It was the obvious. Delay boxes.  For the Ballistic blankets, it was just what it said:

Pro classes (except pro-street HD) and Nitrous bikes.  We want speed and record breaking runs.  Thats why the rules are so loose.  It's almost a "Run what you brung" kind of race.  Except a ton of CA$H

And oh yea, Slicks and Bars are exactly what you read correctly.

$20,000 for an ET race.  Now thats racing!

Whom ever doesn't give this a try can not possibly be called a racer.  They are paying out to the Top 8 and you have 2 chances to win Big dollars by signing up for the Street ET or the Pro ET race also.  

This race is going to be an historic event.  Imagine Top Fuelers from HD and Imports battling for $18,000 in payouts.  How about Pro-Stock Bikes from NHRA battling Pro-stock bikes from HD with each running against themselves on each side of the ladder and the finals will determine a HD against an Import.  

We are only going to take 1000 entries and thats it!!!  No more.  We already have entry inquiries from Austrailia, U.K., and Japan.  This is no ordinary race.  You saw the rules, read em again.  You can run almost whatever you want.  This is a race to end all races and we are hoping to make this as famous as the Daytona 500 or the Sturgis Rally.  C'mon folks, the pre-registration form will be in the website in days.  For God sakes, don't miss this chance to be a part of history.

WWW.birbigrace.com

If anyone has any questions, you can e-mail me at GuyCaputo@aol.com

This is your big chance for fame and fortune.  This is guaranteed $$$$  You have better odds than the lotto and you actually can control your outcome.  What have you got to lose?

I will be there.        
I have never heard of a Street ET class that allowed slicks and wheelie bars. That's an interesting concept.
Can anyone enter the Shootout ET class?

2wheeler,

Class rules and standards for the current AMA/Prostar and AHDRA rulebooks will govern ..."any given motorcycle"... only as far as safety equipment is concerned.

What do you think?

I have never been to a AHDRA race. I have been to one Pro Star race. I don't believe you can run slicks and bars in Street Et at Pro Star races. I raced IDBA and PMRA No slicks or bars in Street ET. I don't really care one way or the other. Who knows, it may keep someone from flipping their bike at the starting line. I just never heard of it in Street ET before.

Never mind see you answered above.  Just seems silly to allow slicks and bars in a street class.  But whatever its your race not mine, just giving an opinion.    

p.s.  so which rules are we going to have to use in the prostar rulebook, if all the street et class rules are out the window.

looks like you can run a slider too?  talk about having to run your dial, try sandbaging when your running down a bike that could be as much 10sec slower!and 70mph!

Exactly, no matter what you bring, you have to run your dial in.  I thought slicks and bars was quite an interesting concept.  This race is not a Prostar event or an AHDRA event.  These guys wanted something really different.  Well, I think slicks and bars in Street ET is really different if you ask me.  Look at the purses!!!  No one has guaranteed payouts like this before.  Bring your bike and body up to Brainerd and try your hand at some really big money.  For some of you, it has to be a turkey shoot.

What have you got to lose?  As long as your bike bike passes safety, you have leathers,  snell approved helmet, kill switch, and all the other basics for dragracing, I say go for it.  But remember, only the first 1000 entrants.  The pre-registration form is on the website at www.birbigrace.com

JULY 21-27  every day is our day.  This is an all motorcycle event.  That Monday I think is test and tune.  Friday will be the Shootout ET race.  We are runnnig the entire Shootout ET race in 1 day.  We are allowing 500 entrants into that race with 1 run to get your dial in, then its elimination time.  This was one of the reasons for havin 3 ET races.  Sign up for a Pro or Street ET, and then run the Shootout ET on Friday as an added event.  A ton of $$$$ to be had.  If you do the math and race from sunup to sundown, you can get in all the runs (even with 1 buyback)and have a winner by that night.  $20,000 is a ton of cash, more than the Top Fuel class payout.

What have you got to lose?  And wouldn't you want to be a part of the very first largest motorcycle event in history?  Years from now, your event t-shirt will be a classic.

I understand the rules, The only one I see thats kinda fu%*ked up is the diaper for the pro ET class, because you could possibly get a lot of Street ET racers in the PRO ET Class, ,. but the Diaper will keep them out.I know a lot of people that run Pro ET with basically stock bikes. I would think the Diaper is kinda overkill, atleast for Pro ET>Just my opinion.

Pro-ET is not considered one of the Pro-Classes in this kind of event racing.  If the bike is entered in Pro-ET and yet is a street bike with No NOS, then it does not need a Balistic Blanket.

TF/FB/PM/PF/PS/PD/PG/TG are condidered Pro Classes.  Pro-ET at this event is actually just another ET event for you to win more $$$$ from.  How can you go wrong there.  Quit thinking Prostar and AHDRA, the quickest and the badest are going to be here and we have developed a very liberal rules system to allow most all to contend.  And this is the only event where the underdog has a chance at winning the big dollars in any of the ET events.  Run your number.

Dodo,

preliminary talks have been $35.00 for all week, $25.00 for the weekend and $15.00 for the Finals.  But it's still preliminary.  The track owner wants to make spectator fees very low.  You will be able to find out everything in the following days at www.birbigrace.com
