It's time for the SCMC's Spring 2002 Cobra vs FBody shootout. The SCMC Cobra club http://www.svtcobraclub.com and the Georgia FBody Association http://www.gafba.com/index.asp will be going at it for a full day on a privately rented track in Jackson SC just outside of Augusta Ga. In addition, as in past years, we will be partnering with MGW and George Ciamillo http://www.mgwltd.com/ to put this event on. We had an outstanding time last time out and the pictures and videos are up on the SCMC website here:

This event will take place on Saturday March 16th, 2002 at Jackson Dragway http://www.carolinadragway.com/ We are going to have the track privately rented for the entire day. We will be starting at 11AM with just open side by side runs. This means you just line up at the tree, launch yourself and have fun. This will allow first timers and beginners to get a feel for 1/4 mile racing, work on their launch techniques etc... In the afternoon we will begin the official bracket racing competition. For those of you not familiar with bracket racing, this is a great way to compete evenly with cars that are either faster or slower than you are. You dial in your expected ET, then you must beat your opponent but not beat your estimated time. You also get to launch earlier if your dialed in time is slower than your opponents. If you dialed in 15 seconds and your opponent dialed in 13 seconds, you get to take off 2 seconds before your opponent. In this style of racing, consistency is the key and a V6 could conceivably kick butt on a supercharged Cobra. This means everyone can compete, and everyone has a chance to take home a trophy. This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Trophy Awards are as follows:
Best E.T. 14.0 and up
Best E.T. 13.5 to 13.99
