Hello all,

Dezod Motorsports and Dezod West have been talking about renting Firebird International Raceway off and on in different forums. Many had kind things to say and sounded like they wanted an event such as this. So we started churning some numbers, making phone calls, and seeing what we could do. The event would be at Firebird Raceway, on May 31st. The date is now FINAL so spread the word!

Dezod is BIG into Honda and Scion. I think naturally this would make for some good competition. The race is open to ALL CARS, providing they pass inspection. We would be breaking down the racing into different groups. The track is Firebird West. It is a 1.1 mile road race circuit. We will also have a large lot for a full car show. Some vendors would be there, some possible sport compact celebrities, as well as music and food.

The course looks like this:


There will be classes based on engine, and possibly drivetrain, depending on the amount of cars we get. An example would be 4cyl Front wheel drive, naturally aspirated, and 4 cyl front wheel drive, with forced induction. Prizes will be given out.

This is NOT intended for wheel to wheel racing, so do not worry about crashing into anyone, or anyone crashing into you. This is a time attack event. The car show will be divided into multiple classes as well, which will be determined by the interest we receive, and how many cars enter.

The event is going to be fairly large, one of the largest physical Scion/Honda events in the country. Other car types will be there as well, including Cobalts and some other domestics. I think it will be a great way to meet other enthusiasts, and for owners to see what Dezod cars do on and off the race track.

Paul and I will be helping in tuning, giving driving tips, answering questions, and racing some company cars.

The prices below are final:

Racer admission (includes 1 spectator ticket) - $70
Show Admission (includes 1 spectator ticket) - $25
Bundle Admission (includes 1 spectator ticket) - $85
Tuner Admission (does not include any show, race, or spectator entry) - $50
Spectator (12 and under are Free) - $10

UPDATE 1: You CAN enter both Race and Show. It will not be the full price of combining both admissions. We will offer a discount for both, though the exact number is not set in stone yet.

Update 2: Date moved to May 31st. Concession stands with food and drink will be there. Helmets will be needed. Tuning tickets available.

More to come!

sounds like it could be a good time for sure. I would be interested for sure.

Joe_Dezod

Aweomse thanks guys!

Be sure to let me know if you're more interested in the Show, or the Race event, or possibly both.

We need to make a deposit soon so I'm trying to figure out what we should expect.

There will be food and drinks, music, a couple vendors (Manufacturers), etc. I think should be fairly large.

We have 3-4 different forums interested in this. I want the Scions repping harder than everyone else guys, make me proud! Haha

lil_will

Joe_Dezod

EVERYONE can race.

Paul and I will be inspecting cars, but all cars are allowed.

Joe_Dezod

Make a drive with all the guys back over there! It's 3 days of driving and two hotel nights lol.

It will be a big event though. I think people from all over the country will be there.

This sounds AWESOME, I love road coarses.
I would love to take the xB on the road coarse, see if my suspension upgrades were worth the money .
Would we be able to enter both track and show?
If so, Would there be a discount or set price for both?

iocca

if i could get a trailer, i dont want to put that many miles on my car, plus i dont think ill have enough done by then to make it worth it.... will there be a longest drive trophy

Joe_Dezod

I'm honestly looking forward to seeing the xBs on the track. I hope everyone brings lots of cameras and camcorders!

I would love to offer both track and show enteries to each driver. I think what we'll do is slightly discount the show fee, most likely by $10 dollars. Normally you get a free single spectator pass with either admission, because you want both, I'll discount the cost of a spectator ticket.

Preordered tickets will most likely be less expensive than at the gate so please, everyone follow this thread for when tickets go on sale.

Joe_Dezod

That stinks, but at the same time congradulations man!

If we do indeed bump the date up to Fall, I'll personally let you know so you can plan for it. Either way best of luck and I'll see you at the next show.

Joe_Dezod

As I was saying to Jeremy, it may get pushed to fall if the turbo out will be better. I'll let you guys know.

Thanks for the kind words.

Joe_Dezod

If you come hell yeah! That's a great idea with the trophy though. And anyone that makes a drive like that will be receiving some well deserved recognition.

Mr_Meaty

I'd love to come, probably just for show with the way my tune is right now, but my whole family will already be in AZ middle of april, so we can't make that trip (with the 3 kids) in back to back months like that.

And I take it there is only the road coars, not 1/8 or 1/4 mile strip?
