When they are running class for $10,000, and being paid down to the quarter finals, do you think these competitors will care if they qualify in the top 128? $10,000 is more money than you’ll win in the eliminator.

Also a good question. Pulling and adding that much weight is not easy for some racers.

Pulling/adding weight should be the least of someone’s worries when racing for 10k, no?

No, I suppose not. There is a difference between weight box weight and permanent/tac welded on weight.

To be clear, I think this will be an awesome event! These special shootout races are a lot of fun, and I hope they get a big turnout for it! I was just thinking out loud...

I am running a zl1 Camaro stick car my minimum weight is 3505 would the weight remain the same for the shootout ?

Re: $10,000 AA/S SHOOTOUT at 2024 US NATIONALS

No if you are running the zl1 you will have to be #3730.

Mr. Bomar, in order to participate in the shootout your car cannot weight less than 3710(20#'s under your A/S minimum).

In order to create a level playing field, cars participating in the AA/S Shootout will need to adhere to their Shootout minimum weight sticker on every run.

If you are concerned about qualifying for the eliminator, you can run A/S or AA/S at your minimum weight and not participate. The general population of participants would not be able to get to minimum AA/S weight. If competitors could get close to minimum weight it would most likely require the removal of the majority of ballast in their cars. This would not be conducive for setting up the cars to the marginal track conditions we have seen the last few years at Indy.

Again, this shootout is for those who want to participate and given the feedback from the racers at Indy over the past couple years, this platform has been well received. Tnx
