Solo Turkey Shootout - Sunday November 4, 2012 at Spence Field. Following the very popular Evolution Performance Driving School’s Super Shootout format, the Dixie Turkey Shootout Solo features an event where all class winners and the top half of the Shootout qualifiers are determined by your first 4 runs. The top half qualifiers are determined from the overall PAX results, and are locked into the shootout. Once the top half of the field is locked in, the remaining competitors get a second chance at the Turkey Shootout in the Last Chance Turkey Qualifier (LCTQ). The LCTQ is 2 additional runs that the remaining competitors will try and get into the Turkey Shootout by finishing in the top 8 in PAX in the LCTQ. Then the remaining Solo Turkey Shootout positions will be from a random drawing. With the Solo Turkey Shootout field complete, the competitors are separated into a 2 bracket system. The top 2 qualifiers take the number one seed in each bracket. The first round of each bracket will be 2 runs with no adjustments allow to the car. The Shootout will run on a PAX system where each pairing will run heads up with the winner advancing to the next round. The winners of each bracket will be running for the top Shootout spot worth cash and prizes.

The Shootout seems like a lot of runs and computations. With a draw from other regions for this great event, what time are we gonna finish, or should this be a two day event?

[IPPO]

Plan is for a one day event and finish before sunset.

[unFIT2compete]

Isn't that always "The Plan?"

[redemon]

Would I need to run SMF with the PAX to be competitve?
I still dont really understand PAX.

[unFIT2compete]

do you have an engine swap or a turbo? I think you're closer to FSP.

[redemon]

Stock motor.
Just lots of suspension mods and tires.

[redemon]

Just read up on FSP.
Think i might go that route for the turkey shootout.
My hatch will be in SMF for sure though as it will have a motor swap

[unFIT2compete]

now you need some r-competition tyres for a true
FSP car(below 100 treadwear, which would break the ONLY rule in the TI class)

[unFIT2compete]

Just to throw a monkey wrench into your well laid plans Mr. Mouse, I overheard discussions on creating a PAX the TI class can use for the Shootout.

[redemon]

Well Im sure I would get bumped anyway.
Im the only FSP car out there I think.
I could be wrong
