The East Coast IRS Shootout includes all LS based IRS cars.
04-06 GTO
98-present Corvette
10-present Camaro
All G8's
All CTS-V's

This event will determine the king of GM IRS as well as the king of each model for our region. The fastest car is not always the winner and thus the reason for crowning a winner. Track days are all about having fun and that is the goal for this event. If you have never been to the track this is the perfect time to come. Bring the family and your car and get ready to have a great time. Who knows you might just take home a nice trophy or a great prize. The worst case senario is that you will meet some great people and take home a cool t-shirt.

Payment Instructions- To make a payment using Paypal, log on to the Paypal site and send your payment of $40 to username tlwsaw2@bellsouth.net. Please note your name and screename, model of car, and an emergency contact when you make a payment. If you would like to mail your payment, send a check or money order for $40 to

Travis Wester
6 Strawberry Ln.
Clyde, NC 28721

Once you make your payment your name will be added to the signup list and you're in!
The host hotel will be the Baymont Inn in Florence,SC again. They have given us a rate of $54 per night plus tax. Be sure to tell them you are part of the East Coast Shootout to get the group rate.


Baymont Inn & Suites Florence
1826 W Lucas Street
Florence, SC 29501

My normal work day is the average person's four hour over time day, and I usually work over time... Maybe next season, maybe not. I have taken on a new focus so I'm not wasting so much time, money and effort on drag racing for a while.

Come on Robert, I spanked Arun so bad last year that he is parting his car out now out of embarrassment!!! And that wasn't even with my own car, I was just borrowing one for the event.


(disclaimer- no I do not think he is parting his car out because of last years outcome... We all get lucky sometimes and Arun's car is awesome)

I was hoping to have a new engine together and going in the car before March, but considering my stuff never runs for the shootout I now know I'm doomed. Thanks for moving it and leaving me down even longer!!!!!!!!!!!!
