Import Face Off- Gainesville Raceway- 1/25/09

I'm starting a new thread with updated info. Here it is for those interested. If anyone has any questions, post!

Before you read any further , yes domestics are allowed at the event and are encouraged to compete. I honestly think it would be awesome for a large group of domestic guys to show up and beat alot of the import guys.

NOS Energy Drink's IMPORT FACE-OFF will be in Gainesville on Sunday, January 25th from 10am to 5pm at Gainesville Raceway. $6000+ in cash and trophies will be awarded to car show and race contestants. Activities will include: car/truck/bike show, 1/4 mile drag racing, $400 Hot Body contest (weather permitting - ladies, call 225-247-7223 to register), Usaci Stereo crank it up contest, burnout contest, DJs, vendors, giveaways, etc. FREE competition vouchers are given to contestants who travel from 200+ miles away (must preregister to receive free pass). For free voucher registration and series info, visit www.IMPORTFACEOFF.net

UPCOMING IMPORT FACE-OFF dates (tentative)...
December 21 - San Antonio, TX - San Antonio Raceway (5th annual)

Domestic Sport Compacts are, but Domestics that are full size with v8's are not. I noticed that when reading everything. It specifically even lists my car as one thats not permitted or whatever in the contests. Kinda sucks. Guess they don't want the cars that run nice times and make power there. Thats why the camaro, trans am, corvette and others were not permitted i guess.

Yeah I should have clarified that. I do see why they don't allow it though, because the big time V8 guys would show up and destroy most of the imports And there's alot of those high horsepower V8 guys in Gville.

I wanna take mine to the track finally and g ville is like a 3 hour drive for me, but the chance to have won some stuff and see a car show with judging, bikini contest, and stereo competition would have made the drive worth it. After reading everything and finding out I have no chance at winning money I figured I might as well go to the track thats 45 mins from me when I get a chance. I know I would prolly get outran if not kicked out at since I have no cage and am not stock.

I'm glad to see a even that does not allow big domestic V8's. They always come in and take over events and then complain about us being there when it was us who started it. Don't get me wrong I like V8 muscle, but a change is nice.

The Lambo thing well they can show, so could V8 Domestics as well, just not race. I'm trying to get some JBody's to go down as well.
