GM High-Tech Performance magazine wants fast, great looking southern GM vehicles to participate in an all-makes shootout at the Texas Motorplex. This closed-track event, which will be held on November 17, 2003 at Ennis, Texas, will be by invitation only. Participants will have the chance to race on a closed track while GMHTP staffers snap photos for an upcoming article in the magazine. There are no noise restrictions. For consideration, your 10.99 or faster GM must have an EFI GM motor, it and the driver must be NHRA legal for the vehicle’s ET, and you must be available on Monday, November 17 and Tuesday, November 18 for the shootout and its rain date.

The application process will be fully electronic. To apply, email an overall, engine, and interior .jpg digital photo of your ride, ET slips and/or dyno numbers, a list with your buildup info and NHRA safety equipment, and home, work, and cell phone numbers, to:
rick.jensen@primedia.com
The deadline for these applications is October 16. Invitees will be notified by phone no later than October 17. Thanks and good luck!

 

Define "southern".

Power adders allowed? Non-GM EFI allowed?

If not, the field is going to be pretty small.

 

I'd be interested, if my car is running, and I knew what the hell this "southern" event is.

 

"must have an EFI GM motor"

Sheeze that does narrow the field quite a bit.

 

I doubt my ride will be done by then, plus I was going to hook up a 150 shot, but there's no way it will all be ready by Nov 17th. Is anybody on TGO going to even apply? There's probably not to many efi cars quicker than 10.99et's at least they don't post much. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year for an event like this.

 

People willing to take their car to Ennis in November.

Darn, I'm in Illinois. Not that my car would be very impressive.

 

Wish they'd do something like this around here, then again I guess I'd have to get my car all one color

Funny you should say that, because we did have two previous shootouts right across the river in New Jersey and we received lots of feedback asking us to hold them somewhere else.

 

yea very interested in a jersey shoot out! oh wait i don't have an efi engine. oh well

 

Figured as much, I always seem to miss everything even though I spend most of my summer at E-Town/Atco/Island and others.

Speaking of which, are you guys still covering/sponsering the EFI Shootout's at E-Town? Just wondering scince the GMHTP name seems to have been dropped from the flyers. I could be wrong, but I'll be racing there next Sat either way.

gmhtp should hold something in michigan/ohio area...

 

We covered the National F-Body Motorsports event last year in Indiana, as well as the the GS Nats in Bowling Green.

 

If you don't see our name on it, we're not affiliated with it, but we did cover those races for a long time.
