V-10 Nationals Topeka Schedule of Events

[Dr Roof]

First let me apologize for the delay in getting things Finalized. It has been difficult to raise the funds Necessary to Run at a track of this caliber. (entry's have been slower than normal as well) We are still waiting on some additional Sponsorships to come through.

The event was originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. However Many people requested Night Racing due to the summer heat so we arrange an ALl day Event on Saturday with the finals at night. After this was finalized we had people concerned about coming all the way to Kansas with no Track time so we covered this base by adding a Friday Night session for Test N Tune. So we apologize for the confusion it has caused. I was simply trying to make it work out for the best of everyone involved.

Regardless we are now here and Ready to shake down Topeka, Kansas! IF you are on the fence about coming we really need your support! Make the trip so that it helps us insure the future of the race Next year!!! More cars equal More sponsors which in return Equals a continued avenue in which to race the VIper!

And I will be checking on race fuel at the track, as well as the closest nitrous refill station. Should be a GREAT event, even if I am just reduced to a spectator!

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

Thanks to you both as well as well as all the sponsors on making this possible. See y'all friday!!

 

[Cudaman]

We are so excited about the race I hardly can contain myself.. .. I am ready for the 3000 mile round trip. Vern Hill has left today and I will leave tommarrow morning from Florida.

Race fuel? Did somebody say race fuel? I think you will be pleased:

The race fuel at Heartland Park (by the paddock area, 40 yards from the track itself) is self serve credit card and will be open the entire time we are there. Octane ratings? WOW! 100, 104, 106, and 112! Pick your fuel and bring your credit card.

As to nitrous, I have found one so far: AutoMotion at 19th & Kansas Avenues sells it at $3.80 a pound. They are about 7 miles from the track and close at 5:30 on Friday and are not open on Saturday. BUT WAIT! I spoke with the owner and if we can nail down specific times on Saturday or even later Friday when guys want to refill, he will come in and open up just for us. So start thinking about when you will want to refill and I will set it up. I am also checking with other area NOS guys, including one in KC that may have a portable refill station (fingers crossed). So far, so good!

Thanks !!! keep us posted. Oh, the first beer is on me for all of your trouble.
Thanks again,

Oh yeah, and for those that want to see a little more racing action while you are in Topeka, Heartland Park is also hosting the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR - http://corracing.com/ ) series this weekend at their nearby dirt track. They have very generously offered to get all V10 Nationals attendees discounted passes into the races if anybody wants to check them out:

While the drag strip and dirt track aren't side-by-side (that could be a mess), just make sure that you don't take your Viper to the wrong venue - or that there are LOTS of photographers around when you do!

As David always knows, PartsRack is proud to donate $$$$ and a set of tires, and some in-kind support as well. Be Safe-Be Smart-Have Fun.

Ill be Pacing at PIR.

Flash: VIPERS (JonB and Tony C) have been asked to Pace the Speed-GT World Challenge ALMS race at Portland in 2 weeks...and all the event races as well.
