Texas HIGH SPEED SHOOT OUT

[nasatx]

1. National Coverage by HOT ROD Magazine.

2. ADDITIONAL RACE TYPE/STRUCTURE by POPULAR DEMAND:

We are providing the vehicle drivers with two (2) different race types from which to choose.
1. Fastest Acceleration Race and
2. MPH Accuracy Race

Motorcycle riders have predominately requested just the MPH Accuracy Race Type. This will remain the only race type for motorcycle riders.

Explanation and Structure of each race type:
1. Fastest Acceleration Race – Drivers are ranked based on the time it takes to reach the Tech / Top Speed for the chosen class. This race type begins with a standing start at point A (the beginning of the mile); there is no roll out. Drivers will run their vehicles up to the Tech / Top Speed for the chosen class and then continue through the rest of the mile at a speed of their choosing (not to exceed 7 mph over the Tech / Top Speed). Drivers will be allowed to exceed their Tech / Top Speed by 7 mph without disqualification. Winners will be determined by the fastest to reach the Tech / Top Speed.

2. MPH Accuracy Race – Drivers are ranked based on being the closest to the Tech / Top Speed for a particular class when crossing through the speed trap which is the last 132 feet of the mile. This race type begins with a 120-foot roll out, leading up to point A, which starts the mile and traveling to point B (the end of the mile).

Drivers will select only one race type. These choices can be found on the registration form as well as the different classes.

3. FORMS
All of the forms are now posted on the website http://www.nasatx.com/highspeed.asp
(updated registration, medical, technical & experience).

Upon receipt of the registration form and payment, NASA TX will notify the driver/rider via email or phone to let them know that the registration has been received and they are guaranteed a spot in the event as well as assign a number for the car or motorcycle.

4. ENTRY DEADLINE / SPACE IS LIMITED –

Will the bikes have to have any special safety equipment?
Will leather shoes be allowed, or do the riders have to have boots?

I had a couple of questions that were vague on the TECH of this race, so I wrote and asked.
Here is the email that I sent and the response.

To Whom it may Concern.
Hello,
I would like to race in the October 25th and 26th race, in the Unlimited Motorcycle MPH Accuracy Race.

I have a few questions.
I am riding a 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R that is in perfect operating condition.
My questions are:

(1) Will the stock kill switch that is mounted next to my thumb be acceptable?
The bike is also equipped(stock) with a "tip over" kill switch.
The tech form states "Operating kill switch or button accessible to the rider".

(2)Will the stock clamp be sufficient on the front axel?
The front axel is 2 piece(threaded), PLUS it has 2 pinch bolts on each fork tube.
The rear axel has holes in which a steel "R" style pin is inserted thru the same as a safety wire would be.

All other safety items and equipment is in order.
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am trying not to drive a great distance and NOT pass tech.

I am sure that I cannot make it in time on Saturday to make the race.
(3)Do I have to be present on Saturday, to participate in the race on Sunday?

Thanks in advance!

Here is their response.

I really wish I could go but I am now stuck up in Ohio and can't get off work. Wish I knew about this when I lived in Houston!
