TX2K14 Roll Race Nationals

This is part of the TX2K14 event...Friday 3/14/14 will still be dyno day (like always) and Saturday 3/15/14 & Sunday 3/16/14 will be drag racing (like always). Below is information on a new event that we added at the request of our sponsors.


TO: All interested in participating or attending the TX2K™ Roll Race Nationals


FROM: Peter Blach, Founder TX2K™ and Promoter


ANNOUNCING TX2K™ ROLL RACE NATIONALS AT TEXAS WORLD SPEEDWAY


I’m incredibly excited to bring this type of event to our TX2K™ family! This year we are suspending the Road Racing event and in its place will be the first ever TX2K™ Roll Race Nationals!


DATES: We are going to start a day early, gates open at TWS on Wednesday, March 12th at 7:00 am and the event will be all day the 12th, finishing around 2:00 pm on Thursday March 13th. Wednesday will have us focusing on acclimation runs, grudge matches and starting to qualify for three classes. I’m working on a hotel deal in the Bryan/College Station area for Tuesday and Wednesday night and I’ll share information as soon as I have it. Specific start times and schedules will be forthcoming.


NUMBER OF CARS: Number of cars will be limited to approximately 120; sponsors of TX2K14 had the opportunity to grab a spot prior to them becoming available to the public and they have taken approximately 40 of the 120. Therefore I have about 80 spots left.


COST: Price is $260 per car. This is non-refundable, however you can transfer an entry if your car cannot make it (subject to my approval – Peter Blach). Keep in mind that non-refundable means that if the weather ends up cancelling the event, there are no refunds. I cannot control the weather but I will have to pay for venue and insurance long before the event.


CAR QUALIFICATIONS: The first round of entrants will all need to be ABOVE 800WHP. I reserve the ability to add in lower HP cars later.


HOW DO YOU LOCK IN A SPOT: You must email the following information to tx2kenterprises@yahoo.com : Full Name, Car Year, Car Make/Model, Car whp, also include where you read the instructions to sign up (what forum? Facebook?). I am limiting the number of entries that will be allowed to approximately 120 so as to have an event that isn’t too full and one that allows for as many side by side races as possible. If you do not include all of the information requested above I will simply delete your email.


CAR RULES: Specific details will follow, BUT in the spirit of the type of event TX2K has been for the past 15 years, we are looking for STREET CARS. That means no tubbed drag cars, no lexan only race cars, no fiber glass body race cars, etc… Also, skinnies will NOT be allowed, cars will need to run a DOT approved tire.


GATE FEE: $20 per person per day (this includes racers, spectators, sponsors, etc) to get into the facility. No exceptions to this rule.


STRUCTURE: Cars will qualify into one of three classes. The top 16 cars will be in the Unlimited bracket, the next 16 will be in the Super Sport bracket and the next 16 will be in the Sport bracket. Grudge matches (callouts) will be allowed as well and a more formal structure around call outs is forthcoming. We will have a VHT tractor and a crew responsible for “prepping” the first 500-600 ft. of the run area.


AWARDS: I am expecting to run the semi-finals and finals for all three classes after lunch on Thursday and then we will have the award presentation with the top two in all three classes receiving awards.


HOW THE RACING WORKS: The cars will be paired up in the hot pits and proceed to the end of the hot pit road at the base of Nascar Turn 1 (N1). The cars will leave pit road and pace each other for almost half a mile as they climb the banking. By the middle of Nascar Turn 2 (N2), the cars will be side by side and approaching the long back straight between N2 and Nascar Turn 3 (N3). As they exit N2, they pass over a starting line and accelerate for approximately 1500 feet towards N3. The track is 80’ wide and there will be lane markers. Cars will then pass over a finish line and have 800+ feet to slow down before reaching the banking. The middle of the banking between N3 and Nascar Turn 4 (N4) is not particularly smooth, but the high line and the low line are in good shape. Each car will have plenty of time to slow down and then safely enter the pits at the exit of N4 where an official will hand out slips with MPH numbers to the drivers. Should the vehicle’s brakes fail, simply continue on the banking down the front straight (b/w N4 and N1).

STARTS: Both cars will attempt to cross the starting line at the same moment and at the same speed (60 mph). We will have an official starter and if these two criteria are not met within close tolerance (1/2 car length) then the run will be DQ’d.


SCORING: When the two cars approach the finish line they will activate a timing system that will calculate their MPH at the end of the run. First car crossing the finish line wins. We will have displays, we will be logging all the times, and we are working to have an AM broadcast system so everyone can follow the action. We will keep boards updated in the paddock/pits area as well.





This picture shows the view of the racing area from atop N3, looking back to N2, so the cars will be racing towards the camera.


SPECTATORS: We will have some viewing areas setup that will allow for good places to watch the middle and finish of the race. Additionally, this will be an open paddock event so the spectators can see the cars and talk to the drivers. The hot pits will likely be restricted to drivers and crews.


VIDEO: We did a test run with a 1,250rwhp UGR TT LP570 recently and there is a great video put together by our friends and sponsors of TX2K – a 1320Video.com and it is here:







The UGR TT has plenty of room as it heads through N2 towards 1500’ of wide open throttle.


QUESTIONS: Please send me any questions you may have, I’m happy to share what I know.
