont really know the best place to stay

You earn points for every dollar you spend and you can use them at any hilton hotel to stay free.

[cobra_4]

As long as its warmer than the last race we tried that at!!!:lol1:

[86gt30283]

[cobra_4]

[86gt30283]

nope no spooning lol.

[boostedcoupe]

Alright boys, y'all better get these stangs turned up and dialed in! I want to come home with all the gold!!!

[justamach]

taking the mach for testing tonight. still looking for some et streets. think i found some from a fellow sefb member, they are just 3 hours away

[Black01Bullitt]

I hope my new tires come in today so I can test them out tomorrow. Anybody have any advice on tire pressure for MT drs 275/50/15s.

[NC STANG GUY]

I hope my new tires come in today so I can test them out tomorrow. Anybody have any advice on tire pressure for MT drs 275/50/15s.

Seems like I use to run 16-18 in them when I had that size. I stay up around 18 with the 275/40/17's I use now.

Automatic car but it went 1.39 on the 15's and 1.40 on the 17's.

[Black01Bullitt]

Do you think I will be able to dump the clutch or will I have to slip it some?

[boostedcoupe]

I would say you will have to slip it some. It will proably act different on different tracks.

[tmorg85gt]

hauwse should be there with that bad ass 331 but the hours we work makes no time to play

[boostedcoupe]

Who is ready to go to war? Civil wars that is. I think these other clubs want to send us home with our tails tucked!!! Surely we are not going down with out a fight!

[turbocoupe]

Time will tell.

[Black01Bullitt]

Do we know who the people from the other clubs are? I read on one of there sites that a lot of there guys were off with the military or not together yet.

[boostedcoupe]

I read that also on the sandhills club website. The other club seems to be keeping it a secret. But that's ok.

[86gt30283]

all we can do is make sure our rides hold together and run the best they can. if we get beat just means we will have to build them bigger and better and woop up on them next year.. all in all im excited to be envolved in this.

[NC STANG GUY]

X 2

Just going to go out there,make my 3 passes the best I can and see where things fall.

[Black01Bullitt]

I talked with Blake Holcomb today and he said we will be running with the true street part of Sat. which is after the 1st rd of Pro qualifying. We will be paired up with the other club cars racing. He thinks we will be doing this around 7 pm. We should have so good air by that time. He also said we will be responsible for looking over the other clubs cars to make sure there are no hidden tricks on the NA cars.

[boostedcoupe]

This is true. But I still would like to bring home the title. I hope we get a little bit of cool down time between passes. I know there are 24 cars running but it don't take long for that many cars to run.

[Black01Bullitt]

We will be running with true street so there should be some cool down. Just remember you cant open your trunk or hood for any reason. Blake said if you can get to the trunk inside the car he doesnt care as long as the trunk doesnt get opened.

[tangfreak1989]

dddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaammm april needs to hurry up im ready to go wish i was running but then we would lose so im glad it u guys and good luck to all the guys running

[mrw1990]

Someone sale me some Drag Radials cheap, or I'll just be watchin.

[5.SLO]

If I come, I'll be staying the night at a hotel.

Who all is staying the night?

[Dan"s 88]

I am hitting the Autofair on Friday then coming to the Rock Friday night or early Saturday morning.

[SuperDan]

We're down to two. Sandhills had to forefit due to lack of available cars. They said they just didn't have the cars available rite now. So now it's just us and yall! If yall want our list it's Hollywood, Slolime, and MaxPower for NA. And SpeedJunky, Tiddies, and prob Screamingfast pa. One of our pa cars and one of our na cars both droped this week, so we moved out alternates in and are setting up new alternates now. Yall cant laugh if we show up with like a 14 sec na car now. Lol. Cuz we just may be forced to do this if none of our faster guys will step up.

That sucks they had to drop but its still going to be fun.. We arent laughing at anybody cause we might have to use some 14 sec cars too!!!

[SuperDan]

Good, we're hoping for an even playing feild. It'll be funner that way. Each of us have a few ringers, but over all come out really close.

[1992vert]

Yes, we just had an N/A guy drop last night(sorry, not NC STANG GUY :taunt::lol1:) , so we're looking for a replacement but don't see a problem getting it filled rather quickly. I'll call you to discuss and then send you a refreshed list. :thumbsup1:

[91svtcoupe]

Im changing out the rear studs on my car this weekend....tired of running around with 4 1/2 on each side......:sad1:

couldn't never get it to tighten up........always spun out the back.....Now I should be able to leave the line atleast at 1500rpm......long ride back home if I break....lol :yes1:


I also did a clay bar on it some last night...should move through the air alittle better.....:thumbsup1:

[86gt30283]

I have some bad news guys. i broke last night on my second test pass in atlanta...:thumbsdown1: tune was dead on. a/f ratio was tits and was just working on my launch and not shaking the tires and my brains out.. pretty sure i left some in my helment my first pass. but on my second run as i let out at the top end something broke in right bank piston area. think its number 2 maybe skirt or wrist pin going to tear down tonight as soon as i can get it in the shop. but on the good side at least she broke an hour away from home and not 5 hours away trying to take home the gold.... im still totally bummed though

[mustang91lx]

I hate that man was looking forward to seeing that car again!!!

[cobra_4]

:thumbsdown1: **** bro that sucks.

[86gt30283]

jeff im starting to think this block is cursed.. lol.. once i get it tore down tonight ill know where to go with it.

[boostedcoupe]

So, with the recent and unfortunate drop outs I was just curious who the replacements are. Are the alternates in and we gotta get some more or..... just curious. Im ready to go!

[Dan"s 88]

I will be leaving the house Saturday Morning if anyone wants to tag along from Mooresville :thumbsup1:

that blows. We're having technical difficulties too. Everybodys either breaking, getting called into work, or has prior arrangments for that weekend.

[86gt30283]

ya its kinda a bummer but i am glad it happened in atlanta and not all the way at the rock. But it broke two pistons the top rings were getting in a bind in the bore and poped the top of the piston apart. so im going a different route on my next set up...

[Notch93]

that blows. We're having technical difficulties too. Everybodys either breaking, getting called into work, or has prior arrangments for that weekend.

Since WOT is having issues as well, we just need to get both clubs there to put on a good show, so this event will happen again in the future.:yes1:

[justamach]

thought i was broke too. believe i got it fixed. car was blowing coolant out the coolant tank. put a new cap and t-stat on and drove it around today. seems to be fixed. are there still 3 na and 3 pa cars for both sites?

That's awesome Justin, I hope that was it!

Both clubs have experienced one or two dropouts due to mechanical failures and personal reasons, but both plan to back fill with new racers as the show must go on!!!

[boostedcoupe]

We are gonna go th shadyside this sunday and try out the drag radials one more time. If we can't get them figured out by then we will bolt the Hoosier quick time pros back on and rock and roll.

[Chadwick87lx]

I'm hoping to make it there as long as work permits. If coupe is done with exhaust it will be in the show. I know I won't win anything but I'm proud of what I got.

[93fakesnake]

Just to give everybody a heads up I talked to our shirt girl today and she is sending me shirts out so we will have shirts and decals to sell at this event. I'm still trying to get off to come to this so if I dont come these items will be sent with someone that is...

[wsd91stang]

[1992vert]

Saturday's forecast is looking good folks!!!!

http://images.ibsys.com/char/images/weather/auto/5day_400x300.jpg

[Notch93]

So whats the game plan about where/when we're suppose to meet,etc,etc,etc...?

I was just getting ready to ask that question as well. I assuming somewhere off of 74. What time does everyone want to get there by?

[93fakesnake]

:bat:

May have to work Sat and Sun night.. I got to work Sun night so if I can atleast get off Sat I'll be happy

[Chadwick87lx]

I will be there unveiling the coupe. Looks good at 40 ft haha. But makes my black car look like Crap, also is a bit faster than the hatch was. I'm excited about this.

[SuperDan]

I talked to Blake yesterday and he said he would like all cars racing there BY 11:00 am for a quick tech inspection. He also said the belt may not be ready by then, but he'll make sure it goes to the winning club as soon as it gets ready. He's not sure where we're gonna park, but said he would have somewhere roped off for us. Other than that everything's still on.

Sounds good Dan. 11am arrival will be fine. Like you and I talked about on the phone, I'm hopeful the club parking area will be close to the car show as we'll have a number of members wanting to participate in that as well and would prefer we're not spread all over the complex. :thumbsup1:

what type of tech are we looking at?

Im no racer and I don't have a Race car.....

Bring a helmet if you have one Rob...otherwise tech is a 2min deal as your car will be fine.

Man you should've use an old NOS energy drink bottle. Heard those pick you up at least a couple tenths :lol1::thumbsup1:

And X2 on what Troy said about tech. It mostly consist of handing them a tech card and them writing a number on your car.

[darren]

I ran 137 down there in my vert and they didn't even check to see if it had a cage. Didn't look under the hood or anything. You'll be fine.

[91svtcoupe]

Thanks Troy, and a Fellow Fox Member "Tanner" helped me out with a Helmet Today,
Thanks

Man you should've use an old NOS energy drink bottle. Heard those pick you up at least a couple tenths :lol1::thumbsup1:

I thought about it....but then I thought the other club might think I had a cheater system on the car........:lol1:

[1992vert]

Ok, just got off the phone with Blake Holcomb to get a handle on how this will all go down.

Friday

- Regular Friday Night TnT 6pm - ???

Saturday
- Gates open at 8am
- Tech Inspection opens at 8am
- Shakedown passes begin at 9am(kinda like a last minute TnT that's timed)
- Classes run all throughout the day(final schedule will be available at the track)
- 3rd round qualifying begins at 6pm, after that they'll run True Street which has the Club Shootout embedded

We well have designated parking for the clubs behind the spectator grandstand side of the track. This is the grassy area where they usually hold the car shows as well.

So you come in thru the main gate(pit side), pay and make your way over to the other side of the track(tell the workers your heading to the car show/club parking area). Establish base camp in the club parking area, fill out your tech cards for racing or info cards for showing. Then you're free to move your car into a show spot or head towards tech inspection.

We'll have all day to check out the club cars that'll be racing and set up pairings for the best action(side action that is ;)). The spectator grandstands will be right behind us for easy access to check out some racing throughout the day.

We'll have a table of merchandise for sale(shirts and stickers). We'll also have a grill for cooking out, so if you want to save some dough bring a cooler with your food to cook up.

RPM Magazine and GoneDragRacing.com will be on hand with media coverage. Spoils to the victor is a Club Shootout Championship belt, but Mickey Thompson and Fore Precision may step up with some love as well.

I know some of you are camping out Friday & Saturday night, but most will be day tripping on Saturday. NC STANG GUY, notch93 and myself plan to be there by 8:30am with our trailers and E-Z UPs so we'll be on the lookout for members as you roll in.

If have any questions post up here or feel free to call me on race day 704-661-1164(cell).
See you at The Rock!! :3gears:

Is anybody doing tnt Friday night? And can anyone run the Sat morning shakedown runs? I'm coming up Friday night after work hopefully get there around 10ish. Our hotel is in Laurinburg. See you guys there.

[Notch93]

I'm not 100% sure who will be down Friday night. I know most are driving down Saturday. I'll shoot Blake a e-mail and double check on the Saturday morning T&T for you. Should give the true street people a little T&T time.

Usually if you are there early enough you'll be able to get in a couple passes in the morning "shakedown" practice session.

[boostedcoupe]

We spent tonight getting Greg's car tuned up. We are gonna go to greer thursday night to get some test runs in. We should be at the rock around 10 am on saturday.

Pretty sure the shakedown passes are open to all tech'd racers.

[1992vert]

Also...ATTENTION: SHOOTOUT RACER'S...you will need to pay your gate entry($20) and race fee($25) when you arrive, then see KB for reimbursement on race fee.

Way easier to do that instead of trying to pre-pay, only to confuse the track workers and create a snag along the way!! (hey...that ryhmed!) :thumbsup1:

After talking with Troy last night and having him tell me everything that's going on at Civil Wars, I am PUMPED! :burnout:

I'm going to be running BJ's 26x10.50 ET Streets, so we'll see how much the stock axles like it! 12's or BUST! :lol1:

[SuperDan]

WOT will be there around 10:15ish Saturday.
Our revised racer list is:

PA:
ScreamingFast (04 Cobra) aka Club Prez
SpeedJunky (02 Saleen)
SuperDan (02 GT)
and we may not have an alternate... :(

NA:
Hollywood (06 GT)
Stang910 (2011 GT)
MaxPower (Mach 1)
Alternate: Slolime (2011 GT)


Blake told me yesterday that the belt may not be finished by Saturday, but he'll make sure it goes to the propper club when it comes in.

[turbocoupe]

You know, I've been drag racing since I was 16, which was quite a few years ago. This is the first event I've ever tried to compete in and I gotta say that kinda giddy like a school girl. :)

[NC STANG GUY]

Just wanted to add that if anyone is coming from the Charlotte area early Sat you are welcome to meet up and convoy with us if you're going this way.

We'll be meeting at 1620 East Roosevelt Blvd (highway 74)Monroe,NC 28110 by 7:30am.
It's an old BiLo parking lot that's easy to get in and out of. (store was closed down)
Leaving from there at 7:30 SHARP.

Long as you have a helmet you'll be fine. Might even get away with wearing shorts but I'd bring some pants just in case. Rock isn't too picky.

Aint that the truth. Everytime I have seen him thats his outfit. Thanks for the Driveshaft Justin. I just got my car back on the road. Had to take the rear end apart to replace a side gear that was about to come apart. A twisted yoke can mess some stuff up. I will need a new gear and bearings after this weekend buit they should be fine for now. Just a bit of gear whine. I'm ready like everybody else, it cant get here fast enough. I'm shooting for getting to the track around 9:30-10:00 and maybe try and get a test pass in.

[SuperDan]

So WOT has hit it's share of speed bumps. I talked to Troy last night to tell him everything thats going on, but just so it doesn't look shadey I wanted to tell everybody on here. We're having people drop out left and right, my cars in the shop getting the rearend built and while buttoning everything up last night found out i was sent the wrong axles. They're too long and the hub is too big so my rotors won't go back on. We plan on having it done by Saturday, but just in case, I may not be racing. Speedjunkys car is at Fastlane getting it's rearend built and tuned but no word on when he's getting it back. We did talk one of our other guy into stepping up since we will prob be down a car between Speedjunky and myself. So 04Redfire will be our other PA car.

Blake Holcomb will email me the True Street time sheet when he gets it from "Steve". I'll post them here upon receipt.

I also discussed with him about what worked and what didn't. All things to consider for the fall race. ;)

[puttputt]

Great to finally see you again. Putt Putt.

Good to see you again also brother.

[ScreamingFast]

Guys I still haven't had a lot of time to get back up with Blake at Holcomb but we are already going to make it official that we will do this again this fall in Sept for Civil Wars. I hope we can work alittle closer on this to make this event bigger and better!! Keep you guys informed!!

[turbocoupe]

Just let us know, we will be there.

[1992vert]

I hadn't received anything from Blake as of this morning so I called Holcomb and spoke with Kenny (Holcomb) and he had the time sheets, but not electronically so I gave him my fax number to send it that way(which I just received). I'm going to post them up shortly. In the meantime here are the index winners.

9sec & Fastest: Darin Edwards
10sec: Billy White
11sec: Justin Stewart
12sec: Ryan Strickland
13sec: Dylan Boren

He's sending plaques and gift certificates to all the winners today(to the addresses you wrote on your tech cards)

[1992vert]

I took the faxed time sheets and input everything into spreadsheets, however I won't be able to scan and post them here until tonight. The official club times I come up with are:

WOTMC
PA - 04 termi 11.398
PA - 04 termi 11.998
NA - 11 5.0 12.261
NA - 07 GT 12.883
NA - 04 Mach 13.081

WOTMC Total 61.621

SEFB
PA - Darin(turbo coupe) PA 9.084
PA - Justin(NO2 Mach) PA 11.226
NA - Billy(big inch windsor coupe) NA 10.606
NA - Brent(Bullitt) NA 12.651
NA - Dylan(stock axle GT) NA 13.081

SEFB total: 56.648 sec

These are very close to our unofficial estimates. Please check my math and of course whether I have the correct times for each racer, but baring that we should have an official winner!!

[1992vert]

Times(look for your car #)

Round 1 Races(remember the first two were the three cars that signed up for True Street by themselves so you can ignore them)

Round 2 Races(somebody broke in round 1 :hide: which caused the match ups to get out of sync)

If I can get a little motivation I'll have my car done and at the fall race. I just need to get to work!!! I have to admit though it's a relaxing trip to just go down without a car and watch :D

[ЯooK12]

Nice sig darren!! Wheres the confusion??

[1992vert]

Hey guys. We're already working on this falls Civil War race now. I wanted to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly on the event we just had so we can work on improving our event from here on out.

1. Better designated parking - Somewhere over on the pit road side of the track...could hardly hear the load speaker announcements where we were and very little spectator foot traffic
.
2. Some sort of contingency - Expensive these days anytime you run your car, nevermind the risk and potential added expense of breaking. Racing for pride is great, but racing for a prize would've brought more guys off the sideline(at least in our club it would have)
3. The True Street format worked well.
4. Letting the non-club cars go first was good.
5. Pairing up the cars like we did made for the best racing possible, although having an odd number of clubs(3) will make that more difficult.
6. I believe some guys would liked to of had a practice pass or two, but there seemed to be some confusion whether or when that would happen.
7. Running the Club Challenge/True Street on Saturday(vs Sunday) worked best and I believe would be our preferance again in the fall.
8. I liked how we had the clubs lined up across from one another in the "pits".
9. Not sure if running a Pro Tree vs Sportsman made a difference to anyone??


...and lastly, can you have Blake order up some better weather next time!!! :lol1:

[boostedcoupe]
