Official RTTHS6 Thread

[Bill Howell]

Can you believe it, the sixth annual RTTHS. It will be Sept. 17-19.
The registration will be up early next week.



Itinerary:
Friday: Cruise the Dragon and BBQ at Precision Hot Rods
Plan on leaving Main Stay at 12 NOON
Saturday: Autocrossing at the Stadium. We will meet at the stadium at 7AM, must be off the lot by 4PM
Sunday: Dragracing and Speed/Stop Challenge at 411 Dragway

Official RTTHs 6 rules.
1.Registration will be open this week. Please register and pay, either by paypal or sending me a check if you intend to attend. In the past I have let this rule slide, but it just gets too complicated to collect money at the event. Pre registration just makes life easier for everyone.
2. Sorry guys, but no refunds if we have a rain day like we did last year. Insurance and other expenses occur, and even though a rain day is hard to do, I must enforce this rule too. As everyone knows, we fill up the field quickly, so if something happpens and you can not come, it is not a problem to sell your spot, just know this will be up to you, I don't have time to broker spots once they go on sale.
3. As usual with RTTHs we will sell the event al carte, so you can do the things you pick, you don't have to pay for parts you will not be participating in.
4. We will not have separate classes, vendors will run with everyone else. However, as usual, they will not be eligible for prizes.
5. Each ticket will qualify you for a drawing for a grand prize on Sunday. Yes, once again Forgeline and Prodigy Customs has stepped up and will offer a FREE SET of FORGELINES to that lucky participant.
6. To qualify for King of the Hill, you must participate in all of the segments of the event. Cruise on Friday, Autocross, Dragrace and Speed/Stop Challenge.
7. I will post the scoring this year in another post, stay tuned.
8. Host hotel is as usual Main Stay Suites in Pigeon Forge. We have a group of rooms reserved, I know several of you have already registered, be sure and book early so you will be sure to have a room. Here is that link http://www.mainstaypigeonforge.com/
9. One Car/One Driver rule. New rule guys, it is getting hard to keep up with different drivers in the same car, and confusion sometimes happens. To stop that, I have decided one driver per car. Also, you can register and drive two or more cars, but must declare which car is running for the win. Any other cars driven by you will be exibition only.
10. With the exception of some guys that help out every year, I am limiting this year's event to 1981 and older cars. I have to turn cars away every year, so figure it is time now to allow only muscle era cars to participate. Sorry guys, but this has been coming. Those that have been before in newer cars and help every year know who you are, and we look forward to seeing you here again this year.



If you are a vendor and would like to display at the event, contact me asap. This will be limited to a few vendors and we already have a pretty good group that come. Cost to display both days is $300 and this includes one spot to run. Additional spots can be bought at regular price.
If you are a vendor that can not attend but would like to offer a door prize, please contact me via pm or call so I can put you down.

This is the last event of the year that you can qualify for the optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge in Nevada the day after SEMA so keep that in mind. It is also the final event for this year's contingency programs so be sure and get in on that.

Melinda and I look forward to seeing everyone and having everyone over to our place. See Ya'll soon.

Here is the way we will score each segment to come up with the winner of that segment and combine the scores to come up with the King of the Hill. Thanks Jimi Day for letting me borrow your system. There will be three segments, plus a 5 point bonus for the cruise.

First place 10 points
Second place 9 points
Third place 8 points
Fourth place 7 points
Fifth place 6 points
Sixth place 5 points
Seventh place 4 points
Eighth place 3 points
Ninth place 2 points
Tenth place and lower 1 point

In the rare chance that we have a tie, the tie breaker will be the participant with the highest score in the autocross.

That rule is only if you plan to run the auto x right?

We may or may not have a pre 1981 car ready. Might bring the turbo truck down again.

But we still plan to come down, im ready to call mainstay.

I look forward to attending again this year.

Bill,

Are you going to have another "1 of 60 t-shirt sale" this year? If so, count me in. I thought that was pretty cool last year.

[Bill Howell]

I was unclear about something guys. IF you have been here before and participated with a 82 or newer car, that car is welcomed back for exibition only, you will be involved just not eligible for win. It has to be in a car that has been here before though.

I will start a list though for others, in case we don't fill the venue. First come first serve so add your name here now and car type/year.

[Bill Howell]

No 1/60 shirts this year, I will have a RTTH6 shirt for sale, it will be similar to the RTTC shirt design.

Is there a host hotel? My wife and I are going to go this year. I got the Nova running again with a new fuel tank and pump and it lives again. I can't wait to go and neither can my wife. I plan on driving down on Thursday from St. Louis.

Where do we sign up for the event? I'm in for all of the events.
