Speed Unlimited ET Series Saturday Schedule
for the 2008 Season

January 25, 2008

The Saturday E.T. schedule will remain the same as last year. It has worked very well and helps reduce the amount of time a racer needs to be at the track to compete in his or her class. The day is divided into two groups; the first group will be Junior Dragster and Test & Tune, and the second group will be Top, Mod, Streetbike ET and Test & Tune. Gates will open at 1:00 pm on weekly E.T. events that do not have a morning car club. This will give everyone a full hour to come in, park and go through tech before we start time runs at 2:00 pm. On Saturdays with a morning club, the gates will open at 9:00 am; and the E.T. racers are welcome to come in from that point on.

The weekly Saturday schedule will have Junior Dragster and Test & Tune time runs starting at 2:00 pm, with their eliminations begin at 3:30 pm. There will be two rounds of Junior Dragster eliminations before we begin time runs for all other classes at 4:30 pm. Junior Dragster eliminations will finish between the second group of classes; and their finals should conclude around 6:00 pm.

The second group (Top, Mod, Streetbike ET and Test & Tune) will start time runs at 4:30 pm. There will be two sessions (with the second session being the bogey run). Their eliminations will then start at approximately 7:00 pm. This will allow racers in both groups to stay in rhythm with their time runs and eliminations without the hassle of long delays between runs. In addition, it will better accommodate Junior parents that also race in other classes, allowing them to concentrate on one race at a time.

For the three special events that have the full Speed Unlimited ET series (the May 3rd Mountain Motor Nationals, the August 16th Jet Wars, and the Sept. 27th SuperChargers Showdown), the racer gates will open at 11:00 am, Junior time trials start at 12:00 noon and their eliminations begin at 1:30 pm. In Mod ET, StreetBike ET and Top ET, time trials will start at 2:00 pm with eliminations starting at 4:00 pm. Test & Tune will not be run at these 3 events. Please be at the track early as we are vigilant in our push to stay on schedule so that we can complete all ET classes by curfew. On special ET events such as the Computech Raider ET Challenge, $5K Double Headers, etc., please refer to the event flyer (available on mirdrag.com) for the exact schedule. We also welcome you to call our office at 301-884-9833 with any questions you may have.
