I went last year and it was a very well run event, and most importantly a ton of fun with some nice fellow stangers to hang with. I will do my best to make it to at least Friday & Saturday. Don't miss this event if possible

Online Registration is Now Open for:

-2nd Annual Car Show 9/9/12
-Autocross 9/8/12 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
-3 Laps Event around New Hampshire Motor Speedway 9/8/12
-Photoshoots 9/8/12 and 9/9/12


Feel free to visit this link to Register:

Smokin Stangs Laconia | Laconia, NH, September 7-9, 2012 | Mustang Event

We recommend Pre-Registration to the above listed Events as they could sell out.

The Meet N Greet at Weirs Beach-Laconia during the day on 9/7/12 and the Drag Night at New England Dragway later that day do not require any Pre-Registration and The Cruise In on Saturday 9/8/12 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway does not either.

Thanks

So the car show class for S197's is 2005 - present? C'mon, really, guys? An 05 has to compete with 2012 & 2013 GT's & Boss 302's? It just doesn't seem right.

better hope they are all stock lol...it stinks but it's whatever, it'll still be a good time

and i'm sure they take into consideration of the brand new models and don't just jump to them to win

It doesn't really matter if a brand new Boss 3002 Laguna Seca is stock or not, it's going to have a huge advantage over any normal GT, etc.

Personally, I much prefer shows that separate out the high end more limited exclusive models (Shelby, Roush, Saleen, etc) into their own judging class.

It's also generally nicer when there's a stock and modified class, so that well maintained stock or near stock GT's aren't going head to head with full-on show cars.

That being said, it is what it is...

Thanks for the suggestion and it makes sense...I have to work on a few things, because certain classes are Sponsored, but I will keep you posted.

Yep, got that, but the specialty models are eligible in the regular '05-'13 Mustang category as well, correct?

If it is a SVT Cobra, Shelby, Roush, Saleen ..they will be judged in their Specialty Class not the regular classes.

Thanks
