As some may know, and for those who don't, this event is for the kids at Riley Hospital for Children-Here in Indianapolis. For whatever reason, those kids were dealt a bad blow early on in their lives, and because of that, we are coming together, as an automobile community, to roll up our sleeves, tighten the chin-strap on our helmets, and go out there and RIP IT UP on the track, and raise alot of money for those kids!! It will be a day you WON'T FORGET!!
Here is how we are going to spend the day:
It is an Import vs Domestic Shootout, to see "Who has what", in terms of strait-line acceleration, braking, cornering, and overall handling of their cars. This year we are changing the events a bit, to keep it EXCITING to both Participate in, and to WATCH!! The pace and events will be fast, and will be the most fun you can have, and you should go home at the end of the day, with a warm heart, and a grin that won't wipe off!!
Number of cars: The field will be bigger this year, whereas we will have 130 cars. (65 for TEAM IMPORT/65 FOR TEAM USA) Registration will be open for a couple months, to get everyone who wants to compete, a change to enter the "pool" of participants. Teams will be selected at that time, to be evenly matched, in their classes.
Racing Events:
1. Auto-x. Each team member has 3 passes on a large autox course. This event you will race for lowest time/fastest run, which will count for the team.
2. Dragrace: You will have 5 passes down the dragstrip, with LOW E.T. being the time you keep for the team.
3. Carshow for Racers: Your car will be parked and judged and scored. This is your "break time" to go look around/eat/take in the cars in the GENERAL carshow, etc...
This is a "TEAM" effort, whereas 65 cars compete for points for their team, and at the end of the day, we will crown one team: "Winged Warrior III Speed Challenge Champions!" Either Team USA, or Team IMPORT.
There will also be individual battles. Your Team USA class, will be pitted against the same class on the Team IMPORT side! We will award trophies to each class 1st/2nd/3rd.
The Car/Motorcycle/racecar/exotic/truck show will be going on the grounds at the same time. There will be LOTS of trophies/Prizes that are up for grabs, and plenty of Vendors, food drink and more!.
(If you are considering Vending/Sponsoring, let us know as the spaces are filling up)
This is just a brief update on how we are running things for this event, and how things are going to work out for this year, it is OPEN to people with STOCK cars, all the way up to WOW cars, NO EXPIERENCE, to LOTS OF EXPIERENCE- This event is OPEN FOR YOU!
You will walk away from this event, with a happy feeling, that you did the best you could, both for yourself, and the kids who need you, and surely you will have made friends which will last a lifetime!

i would love to participate in this event, but i have a pretty much stock car...no sponsers or anything. But i do have autox experience, and an attractive MINI if i may say so, lol. Would I fit in with the Imports there?

Edit: I tried registering but there is an error on the page after the "Other Mods" section. Maybe registration is full?

 

ooooops! Sorry, I forgot I posted down here! And I usually don't get replies. GO SIGN UP!!! The registration is NOT full! Let me know if you can't get in and regisered!

 

STOCK IS FINE!!! There are 6 classes based on mods,or lack thereof!

 

Try it now! Should have it fixed.

 

Yup, it works now, I registered, and i hope i get selected, thanks!

 

Got it!! Nice looking car!

 

Some good event info, on how things will be "played out".
http://www.wingedwarrior.net/eventinfo.php

 

I guess the easiest way to explain this event to someone is: We want to see which team of 65 cars (import or domestic)scores the most points! (DRAGS the AUTO-X, and the carshow portion. (not to be confused with the GENERAL CARSHOW!). This event will test the teams capabilites in STOPPING/TURNING/BRAKING and FLATOUT ACCELERATION!! So that part is the team effort. What your STRONG event is, may be your teammate in another classes weakness- got to help each other out.
On top of that, whatever "class" you are in, you also will get to vie for trophies amongst your class: 1/2/3rd place in all events! It will be quite a fun/exciting day all the way around. So........If your car is just better suited for drags, YOUR TEAM STILL NEEDS YOU!! and if your car is better suited for AUTOX, YOUR TEAM ALSO NEEDS YOU! So don't think you can't enter due to (Enter excuse here) because you CAN! No expierence is needed, and there will be cars from BONE STOCK, to highly Modded. Bone stock Imports will run against Bone stock Domestic cars, etc... Whatever car you have in your garage right now, is PERFECT for this event! Register it!

 

REGISTRATION FOR THOSE WANTING TO RACE, IS OVER ON MARCH 15th! Jump in now, or wait till next year!!

 

aww boooo i didnt get selected. i was really excited about participating in this too. That sucks.

 

[size=24]TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THE KIDS FROM WWIII IS: $15,288.00[/size]
Amount of $2.23 stays in the account. (Got to leave something in there.) Great job guys! I want to personally thank everyone, including Mike at ORP, ALL sponsors/Vendors, racers, people behind the scenes, Mikey/Brian/Dale and all the volunteers. Without all you have done, we wouldn't have been able to do this, nor raise so much for the kids! Lets triple it for next year!
[size=18]TO RECAP[/size]:
WW0: (Carshow only) $290 raised for indegent kids to buy them Christmas gifts.
WWI: Mt. Comfort airport: $1900-ish
WWII: Anderson Airport: $5000-ish
WWIII: O'Reilly Raceway Park $15,288.00
So............. $22,478 was raised since we started this endeavor. Not too bad, and it is making a difference in the kids' lives. My/our alternative would be to sit on the sideline and do nothing- life is too short for doing that! I say $50K at least next year! Who agrees with me?
That check will be presented to the Cheer Guild Tomorrow at their Luncheon. I am sure they will come on here and comment. :thumbup: :thumbup:
The trend is going UP, so that is a great growth curve, and shows we are on the right path to success. Again, thanks to all. :headbang :headbang
