Some of us have waited our whole lives for something like this... Shift-S3ctor brings you our first Airstrip Attack event!

Where: Inyokern Airport. 1669 Airport Road., Inyokern, CA. 93527.
When: Saturday, February 25th, 2012. 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What: A 1/2 mile, rolling side by side competition.

Who may participate?
From stock cars to highly modified vehicles, all are welcome. Convertibles are required to have a roll bar. ALL participants are required to bring and wear helmets. Tech Inspection will be heavily enforced. There is no fuel on site but there is a gas station 5 minutes away. You may also bring your own race gas. Keep it off the streets and do it legally in a safe environment! Professional video and photography will be on hand.

This first Airstrip Attack event is expected to bring various types of cars together to do some high speed, side by side racing on a newly paved airstrip. You will be able to start from a roll, 25 mph to 50 mph, and accelerate for 1/2 mile, against your friend or enemy. It will be a War of the Worlds, as we expect a variety of American Muscle, JDM and European machines to show up and do battle. A winner will be announced at the end of the day.

Awards will be given for:
Fast car of the day.
Fast tuner of the day.

Early registration is $225 and we will limit registrations so sign up today!

utahviper is infamous around these parts
This sounds like a good event and venue. I would love to come out and play. I would like to bring a couple of cars. Is it the same price for each car? Which runway is it? How many are you gonna let attend? Are there any high HP cars coming? Thanks

Early registration is $225 per vehicle. The runway is almost a mile in length, giving you 1/2 mile of acceleration and enough braking. We anticipate +/- 75 cars.

There will be a lot of high horsepower cars. We know of several 900+whp GTR's and Porsches that will be attending, as well as some big power domestics as well.

Feel free to post more questions in the thread regarding the event I posted...

Ari, Ryan here from Shft-S3ctor. Here is the caravan info to the hotel we are all staying at the night before if you guys decide to change your minds and come up Friday and crash the night before. I'll be leading the LA caravan

CARAVAN INFO FOR AIRSTRIP ATTACK:
For those staying with us at the Hampton Inn in Ridgecrest the Friday night before the event, we will be caravaning from two spots on Friday February 24th mid-day.
Los Angeles Caravan: Chevron Station. 12881 Encinitas Avenue, Sylmar, CA. (Last exit on the 5 before the 14 – Roxford St.). Meeting at 1:30 PM, leaving at 2:00 PM.
Led by Ryan (Black C6 Z06)
Orange County Caravan: Best Buy Parking lot. 2982 El Camino Real, Tustin, CA 92782. Meeting at 12:30 and leaving by 1:00 PM. Led by Jason (Blue GTR)
The LA and OC caravans will be taking different routes. The LA caravan will be taking the 14 up and the OC caravan will be taking the 15 to the 395. These are the most convenient routes based on where you are coming from
