2005 SC Shootout Location and Date !!

[XR7 Dave]

The SC Shootout Comittee is proud to announce that the 2005 SC Shootout will be held in Norman, Oklahoma the weekend of October 7-9 with racing at ThunderValley Raceway. Big thanks go out to the shootout committee for working hard to put this together so far. Scott Osborne of Norman, OK has spearheaded the organization of what promises to be the best Shootout yet. Start making plans now, we will be announcing more details as they become available. We look forward to seeing each of you there!

David

SC Shootout Coordinator

[Rich95XR7]

I will definately be there, unless we get sent back to Iraq or something.

[VicRattlehead]

im going to put it on the calender but i dont know if ill be able to do it, i might be changing jobs soon, i dislike the place im at now, so i dont know about time off and whatnot but its not for another 9 months so who knows.

If im there it will be great if not please send pics!!

[BobGPz]

Oklahoma? This might be a possibilty for me.. :)
If my SC can hold together long enough to make it there :rolleyes:
I have some relatives that live in OK City so that will help...
Definately putting this on my calender...

[SilverCasket]

That's is definitely a great location for the shootout. It really gives both coasts about the same distance. .... A little far for me, so I may bow the SC out. Hopefully I can fly in for the fun though. We'll see. .

But definitely a great job by the committee, that looks almost smack dab in the middle!

Anthony

[Grasshopper]

I'll be there.

[David Neibert]

I'll be there.

Anthony,

Get a trailer...I really want to see that car run 11s.

David

[OzzManG149]

Cool this is going to be a good time I can already tell.

[moore89]

I'll show up if the car's done by then

[XR7 Dave]

Cool this is going to be a good time I can already tell.

:D :D :D :D :D

My goal is to have a fleet of AR's show up and whoopass on y'all! :D J/K

[Rich95XR7]

I'll be racing bracket class, bring all the ARs you want. You may be faster, but I guarantee I'm more consistant :p I'm also know to cut some .00 lights, just ask Scott, I've strapped a few people at the tree before. :D

[Jake]

Maybe I can help you out on that Dave, now I need to get those heads and cam from you by april and I should be ready. I'll be at this one since it will probably be the closest one for a while.

[specops_SC]

:D :D :D :D :D

id like to be part of that fleet, but id need some donations from you there.. ;) haha. j/k.

rich95xr7,
you and me both. i also have to worry about getting deployed in that time. i really hope not. its almost out of my range, but after the fun i had at last years, im definitely going to try to be there. now the question is, which car to bring? i like being able to ask that.. haha :D

The New Mexico crew is here if you want to make a pitstop in Albuquerque, Bob. We are more than willing to help you find a place to stay. If any of you west coast guys are planning on going, we can try and help you out as well. Give me a holler. :D

[focus]

I'll be making plans to be there as well...

Thanks to the committee for making a superb choice of location...

[SCme94]

Sounds good to me. I will be there.

I know it's a bit early to plan anything, but anybody along these states going that want to drive down with other SC'ers? I'd hate to drive down and worry about breaking down by myself. I figure if you're going to break down, what better than having a bunch of other SC'ers to help get back on the road. Here's my idea...

Canada and Seattle guys can convoy down to me (Close to Portland).
Then we all convoy to California and crash for a few hours somewhere (I figure that's about 10-15 hours driving), and meet up with all the CA members somewhere. We then all convoy over to Arizona and meet up with the AZ & NM members. Then we all convoy over and grab all the TX members, cruise over 1 more state and we are there.
Maybe some other fellow members offer some sofa's or floors to crash on along the way like Darkside has? MannySC/TBird88??

If nobody wants to do this, I’ll at least fly down… gots to make this shooutout..

I know that caravaning is a blast! We caravaned to and from Nat's 2001 with about 8 SC'ers and one of us even lost a crank sensor on the way in the middle of nowhere. 1hr later we were back on track and moving. Something I'll remember for the rest of my life. :D

This event is going to kick some serious butt!

Once you get to Albuquerque it's about 7-8 hours til OKC straight down I-40.

Anthony,
It's only about 1400+ miles and 22 hour drive. I am planning on driving down. Hey we can stop off at Lazzo's and then Kurt K's to party on the way down. :cool: If you don't go...just give me your car and I will get the 11 sec time slip. :D
Later

[NY90RedSC]

I doubt I'll be able to make this year's event. Hopefully next year I can afford to make the trip. I'm not sure I'd really want to push my SC on the strip to be honest. If something happened to the car and I had the unforseen expense of having to repair it, that would definitely hurt the bank account. Is it ok for SC owners to attend even if they don't race their car?

[specops_SC]

Moses, I know you asked about the rules vrs some of the mods you had planned. I hope you have read the new rules. I think you will like them. :)
dave,
yea, these rules i really like. however, some of the things i had planned for my auto are going on my 5spd (95 blower w/ported inlet plenum :D) but i should still be good to go.

Chris and I will see you there Moses. We owe you IHOP!
jeremy,
ihop it is! :D im definitely going to try to be out there.


chris,
dunno if you ever fixed your tranny but if you havent, git 'er done! haha. looking forward to seeing you there and racing you and jeremy of course.

Cool this is going to be a good time I can already tell.
scott,
thanks for helping to get this set up. im really looking forward to meeting you out there. man i hope i dont get sent anywhere. :(

[adpsmp]

Well, I put in for leave for it...so hopefully I'll be there.

Cool Kurt. As it gets closer I will talk to you about it. Your place is about 800 mile drive.

Portland, Maine did you say? (maybe not) If so I'd joint up in Connecticut.

This will give some of the other guys a chance to meet up with some of the people who go to these things all the time. Who knows, maybe some of those "fast" calf. cars will show up to take the high honors..........LOL......either way it should be another fun time for all that can make it...............Rich

[Burbank95sc]

I'm gonna have to start planning my vacation this year. I had so much fun last year in Ohio.

[Mike8675309]

Anyone got a lat./long. for this place?

Guestimating 35.09 North, 97.37 West

800.8 miles, 12 hours and 43minutes on the road.

I'm so there!!!! Ouch, lots of toll roads. Hmm, through Wichita... cars original owner is there, maybe I'll have time to stop by.

Darn it, you editted you post while I was searching for THIS (http://www.lat-long.com/), which would have helped.

[OzzManG149]

Ive got a great place to have the Dyno Compitition. Ive talked to the owner of a performance shop in OKC and he is going to host us on Saturday October 8th for the Dyno Compitition. He has room in his parking lot for about 200 cars. So I thought it would be kinda cool while were having the Dyno Comp that we could have a Barbque in his parking lot so everyone could check out each other's cars and shoot the ****. Let me know what you guys think.

[Mike8675309]

yeah, I fired up MS Mappoint and it has a lat/long search thing. The directions on their website were pretty good so I could guess.

With all the GPS stuff out there these days it would be cool if people started including lat/long with their street address. Or maybe that's a little geeky.

Oh, and anyone going south through Kansas... When I was dragging the car down and back they hit me with extra per axle fees for the double axle trailer on them toll roads. And it wasn't pocket change. So bring plenty of cash for the tolls.

[Thomas A]

I will be there for sure!!! Not sure if it will be in an MN12 or an FN10 though. :cool:

Damnit Thomas, don't MAKE me have to break out a can of whupass on you!
hahhahah, LOL!! Seriously though, I will most likely be contacting you about some work when you come to visit Nebraska in April. :D

Thomas

PS. Can we have a car show with awards? I MUST WIN for cleanest interior :D

[BobGPz]

Portland, Maine did you say? (maybe not) If so I'd joint up in Connecticut.
I am in Vancouver Washington, Close to Portland Oregon. Put it this way, I can be at Portland International Raceway in 5 minutes from my house.
That's about as far off from Maine as you can get.. :D :p

Looks like it will be 2 days of driving one way for me. Anybody have a car transport (Semi Truck) business? :p :D

[coolhand]

Expect to see some Ontario guys there.............

[John Shelton]

Now those of us in California don't have any more excuses. :)

[Mike8675309]

I'm wondering how much it would cost to get it a car on a train headed close to there?

[quick35th]

:D :D :D :D :D

Oh you bring your ARs Dave and I'll bring the supercharged 5.0 35th! No really I dont know if the motor will be done in time but I hope to have most the car done in time.

Sounds like a cool location for the 2005 SC/XR7 shootout. Kind of a long drive but if anyone would like to caravan with me or if I could tag along with someone I would be up for it. Hope I can get the car done in time.

Shane

[BobGPz]

I'm wondering how much it would cost to get it a car on a train headed close to there?
Mike, I just got a online quote from a semi-truck company that will ship from terminal to terminal for $875.00. Term-term is where I drop off my SC in Troutdale Oregon and pick her up in OK City. OK City is like 24 miles away from Norman. Problem is that the car shows up when it gets there. They estimate 3 weeks for delivery. :rolleyes:

So maybe a freight train would be a better deal, both $$$ wise and time wise, for all you guys that don't want to drive for 3-4 days.

[Jeremy_K]

Guys, just a warning about shipping companies. Don't use Economy Transport. I bought my SUV on ebay and had it shipped from NC to NM for $875. Very shady company. They dented the hood and the roof, did not have a bill of lading (mysteriously vanished), all of the vehicle paperwork vanished, and got downright rude with me when i filed a damage claim. This company is big trouble. They are based in TN. All of the others i got quotes from wanted $1200 or more. i shoulda known, ya get what you pay for! :mad:
Do your homework on these companies BBB complaints etc. I'd hate to see a nice SC get thrashed. :(

[Mike8675309]

Trains don't look to bad. I found a company called AutoLog (http://www.autolog.net/) but didn't try to get a quote. The numbers are not too bad in their examples, but with having then to fly down there it would be a logistics nightmare for me. And If I do things right this spring the car should enjoy the drive.

The company mentioned above has a terminal in Tulsa, which isn't too bad of a drive down there. So if you could drop it at a train terminal, then pick it up at a train terminal, you avoid some of the fear of them moving it on to a tractor/trailer, and you save as well. With their list of New york to LA of $695, I would think as long as you're east of the Rockies into Oklahoma it wouldn't be too bad.

[BobGPz]

....Do your homework on these companies BBB complaints etc. I'd hate to see a nice SC get thrashed. :(
Thanks Jeremy, but I've been thinking that there is no way I could let my SC out of my sight for 3 days, let alone 3 weeks.

edit...I think I am just going to drive her down. Maybe I'll get a prize for the longest SC driven down to the meet. A $100 Texaco gas gift card sounds good.. :D Worried about going through Denver in October though. I hear the roads can get pretty bad even that time of year..

Where did you see that?? I just jumped to that link and from NYC to Oklahoma City they wanted $850.

Ira

[Mike8675309]

Their front page. New York to LA, $695. But keep in mind, prices will be lower for more traveled routes as they are more likely to find people looking for loads to haul on common routes.

[Doug Franklin]

I'll be there! Great location BTW.

Well alright Calvin!!! Hope you bring your LA folks and the Houston Gang with you!!! Look if you and the rest and their families down there need a sleep over to or from then your welcome here. And I mean it. I am probably 3 hrs from Noble. Give Y'all a chance to take a lap or 2 at MSR on the way if you want. Looks like I will have house all to myself very soon. Sorry I missed the Mardi this year. Events overtook me. :eek:

That would be GREAT. Yes, I will probably bring my better half with me. Yes, I would live to caravan from your location since it's only 3 hours to Noble. Don't know about the Houston guys, maybe they will chime in on this and we will see what happens. Thanks again!

This sounds really good... Birds flying north for winter, I know, sounds corny... but a long string of Birds headed together nearly two hundred miles would be a nice site... not to mention rolling into the track in Noble together... :cool:

[thekidz]

2038 Kilometres geesh.
Wonder if this will get the distance award? I need to defend my title. Luckiest SC LoL. Any others from Canuckistan up for terrorizing the Americans. Yes mister customs guard I'm going to Oklahoma to blow up my car. :eek: LOL Andrew to the rescue. Besides you need the Golden Nectar Canadian beer. :)

Hoping I can convince the minister of finance :D

Looking forward to it

It's roughly the same from New Orleans to OKC! Yeah, quit your whining!!!! :D

[Pablo94SC]

And here I'm moving to NYC. :rolleyes:

Looks like I might need to leave the bird in Memphis, fly down early, drive to Norman, shootout, drive to Memphis, and then fly back to NY.

[CMac89]

Road trip! road trip!! roooaaad triiip!!! w00t! w0000t!! I want to see what that AR can do. On saturday night we go downtown where there are a couple hundred mustangs from the Mustang Club. There is me and davidz (the only SC's downtown in the history of Indy) we started our own club called "Whips da Mustang Club." It consists of us two and 3 f-bodies basically. Mustang guys get mad because they have spray to beat the old T-birds. If i had an AR, then that spray would only leave them behind by a car instead of infront by two. Anybody interested in joining our club? We are going to make decals. :D

Why couldnt you have done OK last year and Norwalk this year? Dams it!!!

If i drive 130mph the whole time i can get there in 5.769230769230769230 hrs. :D.

By the way, has anyone ever experienced a breakdown on your SC while driving it long distance to a shoot out.

[David Neibert]

By the way, has anyone ever experienced a breakdown on your SC while driving it long distance to a shoot out.

I'm not sure about breaking down going to the Shootout, but I know about several that broke down during or on the way home from it and other meets.

David

[CMac89]

Well i can see that. Drive 700 miles or more, come to the starting like and wheel hop the ***** out of it 10 times, and drive home another 700+ miles. Then after that, its all time for a rebuild!! :D

I bought a trailer last year. It's a big relief not worrying about how I'm going to get the car home. Now I can trailer to where ever....pull it off the trailer and drive the crap out it for a few days then put it back on the trailer when I'm ready to go home.

I do miss the fun of high speed caravans with a pack of SCs, but don't miss the worrying.

Every year the cars at the Shootout get quicker and faster, so there should be no shortage of competition for your supercharged v8.

Sure...so long as it's an MN12.

[SilverBullitt]

I am looking forward to coming...I hoping to run 13's but we will see...maybe low 13's...but I want to be there for the fun of it...hopefully get a nice caravan of T-birds to the meet.

[SC Ward]

I think the ol' 94 can make it that far ;)

Welcome back to Norman, y'all!

[sonicman1634]

I just bought my gf a "99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. So I guess I can get one of those tow trailers from U-haul and tow it up there. Dont wanna put too many miles on her. Hopefully i'll have my wicked engine ready to go...

[96sport]

I am thinking about coming to the SC shootout....not quite an SC but hey its still an MN-12. The TCCoA group can't figure out where the hell they want to have the Nationals. I want to go somewhere where I know there is going to be more than a couple MN12s. Only 850 miles and 13 hours..... Now I gotta see what I can get done before time to go to the shootout.

Russell

[96sport]

I'm just curious but how many showed up last year to the shootout? What about Carlisle? I heard there were quite a few SCs that showed up there too. I am trying to figure out what events I am going to go to. I am thinking of going to WFC8....even though there were only like 16 birds there...

I am thinking about coming to the SC shootout....not quite an SC but hey its still an MN-12. The TCCoA group can't figure out where the hell they want to have the Nationals. I want to go somewhere where I know there is going to be more than a couple MN12s. Only 850 miles and 13 hours..... Now I gotta see what I can get done before time to go to the shootout.

You can come to the "Bash" if you want just click on to the bottom of my sig... Bring the whole group and we can party to the cows come home......Rich

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I will be able to do anything around that time. I am going to Australia in late May/early June and then I have to get into the workforce, since I am graduating in May with my BS. I figure labor day weekend or early October are going to be about right....get settled into a job and then ask for time off. :D I doubt I will be able to get any TCCoA people to come with me no matter where I go....many of them are just not all that hardcore. :(

Do you have a lot of people interested in that Rich? I hope it goes well for you guys. Wish I could make it to that. I'll be at the OK Shootout though. Are you going to go to that? I'd like to see your 460 Bird. :D

So far there is a lot of look see's going on. There are somewhere around 20 people who say they will be coming for this event.....

As far as being in the wrong place, I don't think so. He asked if there was a place for the other cars that are not S.C.'s so I gave him a option.... Nothing wrong in sharing info on events, or is there???.........Rich

[Mike8675309]

For sure I'll be at the Bash and the SC Shootout. The vacation slips are already turned in and approved!!! I'm sure a few t-birds from MN will be hitting the bash with me, maybe even a Mark VII.

Carlisle won't make it though.

Russell,

I think we had over 30 cars racing at the 2004 Shootout. Probably another 10 that attended. The one I'm bringing this year won't quite be an SC either, but they will have a class for all MN12s so plan to be there.

I don't know what you mean about the people at WFC...the SC people are always freindly. Some of the TCCoA guys seem to be a little clickish, but don't let that spoil your fun. Just bring a cooler full of Bud Light and you'll be a real popular guy with the SC people :D .

David

There's nothing new to know. All you need to do is get your POS 2nd place car to St Louis on the day before the shootout, so we can all drive down to OK together.

I am gunin for these guys that win two trophies at a shootout:)

I resemble that remark :p Although I'd be happy to trade my two 2nd place trophies for one 1st place trophy at this year's event.

[fast Ed]

I'm still thinking about coming down, with the St. Louis stopover at Chez Kreisz as well. :D

Hopefully I've got a sale for my M/T E T Street bias ply tires that I couldn't use in eliminations last year, so I can grab a set of DOT radials of some sort. I'd still be playing in Street Stock, I don't have enough for the big boys. :p

Hey Thomas. Most likely I would run I-70 out to Salina, then straight down to OK City.

I know Jeramie is hoping to go and Todd also.

Can we get ANY information on the HOTEL being used for the shootout?

[XR7 Dave]

Sorry about that guys. Info is forthcoming. Everything is set, I just need to get details so you can start making reservations.

[walunsf]

Looks like i'll be able to go to my first SC meet if drill stays on 1-2 October. can't wait!

[92bird]

Gotta see how flexable the new job is gonna be.. But I really want to go! I haven't been to an out of state SC meet since 2001..

The car should be in good shape for the trip by then too :D

We could potentially have a large Colorado crowd.. I like the idea of heading east, meeting up with Thomas and such, then heading down.

Jeramie

[Thomas A]

Yeah, you gotta make it down for sure! Doug is planning to go, and my brother is also. Then there is a pretty good possibility of 2-3 more Nebraska guys. Soo, we could have as many as 6 NE guys and 3-4 CO guys meeting up in Salina. That would be very cool!

Thomas

[92bird]

Hell, why don't the St Louis guys meet up with us too?

Or will they chose a more direct route?

I just think having 20 or more SC's on a convoy would be absolutely fun!

**Edit** Its about 450 miles from Denver.. Not too shabby..

Also, if people get into gear, I think we could have 6 or maybe even 7 colorado guys.

[Thomas A]

I'm guessing the St Louis guys will cut down accross MO and come through Tulsa, but I don't know for sure. I'm trying to get the Iowa guys like Mike, Dale, and Juilian to come across I-80 and join up with us, but I'm guessing they end up going down through KC.

We St Louis guys will be heading straight down I-44 and draggin along at least 1 PA guy, a couple of Illinois guys, and hopefully several Canadian guys (you know who you are).

[fast Ed]

Well, I've taken step one ... my M/T E.T. Streets are sold, and are being replaced with a pair of M/T Radials to keep me legal for the Street Stock class, if I do decide to make the haul down.

Do you have to be a member of SCCOA to attend the meet, i have a buddy that was talking about wanting to go down there with me, i am not a member yet but as soon as i get around to it i will be :D and also, it dosent look like i am going to be able to drive my cougar down there due to the motor need a rebuild and im kinda straped for cash right now, so i was going to just drive my truck down there, anyone got a problem with that????

Thanks

Nope, I would think that anyone that wants to attend can. You have at least registered. So come on down.. lol. I belive the only stipulation is if your gonna race it has to be a cougar or a thunderbird.

Naaaaa, you don't have to be a paying SCCoA member to attend.. But if you decided that you wanted to be a member, its only $15 anyway :D

Who are the sponsors?
Will there be any exhibition vehicles?

In years past, I believe (correct me if I am wrong) there was 1 or more non MN12 vecicles permitted to race, though they were not part of the event (Andy's Lightning comes to mind). If, for example, one of the 10 second V6 mustang guys wanted to attend and run as an exhibition vehicle, would they be denied the opportunity to pay a fee and make a few passes?

Thomas

[XR7 Dave]

The committee has determined that non-mn12 Ford vehicles will be allowed to run at the track. Whether or not they are allowed to participate in bracket racing is something under consideration. I depends partly on just how many people are interested in doing so.

Track fees are yet to be determined but will be reasonable.

Brand new SC owner here in St Louis - dont even have the SC registerd yet. Very interested in hooking up with the club and making the trip to Norman. Can anybody (Kirk K????) let me know the plans for the guys in St Louis? Purchased a 95 5 Speed, pearl white, from the VP of the Connecticut chapter of the club. It's pretty darn clean but I will feel more comfortable if I can get it to run a little cooler before a trip like that.

I really don't know at this time. I won't be leaving till Mandi gets off work (which means I may leave later than John and Mike) and I don't want to deal with more LA traffic than I have to. Personally, I would like to leave LA around 9pm like we did for Carlisle which theoretically puts me in your neck of the woods around 8am.
