    Just got the word:

    It's official. O'Reilly Raceway Park, formerly known as Indianapolis Raceway Park, the grand-daddy of all drag strips and home of the largest drag racing event in the world, the U.S. Nationals, is opening one week early for a PRIVATE SRT-only drag racing event!!

    Details:


    March 22, 2008
    Gates open at 9:00am
    Drag racing starts at 10:00am, and we have the track for six hours.
    Drag racing stops at 4:00pm.

    Cost: $50 per car
    Limited to 100 cars total.
    Only Modern Mopar SRT's and 5.7L Hemi-powered LX's are eligible.
    So some SRT-8's, SRT-4's, SRT-6's, SRT-10 Trucks and Vipers.

    This is being called the SRT Shoot-out, but our 5.7L friends are included.

    This event is a not for profit event. Any excess money from entries and sponsors will be returned in the form of prize money.

    Here's O'Reilly Raceway Park's website with drag racing schedule:

    http://www.oreillyracewaypark.com/apcm/templates/racedivisions.asp?articleid=17809&zoneid=95

    You'll notice that the first event of the season is March 29th. They are opening one week early just for us. This is a true private event not open to the public.

    Sign up on one of the forums to reserve your spot.

    Great opportunity for an EARLY run in this part of the country.

    I'll maintain a list on this and other LX-based forums to keep track of people. Payment arrangements will be made in the near future.

    No one here within range of Indy?

    We've got 11 people signed up in the first 2 hours - but none from this forum? Come on guys. Someone's within a couple hundred miles of Indy other than me.

    If I weren't in a family way....I'd be finding a way to do this. Sounds like a lot of fun on a great track. Though I'm more interested in the curvy courses. :happy:

    I'm from Dayton and still have family there. That would be a nice break-in drive for my new motor.
