I had a lot of fun last year organizing the contests. Luckily no one lost any vital body parts swapping cylinder heads or removing propshafts etc.

I would like to know from those of you who attended what activities from 04 you would like to see in 05?

For sure the SyTy GrandPrix will be back as that was a blast.

But what else? Which ones to keep and which ones to scrap?

Post here or email if you like.

I just hated the part of the SyTy Grand Prix where you had to stop shortest at the end. I remember a sideways white Ty. :lol: Besides that it was a blast.

Lesbian midget glow in the dark jello wrestling kicks ass!!! :rock:

I have faith in my truck. In racing enviorment, I trust my truck a 1/4 mile at a time and autocrossing lap at a time. In a extanded road racing a stock syty with having temp issues with brake, transmission, engine oil, intercooler & engine coolant.

I think autocross would be very cool. I know its been talked about before and it seems like there are logistics problems with a location.

But we still have 6 months to plan- maybe Patrick can hook us up.

I'd like to see the "Most creative plate" contest again, because I intend to be there, and I intend to win.

Usually the contests are SyTy oriented and there is always a chance to win some type of SyTy related prize.
Usually they are quite expensive donations.
We will have to wait and see what our vendors can spare this year, but I am sure it will be more than enough to justify a few goofy contests.

One we came up with too late to get it on last year was
Floor Jack racing.
Standing on the jack pad of your favorite floor jack, holding the handle as if it were a scooter, using a skateboard type motion to propel yourself and your floor jack down the lot around cones and back.

This type of contest is usually best performed in the evening under the parking lot lights while knocking back a few.
We encourage helmets and any safety gear you may feel is necessary.
Any injuries will not be the responsibility nor liability of the SyTy Nats planning committee. :wink:


The run of the mill contests are as follows:
Tire change: fastest person to change all 4 tires, one at a time. roll each tire around the truck without it leaving the ground, ie: no carrying, and get it back on the hub with all lugs torqued to factory spec. There should be a stipulation that the truck used MUST have stock wheels. We have seen a blatant advantage for those with ZR1, or aftermarket wheels because the stock wheels have such a tight area to spin lugs on and off.

Propshaft swap: Quickest to have their shaft out and on the ground 3' in front of the truck with all bolts acccounted for.
Part2 of this contest is fastest to reinstall, but we never have time for that one.
Also Pshaft removal usually takes place immediately before leaving for the dyno. So those who are going to dyno should compete in this contest since they are taking it out anyways.

Head Swap: Quickest person to remove and reinstall one head including gasket and torque all bolts to factory spec.
This one was new last year since patrick brought a donor block and heads.

I cant even remember all the contests from previous years, but we try to come up with something new each year.

Please post your ideas of what sounds fun and what may be a waste of time.

I remember talk of pushing a SyTy race. Maybe teams of 2 people - head to head or a timed event. That could be fun and somewhat undamaging and could be done in the parking lot at the hotel.

I'm sure everyone knows what a pain in the ass pushing one of these can be.

Are we gonna do a powder puff race at the track :) Stacey's been working on her launch technique.
