*Backyard 400* Sponsored by Tunaco Race Fuels!
« on: March 15, 2012, 02:49:11 PM »

Still in talks Found a sponsor for the event and the date has been set for August 29st. NASCAR @ Indy. Probably 779HP and as a heads up don't expect the tire sponsor to be bringing sticky rubber.




--Evnet Details--

When: July 29st, 2012
Start: 2:00 pm Eastern (15 min Q session starts at 2:00 pm, race starts at 2:15 pm)
Where: Indianapolis Super Speedway
Laps: 160
HP: 779
KG: 1565 (min weight)
Tires: Sports Medium
Damage: Heavy
Cautions: 1 car = 1 pace lap @ 75mph.  2 or more cars = 3 pace laps @ 75mph.  (pits are always open)

Tuna Twist - Each driver entering the event will declare their real life pick to win the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. Your driver's finish and your finish spots will be added together to decide our winner. For example I choose Tony Stewart, he finishes 5 and I finish 4, my total score is 9. Brindle picks Dale jr who finishes 1 and Brindle finishes 4 his total would be 5. Lowest score wins.

-Participants-

1 - BakedTuna - Tony Stewart
2 - Fried_Tuna - Juan Montoya
3 - LastLeafFan - Denny Hamlin
4 - Tuna_Tank - Jimmy Johnson
5 - Charlie_Tuna - Danika Patrick
6 - dlrws6 -Carl Edwards
7 - ChrisTuna - Dale Jr
8 - DudeTuna - Kurt Bush
9 - MondoTuna - Kasey Kahne

Still in talks with group of sponsors for the event but the date has been set for July 22. NASCAR @ Indy. Probably 700HP and as a heads up dont expect the tire sponsor to be bringing sticky rubber.

Oh god... please dont let it become like the Brickyard where they had "competition" cautions every fucking 10 laps. I hated that race

Almost forgot about this!  We obviously forgot about the Firecracker 400.  Either way, I will have some details posted by tomorrow.  I was hoping to do this before the actual Brickyard, but that would be this Sunday! 

If it's doable, we can run this Sunday and follow the same scoring as for the Undies, but if not, the scheduled date for this evnet will be August 29rd @ 12pm eastern.


Stay Tunad.....

I might be able to make it. I need to check to see what we have planned at home this weekend before I can commit fully.

I was thinking I had another 6 weeks to get ready for this.

Unless I was asleep for most of August

Fillers?  There's only 3 or 4 people out of 16 so far.  You'd be #5.

Pick any car you want Grilled and get in there and race.  :D

And with that I guess que the duck.

I'll take Carl Edwards and I'll probably drive the car of the same name. I'll probably test and tuna tonight in my lounge if any one wants to join in for testing.

I got questions though.  Can all Nascar cars run or just 2010s or 2011s?

  I meant are we running any cup car or just 2010 cup cars or just 2011 cup cars.  It probably does not matter much but there are slight aero differences in the two.
