2009 East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout

Announcement

Five Guys Racing is pleased to announce the First Annual East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout at Rockingham Dragway (:: Rockingham Dragway.com - THE ROCK :: ) in Rockingham, North Carolina, on Sunday, November 1, 2009. “The Rock” provides a centrally located, easily accessed facility on the Eastern seaboard complete with concessons, sponsor space, and nearby hotels.


Originally intended to focus on the 4.6l naturally aspirated S197 with four, heads-up side-by-side race classes, due to popular demand the forced induction crowd is invited to participate in two classes for added excitement. The facility will manage a Sportsman ladder, and racers will face a .5 Pro Tree. The overall emphasis is on street cars you can live with and drive every day, so all cars must be tagged and registered, and cannot be gutted. Winners in each class will receive trophies, and awards are being developed as well (best 60 foot, longest road trip to the event, etc.)


The following classes have been developed:

NA Classes

Street Sleeper-- 4.0l Bolt-ons
Pure Street-- 4.6l and close to stock
Street-- 4.6l bolt-on crowd
Modified Street-- cams, longtubes, tubular suspensions and non-DOT tires
Super Street-- Stock short blocks, but allows head porting and cams
Street Eliminator-- ported heads, bored and stroked mod motor blocks and as light as you can get the car.

FI Classes

Street Renegade-- incredible 6 bangers that will humble GT owners
Wild Street--close to stock with turbo, supercharger or nitrous
Street Outlaw--no explanation needed


PM for Event rules and current class descriptions. Check back periodically as further information regarding entry fees, driver’s meeting, lodging and other items will be become available.

Registration

We are really excited! This event will be incredible. Between our awesome sponsors, Mustang Enthusiast Magazine, and our friends at 1320 photography, we are going to have the track all day and have a lot of fun.

Don't forget, this is going to be the ONLY event we have that is non-points based. Keep an eye on our site after this event and through the winter months, as we will be announcing or event line-up for next year to include the venues, the points system, series registration information, and the all important Heads-up Racing Classes and rules.

Unlike 2009, all 2010 events will be based on vehicle modification classes and true, full blown, first guy across the line wins, heads-up racing. However, something that will not change is our dedication to you, the people and the cars. This series will continue to be operated at a zero profit margin and focus on "Street Driven" cars for the average Joe.

We are doing this for you, and we can't do it without you. So, check us out on-line, and see you November 1st at Rockingham Dragway!
