Default SS/K Stick Shift Shootout Class Nationals May 2014

I have been working on this for a few weeks now. I wanted to get a group of racers together to run a SS/K Stick Shift Shootout at the Class Nationals next May. I'm happy to report I have had great feedback and a lot of excitement about this. I have contacted a lot of racers and potential sponsors for the Shootout.

I'm happy to announce that Dean Oliver (Deano's Carbs) has stepped up to be the title sponsor for this Shootout. I can't thank Dean enough for doing this. Here is what Dean is doing for the SS/K Shootout.

Dean Oliver of Deano's Carburetors has stepped up to offer a custom blueprinted carburetor to the winner of the SS/K Shootout (up to a $1000 value)! Winner must display Deano's decal or license plate throughout the Shootout (decals available at the track). Participants may contact Dean for details.





I have sent letters to several other potential sponsors for this Shootout. I hope to hear from them soon. I will update this link as I get new information and/or responses.

Here is a list of racers that I have contacted that have either committed to running in the SS/K Shootout or have expressed interest in participating in it. My goal is to have 12-16 cars run in it. I am still contacting racers and welcome anyone else who can run SS/K. If you know of another racer who can run K please have them contact me.

Dan Schlieker

Tony Fillipone

Matt Steen
Wayne Denklau
Gene Bichlmeier
Bill Zaskowski (Maybe Brad too!)
Bobby Fazio
Roger Rosebush
Steve Koch
Ed Fabien

Also a big thank you to Michael Beard for working with me on this and including this SS/K Shootout in his Class Nationals flyer. Thanks Michael.

This has been a lot more work than I thought, but it's been fun. I hope to get several more sponsors to step up. It will be great for those who compete in this. Of course if anyone else wants to support this Shootout in anyway please contact me. Thanks. Ed

Thumbs up Re: SS/K Stick Shift Shootout Class Nationals May 2014

Thanks for doing this,, Ed. I can't wait to see this "race within a race",,, it should be a blast.
As a former '66 Nova SS stick car owner back in the '70s, I'm a little biased to you guys.
Good luck to all who participate in this "shootout".

We're running Lucas Oil CLASS Eliminations for all Stock and Super Stock classes, with an Iron Tree trophy and a Lucas Oil product to every winner, so anything you guys can put together on your own, we're more than happy to advertise on the flyer -- something you can leverage in your quest for sponsors. The first print run of flyers is done, but we update the online version of the flyer right away whenever we add a new sponsor (www.looserocker.com/ncn) so the earlier someone makes a commitment, the more advertising they receive. We'll do another physical print run of flyers this winter, as there are a number of companies interested in the event, but work on a later budget cycle.

A big thank you to McLeod Clutches owner Paul Lee for your support of the SS/K Stick shift Shootout! McLeod Clutches is awarding the following gift certificates for the
SS/K Shootout at the Class Nationals

Winner 1000.00
R/U 500.00

Thanks again to McLeod for your support



This race is getting more and more support. I hope all the K cars can make it next May. I'm going to try to put something together so all the competitors get something. Kinda like what Jim S is doing for the A/S A/SA shootout.

Thanks again to everyone who is supporting this Shootout!
