As discussed last year in our feedback thread, this year we will be running a Chicago Shootout this will give every racer at least 3 runs after lunch and it gives those that travel so far a chance to have more than 1 run instead of being knocked out 1st round. You will all still run in brackets. Here are the rules that are generally used. HPR will be taking control of running the shootout. If you have any questions I can pass them on to HPR or you can ask them at the drivers briefing on the day prior to racing. Racing All Brackets will run Chicago Shootout – all competitors race 3 rounds and the best performing 2 make it into the final At the completion of bracket rounds, a count back will be made to establish the finalists. The criteria will be as follows - Two racers with three round wins a piece – automatic entry into the final regardless of red lights or breakouts in the last round. More than two racers with three wins a piece – any racer with a red light or breakout in the last round, regardless of whether you are on a bye run or not, will be excluded from this count back immediately. The count back is then based on elapsed time versus dial-in in the last round of racing. Reaction times play no part in the count back. The two racers who are closest to their respective dial-ins are then eligible for the final. If by chance the count back is a dead heat, it will then be based on the second last round of racing and so on until a winner is established. (Special Note: in the extreme case of only one racer being eligible, eg. All others red lit their final round but won the race, then the red light would be null and void to establish the second finalist based on closest to dial-in) One racer with three wins and one racer with two wins - automatic entry into the final regardless of red lights or breakouts in the last round. No racers with three wins and only two racers with two wins - automatic entry into the final regardless of red lights or breakouts in the last round. No racers with three wins and more than two racers with two wins – count back will be made as above Any dispute or questions regarding rule interpretations, please take them up with the HPR management. The HPR management decision is final.

I am looking for quicker times at the track. What is the best way to make a 6 speed auto XR6 Turbo launch. Do you use the park brake? I've seen this done on a few Youtube videos. I simply slip it into Sports mode push for 1st and hold the brake, hit the loud pedal, let the car just start spinning the wheels and release the brake on the last yellow. Am I doing it right or is there a more effective method? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mick

Took my car to the Kwinanna Motorplex last night Fg Xr6T managed a best time of 10.98 127 mph on 98 pump fuel with a 1.62 60ft, the car is running a gtx 3582 turbo standard piping no battery relocation running a growler Cai Nizpro cooler Xforce 4 inch dump 3.5inch single exhaust ID 1000 injectors and running 17psi boost and XFT custom tune. A big thankyou to Simon from Xtreme Ford Tuning. Now waiting to put billet shaft in zf and run run my E85 tune which made 464 rwkws on 18 psi boost hopefully run a mid 10
