Yupp and considering it is Grudge for the fastest, from FBE Club I'd only give Bruce a chance... we other don't even need to try.

Bruce please be aware, right at the end of the quartermile is a left turn to slow down.
I do not know if there is going to be a test run allowed, and I do not know (yet) if or what timing is used, and for that much money in Germany I am sure there is some folks willing to steal and kill (thinking about foreigners to not name countries)

However I wish you best of luck!!! and if you want some backup people going with you let us know :wink:

Wow. Thanks for all the details, now it became easier for me to understand certain things... :(

I also looked into that "Burn" contest on Lausitzring and downloaded the rules: The rules consist of 17 pages - now that is very german... :lol:


BTW What about a trophy for the slowest yellow f-Body with smallest displacement, smallest number of cylinders and driven by the tallest person?

(And could you send it to my home address, so I don´t have to drive up to Bitburg? j/k I think i´ll be there on 1th of May, even without return route over the runway... :cry: )

well, if you drive consistent you always got a good chance in the Bracket :D

where is the download for lausitzring? maybe I get Dennis to go in the open class - no not really, he don't need a left curve at his speed at the end of the quarter...
on the german dragracing board they mentioned some accidents.

Jack, this is not a Burnout contest.
It is Grudge Races over the quarter mile. The fastest wins.

"Burn" is the new energy drink from Coca Cola came out last year,
there was a commercial on TV in 2003, first in Spain, but I have seen it somewhere, with dragracing scenes in the background, and I applied at Coca Cola Germany for getting sponsoring, but it seems I gave them ideas for Public Races in Germany but Bitburg is not as popular as the Lausitzring they forwarded me to Coca Cola Kaiserslautern and they were not interested :(

on top is a "PDF Download" button.

Looks like the use those round transmitters for timing.
Very accurate *cough*

I once won 3 bracket races and got kicked out, but perhaps i´ll try it again ;)
