2009 East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout

Announcement

Five Guys Racing is pleased to announce the First Annual East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout at Rockingham Dragway (:: Rockingham Dragway.com - THE ROCK :: ) in Rockingham, North Carolina, on Sunday, November 1, 2009. “The Rock” provides a centrally located, easily accessed facility on the Eastern seaboard complete with concessons, sponsor space, and nearby hotels.

Originally intended to focus on the 4.6l naturally aspirated S197 with four, heads-up side-by-side race classes, due to popular demand the forced induction crowd is invited to participate in two classes for added excitement. The facility will manage a Sportsman ladder, and racers will face a .5 Pro Tree. The overall emphasis is on street cars you can live with and drive every day, so all cars must be tagged and registered, and cannot be gutted. Winners in each class will receive trophies, and awards are being developed as well (best 60 foot, longest road trip to the event, etc.)

The following classes have been developed:

NA Classes

Pure Street--4.6l and close to stock
Street--4.6l bolt-on crowd
Modified Street--cams, longtubes, tubular suspensions and non-DOT tires
Street Eliminator--ported heads, bored and stroked mod motor blocks and as light as you can get the car

FI Classes

Wild Street--close to stock with turbo, supercharger or nitrous
Street Outlaw--no explanation needed

Event rules and current class descriptions can be found on the website and forum . Check back periodically as further information regarding entry fees, driver’s meeting, lodging and other items will be become available.

That looks very cool! The only things I see that I would make a change to is allow ported heads to your MS (a lot of people add ported heads to take advantage of a cam swap) and make SE an 'anything goes' NA.

lol one of the other things i was thinking.

That issue is currently under review. If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to bring them up.

chad05gt · February 19th, 2009, 07:49 PM

Maybe stock size valves, or make head/cam stock bottom end guys weigh 200lbs more than cam/stock bottom end cars?

Rench · February 19th, 2009, 08:49 PM

A weight break was along the lines of what I was thinking. The issue with valve size is a tough call. I know if I did heads I would go with bigger valves as I'm sure some did. If a weight break is the way to go, any suggestions for how? I thought adding weights in the trunk well would work as long as it's secured. Another thought, me being in the Tractor/Const. Equipment buisness was adding fluid to the existing spare. Kind of out there I know, but would work. Would however render the spare useless for anything else. I was thinking a 200-300 lb break would be reasonable.

Let me know if they allow ported heads in MS.
