In talking to the track manager he passed along the Sat show would be run as the Sunday show . Tech opens 8am Qualifying at 10am Eliminations at 1pm (not 3 like the flyer says). The weather is looking FAST - 2 races 1 tow - grade point for Sunday race - low entrée $100 per day - Another Fantastic payout by MCR!

Win $2000 RU $1000 Semi $750 - $500 - $250 - $100

So the Saturday race is the one you need to run in Stock/ Super Stock to get your grade point? No Grade point on Sunday for S/SS?

Being from Colorado and have had spent a small fortune over the years in Kearney and racing there a lot I can tell you this: The town of Kearney will probably be the nicest 30,000 people town you are likely to ever see. The .19 correction factor more often than not is very well deserved, you have a 2130 altitude, with a constant blowing of the wind, some times this will help, some times this will hurt, you will see both this weekend. It likes to rain there a lot, last year 300 miles into the trip, it was called due to rain. The baro can range between 27.40 and a very rare 28.20, the wind usually goes hand in hand with a low baro. I have gone to this race every year for as long as I can remember, one time I can remember very good conditions. My decision to go Sunday will be made Saturday when I have a look at the baro and the wind direction. Good luck

Re: Kearney National Open Oct 5th & 6th

I believe the Grade Point is for the Sunday race since it is the actual National Open race. Al or Dan, correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Kearney National Open Oct 5th & 6th

Sorry my earlier post confused a few people. There is 2 S/SS races this weekend.

Sat Race is a MCR race sponsored by Tonniges Chevrolet

Sun Race is a NHRA Nat Open race sponsored by Tonniges Chevrolet with MCR sponsoring the payout.

Again 2 races 1 tow - Fantastic payout - grade point ( sunday race only) - low entrée of $100 per day

What about setting a record? Normally the Sunday race you get 1 hit and then eliminations if I remember correctly?

Sean

Re: Kearney National Open Oct 5th & 6th

Sean I believe you can set record on Sat but please talk it over with NHRA staff
when you tech in Friday or Sat I am sure they can steer you the right direction.

Re: Kearney National Open Oct 5th & 6th

Thanks Dan! I am waiting on an answer from Travis. See everyone tomorrow.

Re: Kearney National Open Oct 5th & 6th

If you set a record on sat, it used to be if you went quicker on you run sun it counted. Not sure if it that way now. You can not use a Elimination run for a record, say you go faster in the combo race. Good luck to all and have fun. Tom

The conditions at any track are the same for everyone. The best thing a racer can do is to have their car on a track with other similar classed cars and see how they compare.

There will be several G/SA cars there, so your Buick will feel right at home. Monty Jones' stuff is always fast so you'll have a good car to compare to.

Hope to see you there! :) -Al
