I live very close to that stadium and from my experience with those roads that are outlined for the "track" is that they are very uneven. The area i have circled in blue below is like sort of depression....a small drain almost...connecting the two roads.....I don't see how cars will be able turn over that at full competition speed.

Chris, but I just confirmed all of what you said as fact, and indicated that we have been promised that this will be fixed, we are continuing to push to have it done ASAP.

And nephew, one of your brother phototakeouters was supposed to dialog with two persons from that group and give us some feed back - but you know the man, and you would not want him to come to take you to the airport for a flight!

For clarity, this event is entirely a fun event to bring a display of Motor Racing to the people of Arima and environs.

The Circuit Cars and Karting competitors are the only ones who will participate in a “race” with more than two competitors.

The Solodex and Rally competitors will participate in “time attack” style competition with only two vehicles at a time, and set off some distance apart.

Moto Cross riders will determine how they will run.

The Drag cars, again we are not looking for any fast cars, those slower than 12 seconds. The distance is less than 1/8 of a mile. They will run on the Boulevard, South of the Larry Gomes Stadium, one car on either side of the median. We would like those taking part to pair themselves with others of similar speed/bracket. We will not be running any cars to determine a class or bracket.

Again pure fun, a display event for the people of the area. And giving some a chance to “blow out the carbon”.

Because of the limitations of the area we have to use, there will be no “real competition”, no trophies; but we know how any motor racer can be very “competitive” even when running by themselves.

Safety scrutineering will be done to all competing vehicles by their respective management, Drag Racing scrutineering done by AutoSport personnel. Very simple, very fundamental.

And for this we are charging the grand fee of $100.00 and you get four passes with this.

again...mr.autosport...I ask :
IS THIS EVENT SANCTIONED BY TTASA THE T&T MOTOR SPORT NSO

12 days is not enough to get my car put back together,
but I am hoping to get a similar mazda borrowed.

My one and only reply to those seeking clarification whether this event is sanctioned by anyone..

Note when this question was asked at the MSYA last Tuesday, the MSYA refused to be dragged into this discussion.

A meeting was held yesterday with the appropriate authority and this situation was discussed and a position agreed upon.

We move on.

unkle....i know of what you speak. however, DWO is family to me (literally), so let me know what you need. I will pass on the info and get them involved.

^^ i know this a fatboy question....but by chance i was wondering if Sham curry duck is going to be there?

[tr1ad]

get him at dex first nah den worry about AGP

[cornfused]

The meeting last night went well i believe and its good to meet Mr. Auto sport again after such a long time.

I hope the promises of the smoothing of the roads is fulfilled there are some undulations on the roads to the west of the the LG stadium.

The drag racing distance is a little less than 1/8 of a mile or approximately 656 meters , the total track seems to be twice that length with equal acceleration and stopping distances.

For solid barriers on the corners or areas likely to run off the paper rolls from the neighboring paper factory would be used.
Action gets under was thus far at 11am and public parking may be at the north of the stadium and further in that area.

I would advise some factory compounds to be used or whatever areas that can be solicited for paid parking away from the general racing areas.

Today Thursday, the Ministry of Works sent their officers to look at what we are asking for and we hope this will be done in the coming days.

Good idea with the "factory parking", we will surely look into it.

Love the constructive comments, and even constructive criticism, we can all move forward together in this manner. Some suggestions were also made by others in relocating some things we had indicated and this will also be looked at.

no no u missed the part where sheldon's record breaking runs weren't TTASA sanctioned therefore they are not 'official'

[AutoSport]

Cars entered to participate in the Drag racing category at this Event will be checked out at the venue, today Sunday from 2:00pm. And they will also have an opportunity to see how they will be set up on the Event date, so they will have a better idea of what is expected.

The various parts of this whole big extravangaza are nicely falling into place.
