Very good pics! Looks like a fun event, but nothing near the Imports vs. Domestics we have @ Maryland Intnl Dragway! usually have a couple hundred cars racing, and it's only been held 3 times! Lot's of full out dragcars and tons of ricer boys trying to compete.

 

That is ALOT of cars!! Drags only? That is easy to push that many thru, this is a more "lets see what your car can do, and how does it stack up" This will see who's car can stop/turn/accelerate. Not only in a stait line, but OVERALL. More complex event. There will be over 1K applying for the spots on TEAM USA and TEAM IMPORT, and should get a crowd of 10K watching this. Drags are coool, but that just shows how ones car performs in a strait line-thats it. The real time consumer for us it the HUGE autox course. can only have so many cars on the track at a time. Ricer boys won this event last 2 years, this time, I wouldn't bet on the imports, from what I see "showing interest" to run to represent TEAM USA. Thanks for the kind words!

 

[B]!!Registration will be open at Midnight!! Don't forget................. Happy New Year to all you guys/gals! Get registered as soon as you can. It is NOT first come first serve, just want you to know Registration will be open, starting tonight!![/B]

 

As some may know, and for those who don't, this event is for the kids at Riley Hospital for Children-Here in Indianapolis. For whatever reason, those kids were dealt a bad blow early on in their lives, and because of that, we are coming together, as an automobile community, to roll up our sleeves, tighten the chin-strap on our helmets, and go out there and RIP IT UP on the track, and raise alot of money for those kids!! It will be a day you WON'T FORGET!!

Here is how we are going to spend the day:

It is an Import vs Domestic Shootout, to see "Who has what", in terms of strait-line acceleration, braking, cornering, and overall handling of their cars. This year we are changing the events a bit, to keep it EXCITING to both Participate in, and to WATCH!! The pace and events will be fast, and will be the most fun you can have, and you should go home at the end of the day, with a warm heart, and a grin that won't wipe off!!

Number of cars: The field will be bigger this year, whereas we will have 130 cars. (65 for TEAM IMPORT/65 FOR TEAM USA) Registration will be open for a couple months, to get everyone who wants to compete, a change to enter the "pool" of participants. Teams will be selected at that time, to be evenly matched, in their classes.

Racing Events:

1. Auto-x. Each team member has 3 passes on a large autox course. This event you will race for lowest time/fastest run, which will count for the team.

2. Dragrace: You will have 5 passes down the dragstrip, with LOW E.T. being the time you keep for the team.

3. Carshow for Racers: Your car will be parked and judged and scored. This is your "break time" to go look around/eat/take in the cars in the GENERAL carshow, etc...

This is a "TEAM" effort, whereas 65 cars compete for points for their team, and at the end of the day, we will crown one team: "Winged Warrior III Speed Challenge Champions!" Either Team USA, or Team IMPORT.

There will also be individual battles. Your Team USA class, will be pitted against the same class on the Team IMPORT side! We will award trophies to each class 1st/2nd/3rd.

The Car/Motorcycle/racecar/exotic/truck show will be going on the grounds at the same time. There will be LOTS of trophies/Prizes that are up for grabs, and plenty of Vendors, food drink and more!.

(If you are considering Vending/Sponsoring, let us know as the spaces are filling up)

This is just a brief update on how we are running things for this event, and how things are going to work out for this year, it is OPEN to people with STOCK cars, all the way up to WOW cars, NO EXPIERENCE, to LOTS OF EXPIERENCE- This event is OPEN FOR YOU!

You will walk away from this event, with a happy feeling, that you did the best you could, both for yourself, and the kids who need you, and surely you will have made friends which will last a lifetime!

If you haven't yet, go sign up and join us today!

More to follow on this, but Friday, May 11th, we will be having our TECH inspection at O'Reilly Raceway Park for the cars selected to compete in the WWIII. We will also be allowing some Test and Tune on the DRAGS that evening as well. Track will be open till Midnight, the day before our event.

There is alot more to mention, and that will come out shortly, just don't wan't to get too wordy yet!! We are going to do something special for the kids in the hospital come race day, you surely will think it is special as well. Again, more details out soon. Go sign up and enjoy everything on the site!! www.wingedwarrior.net click WW Forums, or Register tab.

Till later,

Kevin Butterfield D.C.
Chairman of the Board.

 

Lots of mustangs signing up, YOUR TURN!!

 

fyi: Registration Runs From Now Till March 16th!!! Teams Posted April 2nd!!

 

To clarify on the DRAG RADIALS, you CAN use them!!! But they have to have 60 treadwear or higher. Nitto 555R's have a 100 TW rating for example, so their fine. Hope this clears the air a bit. Now go sign up.

 

O'Reilly Raceway Park 2007 Schedule is UP!!!

http://www.oreillyracewaypark.com/ap...7809&zoneid=96


It Appears we are going to have a TECH PARTY on Friday, with the "midnight madness" crowd. We will have a barbacue/Meet and Greet/Teching of your vehicle as well! LOOKS LIKE A GREAT TIME GOT EVEN BETTER!! More on this later.

 

KNOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT COOL **** MAN...

 

Thanks!! Making the trek?

 

Just a tid-bit of news: We will have the "TECH PARTY" on May 11th, at the track. This will be a time to meet your new team members. We will be having a cookout as well, and this will also be the time to rip it up the track, for some testing and tuning to get ready for your "battle" on May 12th. (Test and Tune is Optional)

Again, I stress that this event, ANYONE can register!! Sign up for this, as I bet you will kick yourself May 13th if you didn't. If the registration is closed, and you didn't throw your hat in the ring for selection,you might just have to wait for WWIV!

We cannot also stress the fact enough, that there will be a HUGE carshow, with everything on wheels expected to be there-LOTS TO SEE AND DO!! Carshow entrants can be done via the website, OR at the gate. There is PLENTY of room for you guys for the show! Pass this info on to the people you know, who "JUST WANT TO SHOW!!

There will also be Vendors there as well. Just go on the site, and click FORUMS and "watch" the chatter-discussions there. Definetly worth the trip!

 

Some good event info, on how things will be "played out".

http://www.wingedwarrior.net/eventinfo.php

 

I guess the easiest way to explain this event to someone is: We want to see which team of 65 cars (import or domestic) can get thru the events the Quickest! (DRAGS and the AUTO-X). This event will test the teams capabilites in STOPPING/TURNING/BRAKING and FLATOUT ACCELERATION!! So that part is the team effort. What your STRONG event is, may be your teammate in another classes weakness- got to help each other out.

On top of that, whatever "class" you are in, you also will get to vie for trophies amongst your class: 1/2/3rd place in all events! It will be quite a fun/exciting day all the way around. So........If your car is just better suited for drags, YOUR TEAM STILL NEEDS YOU!! and if your car is better suited for AUTOX, YOUR TEAM ALSO NEEDS YOU! So don't think you can't enter due to (Enter excuse here) because you CAN! No expierence is needed, and there will be cars from BONE STOCK, to highly Modded. Bone stock Imports will run against Bone stock Domestic cars, etc... Whatever car you have in your garage right now, is PERFECT for this event! Register it!

 

Edit: Change "Quickest" to "Team with most points WINS!"

 

Any other questions? don't pass on this one up! Check out our "old teaser" DVD, for the event last year. Maybe that will get your excitement up. We all know you will get "antsy" once it starts getting warm out!! If you have any questions, just ask! Click on MEDIA over there for photos of everything we have done. You probably know someone in those photos.

Enjoy

You are welcome to sign up fellas!! It will be a fun time!! Let me explain my screenname, as I MEAN NO DISRESPECT by it: I am 42, and not some cocky kid thumping his chest! LOL.

First of all, it is a joke with a friend of mine, NO DISRESPECT intended to mustang owners/enthusiasts. I have owned MANY mustangs, and SVT cobras in my life, and LOVE THE CARS!! I just have a family of 5 now to tote around, and needed a 4 door, so I sold my beloved Mustang Cobra and bought the evo. My friend has a Mach1 (see photo), and he told me "2 liters" are for Soda bottles, and "you will never whoop me in that thing" (Talking about my Evo). We did race, and SURE ENOUGH, he whooped me!!! :cry: :cry:

So I then made this photo for promoting the IMPORT vs DOMESTIC SHOOTOUT for WWII. I put a sticker on the back of my car which reads: "Todays Special: Smoked Mustang". It is a reminder FOR HIM, to give me another run against him!! I keep taunting him for a rematch, and I told him, that if he beats me again, I would remove the sticker............he hasn't asked for a rematch yet.
That is where I got my screenname.........

And again, this is my friends Mach one I am referring to. :lol: :lol:

 

I will leave it alone for a while.

 

Just a heads-up on what is going on:

Registration to race has a little over 4 weeks to go, so if you want to join a team and compete in WWIII, you should get in BEFORE registration closes Mid March. Again, you don't have to have a modded car, OR Expierence to enter! You will be in a class with the same type of car you drive now!! Don't be intimidated........seriously. Enter with a friend if you want, and you can duke it out together.

If you want to enter the GENERAL Car/bike/truck show, that PRE-registration will open within the week, and you can even register for that at the gate if you want to, on May 12th.

Anyone interested in becoming a Vendor, you can also contact us about "Early Bird" registration on that also, BIG savings on that as well. Great place to market/sell your products in front of TONS of people-Great exposure for you.

The registrations are coming in all the time, and this event is shaping up to be a doozy! It is going to be LOTS OF FUN! Don't delay on getting in, if you do, you just might kick yourself if you decide to join after it's too late!

TELL A FRIEND/ Pass the word on if you know someone who would like to race/show with us! Thanks.

 

Running down to the wire, jump in, before its too late. That being said,

The registration is going well, which I have said all along. We need more "meat in the potatos" as far as the lower classes go. We would like to see them fill up more. We are specifically looking for Focuses/Cobalts (Supercharged or NOT) V6 stangs, and all other cars in Classes "D/E/F". Again, MORE TEAM USA cars are needed in those. Import side is good in those classes (More of those is always good also).

If you know a friend, or someone in your local forum/carclub, who has such a car, you can ask them for us, if they want to enter, and have a great time with us on May 12th. Just thought I would mention this, as we are winding down on the registration process, and teams will be chosen SOON!! Thanks, as always, for helping out!

This is what we want to see more of (mildly modded or stock to fit into the lower 2 classes):
Saturn Ion, Sky
Ford Focus, Taurus, Mustangs (V6, 94-04 stock V8 ), F150 Lightning, Probe
Chevy Cavalier / Cobalt, Camaro (V6)
Dodge Neon (and stock SRT-4), Stratus RT
Pontiac Solstice, Fiero, Grand Am, Grand Prix
Mercury Cougar (v6)
Eagle Talon

Basically anything domestic you see in the WW-E and WW-F classes in the rules. Thanks!

 

Getting close to closing the registration for the racers. Racers REGISTRATION CLOSES ON MARCH 15th!!! If you want to race, must register by then. If you want to "show" your car, you can register at the track on Race/Show day, May 12th.

Can a mod put this in the calendar, I will remember you at Christmas time! Thanks.

This is your friendly reminder.

 

I am not sure if I posted this, too many pages to read,:lol: but here is the BATTLEFIELD! Ready??

Here is the area we will be "stretching" our legs!! Looks like a FAST track no?

RED lines show where we want to run the autox, not the actual course layout. LOL. Still has to go thru the MVSCC on to how much of the area we want, will be used. more on that later. Autox area has been repaved in areas!! Nice surface!

 

Dear fellow gearheads, I wan't to personally thank you for letting me in your "home" to promote this event. I really appreciate that. There are only 2 weeks left to register for the race. Please keep that in mind, for those of you still on the fence.

Some of you on here have registered already. Check the site on April 2nd, to see the photo lineups of the teams. (On the Winged Warrior site)

You guys can register to enter the carshow, on the website, or at the gate.

I will back out of here now, and tend to the tasks at hand- gearing up for the event. If you have any more questions or comments, you will find me over on the www.wingedwarrior.net site, same screenname. You can also email me personally at gbutter@webworks2000.net We hope to see you out there, either racing/showing, or just being there for the kids.

Again,Thanks for looking in!!

Winged Warrior III Race/Show Itinerary:

RACE ITINERARY:

FRIDAY MAY 11th:

We will be having our "WW Tech", and the autox tech on Friday May 11th. We will be doing this at O'Reilly Raceway Park, and sharing the track with ORP's scheduled "Midnight Madness" event. There will be LOTS of people, and lots of cars dragracing. We will have our own "Winged Warrior" area to conduct tech, and it will be a great time to meet and greet your team mates. Since alot of you are coming from out of town, you just lineup when you get there. 6PM-???? Since it is Midnight madness night, my guess is, they are open till at least midnight. Once your car is teched, and stickered, you are free to go. For those wanting to stay, and race, the track will charge you $15 to do that. You can let us know in advance if you want to race Friday, so we can hold back a ticket for you to do that. The track will have food and drink there for you to purchase, if you need it.
You will also get your car numbering on Friday night, along with your "T" shirt to wear on raceday. Further instructions will be given at this time also. The gate of entry, is the North gate. We will give the racers instructions on what to do, so we can pull you out of the line, and get you to tech. More on that soon.
Those who CANNOT tech on Friday Night, MUST be at the track Saturday at 7AM SHARP to tech.

SATURDAY MAY 12th:

Those NOT teched Friday, must be at the track at 7AM SHARP for tech
Vendors setup at 7-8AM
Volunteers arrive at 8AM
Drivers arrive at 7:00AM for tech (Drag tech for 1st group)
Course walk at 8:00-9:30
Drivers meeting 9:30
Flag drops at 10AM.
Trophy presentation 6PM.
You will have approx. 2 hours per event: (Drag/autox/carshow). The "Carshow" is different then the GENERAL CARSHOW, as this is actually your "Break" time. Your time to walk around, rest, eat, drink, watch the other racers, or check out the GENERAL CARSHOW.
The events will be scored 40% drag/40% autox/20% carshow. You will have 5 passes down the dragstrip, and 3 passes on the large autox course. You can (at your discretion) waive the remainder of the runs, after you get ONE run in the books for a team score.
The track will be VHT prepped for each group. Faster cars can get first dibs on the "glue", whereas, the AWD cars might want to go last in your group if you don't want the VHT (Glue).
Entry for Racers and Volunteers is the south Gate, and Carshow and General public enter thru the western gates, see photo.
