Racewars IX Track Rental - Monday, Nov 11th 2019 - Official Thread

[Blackbirdws6]

It is that time of year again. Good air will be here soon enough so come out to the 9th annual Racewars.

General Details: RENTAL WILL BE AT ATCO RACEWAY. THE DATE IS SET FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2019.

Where:
Atco Dragway
1000 Jackson Road, Atco, NJ

Rental Guidelines:

- Rental starts at 9:30AM and ends at 4:30PM
- No street tires for RWD/FWD cars. You must be running a drag oriented tire (Drag radial, slick, etc). AWD cars are welcome with street tires but must avoid the water box. If your AWD is spinning at the line, you may be asked to run outside the groove to prevent tearing up the track prep.
- $20 non-refundable per car deposit required ($400 total deposit required to book the date)
- $180 balance due at the rental per person/car CASH to Atco representative directly.
- 10 cars minimum required
- No walk-on racers. If you did not pre-pay the deposit, no racing.
- Proper safety gear required
- Food to be provided courtesy of the MD Sheds crew IF YOU ARE ROCKING ANYTHING WITH AN AMERICAN FLAG
- If the weather is poor, the rental will be rescheduled.
- A complete list of rental guidelines courtesy of Atco can be found here: https://atcodragway.rocks/wp-content...l-Rules-18.pdf

How do I sign up?
- Send me a PM and I will provide you with the PayPal address to send the deposit
- Please send the deposit AS A GIFT!. No money is being made here and all funds go to Atco.
- If you have a friend that wants to race, I will need their name, car and what tire they are running. Please do not have friends send me a deposit out of the blue.

What to expect when you arrive:
- Plan to arrive early!
- Different from years past, you will enter in from the main gate and park on the spectator side
- Find me so I can hand you a tech sheet. You will complete the tech sheet and when Atco comes to tech your car, you can pay him the balance owed ($180).
- Atco will give the green light when the track is prepped and ready to race. I always speak to them the day prior to make sure they are ready to rock as close to 9AM as possible. I also ask them to make sure the scale is on as well.
- The speed shop will be open for those that want to purchase race fuel or other items.

Ill be driving Osies car. Cant wait!

[Blackbirdws6]

TGIF! We have a BIG group of cars coming on Monday and I expect more to come in today/over the weekend as folks look to commit to attending.

Weather is looking very good at the moment so it looks like we will all have a great day. I will be talking to Atco before Monday to do my best to have the track ready by 9:30AM, scales on and make sure they are ready for a crowd.

My small ask of spectators and racers is to please take pics/video throughout the day if you can. Folks love pics/vid content and it would be great to capture the memories to aide our ever weakening minds.

[MDSheds_SS]

Don’t Forget the guys/gals that give us the freedom to have such events. Rock that Red White n Blue for our Vets. Your stomach will thank you for it.

[Blackbirdws6]

Spoke to Atco and they will be ready for us.

I am soooooo pumped! I just got my car back today from Dave and the guys at EFX. They are the best! Cannot thank them enough for getting me ready for the rental on Monday. Car feels great can't wait to see what it runs and get back into racing again. Looking forward to racing with you guys looks like some awesome cars coming!

[transampete]

Well fellas, I'm not going to make it. I have a little issue with my trans and don't want to risk hurting a fresh transmission. Maybe I see you guys in the spring.

[townsend]

As ready as we are gonna be. See you guys in the morning

[Dave@EFX]

See you guys tomorrow.
