East Coast S197 Shootout (Street Series) - Presented by Thump Racing
January 29, 2010

Five Guys Racing is pleased to announce the 2010 East Coast S197 Mustang Shootout at Mason Dixon Dragway in Boonsboro, Maryland, on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Gates open at 10 AM, time trials start at 12:00 noon. Mason Dixon Dragway provides a centrally located, easily accessed facility on the Eastern seaboard complete with concessons, sponsor space, and nearby hotels.

The event was originally intended to focus on the 4.0L and 4.6L naturally aspirated S197's with six index, side-by-side race classes.  However, due to popular demand the forced induction crowd is invited to participate in six additional classes for added excitement. The facility will manage a Sportsman ladder, and racers will face a .5 Pro Tree and half second indexes. The overall emphasis is on street cars you can live with and drive every day, so all cars must be tagged and registered, and cannot be gutted. Winners in each class will receive trophies.ve trophies.

Prizes - Thump Racing has generously donated over $2,200 in cash and prizes in support of this event.  Thanks to Thump Racing and all of our excellent supporters, we have several aluminum belt tensioners, a set of aluminum fuel rails for a 4.6L 3 valve motor, and trophies as class prizes.

NOTE: We will not be taking pre-payments, as we did last year.  All payments will be made directly to the track officials upon arrival at the raceway.  For those of you with a pre-pay credit, you will be added to a VIP entry list and refunds for the balance will be issued on race day.

The following classes have been developed:

Grudge Matches and "Test & Tune"!
