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

Ed,

This is great news and plenty of time to grow this list even further!

My interest in the SS/K shootout and the 283 goes back to my very first street car which was a brand new Midnight Blue 1964 Chevy11 Sedan with a 283/195 hp 2bbl, with a Muncie wide ratio 4 speed, and a 355 posi.

Of coarse about as quickly as I could my buddy's and I installed a Carter AFB D series 4 bbl carb, dual exhaust, and 327/365 solid lifter camshaft. We also slapped on a set of Atlas bucron rear tires and this car was suddenly transformed in to a 7,000 rpm rocket.

It was also a big plus that the damn thing only weighed a whopping 2750 pounds according to the shipping weight on my registration. In hindsight had I never had this car I doubt I would have ever graduated to the drag strip.

What a blast!

MK

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

Update Eddie Rezac is supporting the SS/K Shootout. Eddie makes front end kits for the Chevy II's. I have one of his kits on my car and I know several of the other cars do as well. Eddie is paying 100.00 to the winner and 50.00 to the r/u. Does not have to be a Chevy II and no decal required. If you have a Chevy II spread the word for Eddie on his kit.

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

What is the front end kit he sells? I'm doing a 67 nova now. Also, one more dumb question. I ran an ex C\SM nova in 82, 83, and 84, and every time I limited the front end to control wheel stands, I'd knock the front end out of line. What do you all do to cure this? When I left it unlimited, it'd stand on the bumper, and when I controlled it to a couple of feet, it'd get knocked out of line.

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

Here is info on Eddie's front end kit.

To correct bump steer and toe drag problems on 1967 and older Chevy II's, I still build a tie rod kit for these cars. It is a bolt on kit, no bending or other hassles. It comes with an instruction sheet on how to align the front. Just bolt it in, align the front end and go racing. I did a lot of research, and built these things back in the 70's and 80's when I raced Super Stock. For more info about this set up, you can send me a P.M. or email me at eddierezac@yahoo.com 402-443-8424

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

Ed, you have done a GREAT JOB with this! It shows what is possible when People take action to support their passion! Keep it up. If anyone wants to jump in and support this class, don't be shy! I am sure Ed can handle the extra support. Still time to get some more K Cars ready.

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

I was going to ask Billy Nees to try to find a Plymouth Reliant for me, but as a promoter, I can't compete at the race anyway. ;-)

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

You'd have to run Reliant in GT I believe the HP rating on the new suprcharged hemi should put it in K . Maybe call Sergio and get a letter for stock ---Trevor

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

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

Just wondering since the purse is large PRIZE $$$ will there be fuel check, scales and inspections?? Also, will there be tear down of winner & runner up to make sure everyone is what they say they are?? Just wondering if it is going to be fair for everyone involved??

I know this if for FUN.... but for this kinda $$$ people will do crazy things??

Thanks,
Stephen & Lori Belanger

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

The event flyer has stated since day 1 that there will be tech, scales, fuel check, and inspections may be done at any time.

While in need of updating with the strong influx of sponsors, the latest version of the flyer is always available on www.looserocker.com.

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

See the interest in this? NHRA, and IHRA are missing the boat. Racers, and spectators want to see HEADS UP RACING! THEY DON'T CARE HOW FAST THE CARS ARE! THEY WANT TO SEE HEADS UP RACING!!!!!

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

Randy : I am going to have to disagree with your assessment of Racers and Spectators wanting to see Heads up racing . The reason long time ago the index system was done was to save racing for the racers as well as the spectators who like the thrill of the Chase. The Stock and Super Stock classes racing off the records was killing Stock and Super Stock as There was not a fair and balanced playing field for the less finance racers and as a result the racers with the most money always won (just like Pro Stock is Now and Pro Stock is in trouble and most likely will be changed in some form next year ) Stock and Super Stock racing in it present form is not broken it is working for the majority of the racers .

FYI There is Heads up racing now if two cars in the same class run each ,there is no break out works just fine :D

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

Keep this kind of stuff out of my Shootout. This is a fun deal for us and yes it will be heads up racing. I just thought it would be fun for us small block racers to get together from all over the country and see what everyone has. No more no less.

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

Wow! Tough crowd.

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

Bullet camshafts will award a 100.00 gift certificate to the winner of the SS/K Stickshift Shootout. Thanks again to John Partridge for being a supporter.

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

Still working to get more support for this race. Still waiting to hear from Jerico,Liberty and G Force. Since it's a stick shift race I was hoping to get them on board. Ed

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

Dangit, Ed, I just expanded the flyer to 11x17 and can barely cram all of the sponsors in there! :p Best problem to have, ever! No worries, whatever you send me, I'll make it work!

Updated event flyer at: http://looserocker.com/?page_id=27

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

Got a call from Steve Koch today. He is going to try to make the SS/K Shootout with his 85 Camaro 305 5 speed. Sounds great to me.

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

Ed, your making me want to put a stick and some weight in my car. Looks like you guys are going to have a blast.

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

Do it Ed!

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

Don't do it Ed! It will be like the first time you got laid. You will chase that thing for the rest of your life.

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

I remember what it was like. My worn out old body is killing me right now. If I get that thing back in the car, I'm leaving it alone. This crap used to be a lot easier. LOL

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

John don't be like that!

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

I was just kidding. A stick car is way more fun. Way more work too.

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

I know they are more fun to drive. I'm just not up to the maintenance any more. You guys are in better shape than I. This was the last time this engine is coming out as far as I'm concerned. Just honed it, touched up the valves and put new springs on it. The car is still for sale.

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

That is pretty neat Joe, you should make a few of them up for the end of the year top qualifers. Somebody would be proud to have one of them hanging from there shop wall. Tom

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

already doing it Tom, I use to give them out at the end of the year

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

Hey Ed, you have a spare tranny and clutch you can loan me? Lol. It would be worth the price of a ticket to hear a pair of 283's on the starting line! Great job putting it together.
