Who Attended Supra Shootout 2005
UPDATE MAY 21, 2006: Talladega Roadcourse will
be closed this fall due to expansion of the track, and
all other tracks I have check so far around the southeast
are booked for the normal weekend we do Supra Shootout
(end of October), so we may have to push the event back
a week or so to be able to run the road course.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the DVD for the event is
a bit behind. Order now by PayPal'ing $32 to sv5fire@aol.com
(HighFive Productions), or contact me for other payment
options! Teaser clip coming soon!

Schedule:
**TO PARTICIPATE IN ROAD RACING, DRAG DAY, DYNO DAY,
OR THE SHOW-N-SHINE, YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER TO BE GUARANTEED
A SPOT! You can reserve your spot at the hotel, road course,
drag strip, dyno, or show-n-shine by going here--> (www.SupraShootout.com/register.php).**
Friday, October 28 (Hotel check-in, DYNO and SHOW-N-SHINE
at AAP):
-Friday will consist of checking-in to the hotel and getting
your 'Welcome Pack' that contains raffle tickets, maps, an itinerary,
and a few other items from the event sponsors. Then, drive just
a few miles down the road to Anderson Audio & Performance for
the 'Show-N-Shine' and 'Dyno' events. The 'Show-N-Shine' event
is FREE, and the 'Dyno' event is only $29 for 3 power pulls,
so we encourage EVERYONE who drives a Supra to the event to
participate even if you aren't concerned with winning because
you will be entered in a raffle for a parts/cash prize! People
will 'Dyno' and be judged for the 'Show-N-Shine' after they
arrive and check in at the table set up just inside the shop
near the dyno. Events will start around 2:00pm while people
start arriving, and will continue until about 9:00pm. We'll
then caravan back to the hotel for a group dinner at Carrabba's
next door to the hotel (walking distance) around 10:00 PM.
Saturday, October 29 (1/4 mile drag strip):
Saturday morning at 9:00am we will be caravaning west just over
the state line to the Wingate Inn in Oxford to check-in and
drop off your luggage, then IMMEDIATELY drive up to Alabama
International 1/4-mile Dragway. When we hit the Alabama
state line, we loose an hour (time zone change, reset your watch!),
so we should arrive at the hotel around 9:30am-10am (Central
time), and will caravan up to the dragstrip at 10:15am-10:30am
central. We should arrive at the dragstrip around 11:30-NOON
central. When you check-in at the dragstrip, you will be given
a number on your windshield, and when your group/round is ready
to race we'll announce your number over the intercom. We will
organize everyone at this time at the 10'x10' canopy/tent we
will have set up next to the stands and pits right up front.
The test-n-tune racing starts at NOON. After a brief cool-down
and test passes, racing will start at 1:00pm central sharp,
DO NOT BE LATE if you want to race! You can race between rounds
as much as you like! It is only $15 to race OR watch, so everyone
is encouraged to get out on the track an have fun while you
are there instead of just watching (like last year!) This year's
event will be very organized compared to last year. Also, this
track is MUCH more lax on their rules because they are not a
NHRA sanctioned track, so there is no tech inspection (other
than basic things like no cords showing on tires, ect)! This
is good news for some of you with high end street cars. After
this event is over, we'll hand out awards at the track, and
the event will be over around 6:00pm or so. We will then all
caravan back to the Wingate Inn, and everyone who is running
the road course on Sunday can pre-register at the hotel until
8pm so you don't have to waste time doing it Sunday morning
at the track. We'll then go have dinner around 8pm at a restaraunt/lounge
called the 'Lonestar Steakhouse' (within walking distance of
hotel.) Afterwards, we'll hand out the trophies/gift certificates
for the overall winners at the hotel around 9-10pm.
Sunday, October 30 (Road Racing):
-We will gain an extra hour of sleep Saturday night thanks to
the fall time change. Everyone who is running the road course
will need to check out of the hotel around 6:45-7:00am in the
morning and caravan to Talladega
Grand Prix Raceway for a day of road racing! Those of you
not participating in the event can come when you like, as all
classes will be running by about 9-10am. The event will be over
around 6pm. There are NO walls around the track so this is great
for beginners. We'll have 4 groups or so depending on the number
of entrants, which will be divided according to driver skill.
Barry Hair (SCCA regional executive officer) and a couple other
people with experience at this track will act as instructor
for those of you who have never road raced, and will ride along
with you for a session to teach you the basics of performance
driving, track etiquette, etc. I doubt you'll find road racing
anywhere this cheap. Road Atlanta is several hundred dollars
per day. We will NOT have a timed event this year due to insurance
prices, but we WILL next year! Here is a list of the 35 entrants
for the road course:

------------------------------------------------------------
Shootout classes/prizes:
- -This year we are once again focusing on '93-98 Supras,
as we don't want to spread ourselves too thin. In coming
years, we'll have both better awards AND more classes for
MK1-MK3's. Sorry to do this, but I've learned that there
is much better success specializing in a niche.
- -Just like last year, there is a 'points' system where
participants earn a certain amount of points depending on
what position they place compared to other Supras in their
class in any given event (drag/dyno/show-n-shine.) Every
Supra that runs at the drag strip, dynos, or competes in
the show-n-shine will automatically be entered in the Shootout/points
race for free. Next year, road racing will be included in
the points system, and hopefully a nice cash prize for the
winner.
Classes for participants:
- -MK1-MK3 collective class (ALL '79-'92 Supras)
- -Non-turbo
- -Stock twin turbos
- -Power-Adder (1 of the following: Upgraded turbo(s), nitrous,
aftermarket transmission [TH400, etc]...GASOLINE ONLY)
- -Unlimited (2 or more of the following: Upgraded turbo(s),
nitrous, aftermarket transmission [TH400, etc)...MUST retain
factory type independant rear suspension, no solid axle
cars. *Also, please note the AAP drag Supra will race 'exhibition'
to keep this class competitive, and will not be in this
class UNLESS there is another obvious low-mid 8 second car
there.
Awards/prizes: (this info may change depending on several
factors...)
- -2 random people staying at BOTH hotels gets their choice
of several MKIV or universal parts from Speed
For Sale LLC OR a cash prize (specific details coming
soon...) The raffle drawing will be held at the hotel after
dinner Saturday night, and you MUST be in attendance to
win!
- -2 random people participating in ALL FOUR '93-98 events
(drag/dyno/road course/show-n-shine) get their choice of
MKIV or universal parts from Speed
For Sale LLC OR a cash prize.
- -The winner of each event in each class gets an engraved
trophy that are much larger/nicer than last year's trophies
(courtesy of Anderson-Audio.com)
- -The top points winner in each class wins a gift certificate
from Jeff Watson at Champion Toyota/www.TRDperformance.com,
along with an 'Best in class' engraved trophy (courtesy
of AAP.) Unlimited class does not have a prize this year
other than bragging rights and any side bets that are placed.
Next year we hope to have a nice prize for the winner of
the Unlimited class. These people will be annouced at the
hotel after dinner on Saturday night.
