East Coast S197 Shootout (Street Series)
February 7, 2009


Five Guys Racing is pleased to announce the First Annual East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina, on Sunday, November 1, 2009. Gates open at 8 AM, time trials start at 9 AM, and eliminations begin at 12 PM. “The Rock” provides a centrally located, easily accessed facility on the Eastern seaboard complete with concessons, sponsor space, and nearby hotels.
The event was originally intended to focus on the 4.0L and 4.6L naturally aspirated S197's with six index, side-by-side race classes. However, due to popular demand the forced induction crowd is invited to participate in six additional classes for added excitement. The facility will manage a Sportsman ladder, and racers will face a .5 Pro Tree and half second indexes. 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. Other awards are also being developed for items such as "best 60 foot", "longest road trip to the event", etc.
The following classes have been developed:
Grudge Matches and "Test & Tune"!

Concerned about getting eliminated early on? Don't be. Instead, please join some of the well known racecar drivers and our other special guests in the non-award category. Call out a buddy (or a nemesis) for some straight-up heads up racing action.
No one to call out for a grudge match? This is not your typical Test & Tune. Open to all Ford vehicles with a Ford power plant, just keep making "time trial" passes as if you are at a private rental. See if you can be the first driver to make 20 passes down the 1320. With this being a limited engagement, everyone will have plenty of opportunity to race all day
