Hey guys and gals, after a lot of time and effort, we put together a private runway shootout. Some of us have waited our whole lives for something like this... and Shift-S3ctor brings you our first Airstrip Attack event! I am posting in this in most sections to reach out and get the widest variety and most awesome cars to do battle.


Where: Trona Airport. 14902 Airport Rd Trona, CA 93562
When: Saturday, February 25th, 2012. 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What: A 1/2 mile of acceleration in a rolling side by side competition.


*********** THE EVENT IS BEING HOSTED AT A NEW LOCATION********


We decided it was best not only for vehicle performance, but also for safety concerns to host the event at Trona Airport. Trona Airport is at an elevation of 1700 ft. which is significantly lower than our original venue and should allow cars to run a little better. We now have a longer runway as well (just over a mile) which allows for even more braking room for our 1/2 mile of acceleration. This runway is also at a 1.8% downgrade whereas our original location was slightly uphill.


This should be of no inconvenience since this new location is only about 20 minutes away from the original. The nearest hotels are still in the Ridgecrest area.


Lastly, come to the event with a FULL TANK OF GAS. Unfortunately, there are no convenient gas stations by our new location, so be sure to plan your fill ups before you arrive.



This first Airstrip Attack event is expected to bring various types of cars
together to do some high speed, side by side racing on a private airstrip. You will be able to start from a roll, 25 mph to 50 mph, and accelerate for 1/2 mile, against your friend or enemy. It will be a War of the Worlds, as we expect a variety of American Muscle, JDM and European machines to show up and do battle. A winner will be announced at the end of the day.
We are aiming to keep racing off the streets and provide a badass outlet to race your car, flat out, against whoever you choose.


We have rented a private airstrip in Southern California to have this side by side battle of horsepower to see the baddest street cars at war. Inspired by Dragtimes and the Moscow Unlimited (both events in europe), we decided it was more than necessary to put the baddest street cars in the states head to head. No more bench racing or youtube arguments, this is for real.


From stock cars to highly modified vehicles, all are welcome. Convertibles are required to have a roll bar. ALL participants are required to bring and wear helmets. Tech Inspection will be heavily enforced. You may also bring your own race gas. Keep it off the streets and do it legally in a safe environment! Professional video and photography will be on hand.


Awards will be given for:
Fastest car of the day.
Fastest tuner of the day.


There will be a handful of performance shops out there sponsoring the event as well as participating with some crazy shop cars.

Some of the shops include Cunningham Motorsports, BBI, Gintani, ESS, and HG Motorsports.


Early pricing right now is at $225 per vehicle, which includes unlimited runs throughout the entire day. We expect somewhere between 5 and 10 runs per vehicle.


This is a LIMITED NUMBER event. This will not be open to the public to spectate. Only those participating and their immediate friends and family can attend.

Hmmm, about 4-5 hours away...

AMGPilot

ummm unless it's a magic runway it's downhill from one end and uphill from the other

pearlpower

I preferred Inyokern. SIGH.

hbr

I'm gonna guess the way they are running is downhill

Sounds like a killer time

justinwrock

Do you need to have any sort of competition/racing license?

VetteFish

Nope. All that is required (aside from a driver's license obviously) is to bring an approved DOT/Snell Helmet and fill out our self tech form which will be posted a few weeks prior to the event.

VetteFish

We have arranged a group rate with the Hampton Inn in Ridgecrest.

http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/h...tyhocn=RCTCAHX
The rate is only $79.20 for Friday night, please book on their website and use code "CHXASA ". We have confirmed with them that they have plenty of parking for trailers, and have security on site all night. They will also block off a section for parking in the front of the hotel. Please book your room early as these will sell out quickly

VetteFish

Could use some more AMG's on that list

BenzoBoi

I'm thinkin about rollin just to watch this epicness!

pearlpower

Maybe roll together? I'm still tossing this around. If I get my killer chiller installed and tuned up in time......

VetteFish

Unfortunately, due to safety concerns in regard to space, we are not allowing general spectators. Spectators who come with a registered driver are allowed, but we just do not have the room to safely accomodate the general public. It is plainly a safety issue.

falconsprint

I'm the only AMG on the list! Isn't anyone else interested? Looking at the list of attendees, I'm going to be looking at a lot of M3 taillights.

How are they getting 900+ HP out of a 2003 M3? NOS?

justinwrock

That 2003 M3 is prolly running a HorsePower Freaks Stage 3 setup. IIRC, they are close to 1k HP.


I am about 70% sure that I am going to register - I am waiting to see what a friend does. He might have a suspended CA license at the time.

Stage 3 O_O

BenzoBoi

That sucks. I understand though. Hope you guys have fun and record lots of video's!
That would have been awesome but spectators are not allowed.
I was interested in running but looking at the rest of the field, about 75% of the list will destroy me.

The E46's are getting those numbers via a turbo from HPF. Check Justinwrock's link.

justinwrock

lol, I am thinking of running my stock 55!


I figure I got nothing to lose...

falconsprint

I'll have a Renntech tune and intercoolor upgrade by then. But even with 670hp my 4400lb SL65 is going to be playing catch-up. It will be fun anyway. A good chance to put the right foot down legally and make some friends.

xtyper

I'm going. I think you E55/E63 guys would be interesting to run against.

BenzoBoi

Best of luck and look forward to seeing how you do compared to the pack!

I put down my right foot legally quite often at different track events I attend too. Good times with other enthusiasts from all backrounds of cars!
