Heads-up racing separates Stock and Super Stock racing from bracket racing. Lucas Oil Class Eliminations takes center stage on Friday of the 2nd Annual Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals, featuring heads-up racing among each individual class within a category. Each class winner will receive an Iron Tree Trophy, Class Win Decal, Lucas Oil Product, AFIS Ignition Wire Set, California Water Blade, and those winners who use the product and decals for *both* ATI Transmission *and* ATI Torque Converter will be eligible for $50 Contingency.

Last year, there were 93 different Lucas Oil Class Eliminations winners! Check out every one of them at http://www.looserocker.com/wp-conten...SS_WINNERS.pdf

There's still tons of work to do and a whole 'nuther page to do for the event flyer, but figured I'd throw this work-in-progress flyer out here for now...

Spectator pass pricing info?

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

$15/day. There will likely be some $5-off discount coupon flyers available at some area stores leading up to the event, as we did last year with Summit, Jegs, and Faslube.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

REMINDER: NHRA license and chassis cert is required for all 9.99-quicker entries.

For our Carolina friends, if you're going to Rockingham this weekend, you can likely get it done there. For anyone else in need, please check with your NHRA Division office.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

3 days for 45 bucks was a great bargain for what we got last year! If you didn't go last year, by all means go this year, we had a blast,, not to mention, the classracer.com family members we met last year. I wish I could make it back, but can't this time around.
Danny Durham

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Danny Durham is 100% correct; $45 for 3 days of great Stock and Super Stock racing is the best bargain that you will find anywhere. My wife and I attended last year and we had a blast; and met many of my Class Racer brethren, including Danny. I will definitely be back this year bright and early on Friday August 21.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

My middle name is John so close enough:D. If we get some good air that weekend looking forward to defending my title. Last year was not what i was expecting the car to do, but I think I have the setup figured out now. Very much looking forward to the Auto Meter Class Northern Class Nationals.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I know better! Dangers of multi-tasking.... ;-) Corrected! Thanks for your support and the "air show"! :-) We'll see what people have in August vs the unseasonably cold May weekend we had last year!

The racing community was deeply saddened at the loss of Super Stock racer Dave Layer of Heads-Up Cylinder Heads last year. Dave was the go-to guy for go-fast cylinder head work, and he was a big supporter of last year's race. Not only that, but he could drive, too, finishing in the Top 10 in NHRA Div. 3. With the family's blessing, we will honor and remember him in the most fitting way: showcasing the go-fast elite of S/SS racing with the Dave Layer Memorial Quick 32 CIC Shootout.

The race will feature the Friday's Top 16 Qualifiers in both Stock and Super Stock, and pit them in a Competition Eliminator-style battle royale: Sportsman ladder, .500 Full Tree handicapped off their respective Index, but the first to the finish wins!

Loose Rocker welcomes back presenting sponsors Comp Cams and Legacy HVAC/Carrier (If you're in the Louisville, KY area, call Super Stock racer Matt Alvey first for your heating and air conditioning solutions!), and new this year is the addition of Stock racer MJ Quinn's Derby City Covers. They make The Classic Coverall -- much more than a fender cover. As the name implies, these custom-fitted one-piece covers protect both fenders *and* the nose of the car, perfect for those trips to the teardown barn! The two finalists will both receive a Classic Coverall. (and an invite to the barn...?)

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...eb&oe=5612E350
Derby City Covers make more than just complete front end wraparound fender covers. Just this weekend I've seen tire covers for trailer-wall mounted spares, and these gorgeous rollbar covers.

As the absolute leader in valve train technology, Comp Cams needs no introduction, but you can find all the pieces-parts you need at www.compcams.com. While you're there, check out Comp's sister companies as well. One of those is FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology) who will also be supporting the racers once again with gift certificates.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Good luck to all that attend. I will not be making the trip this year. Several asked if I was doing the K Shootout again. I had major back surgery in May(rods,plates and screws) so I'm unable to drive until next year. If there is a class nationals III ill see about another Shootout. Have fun and stay cool....

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Sorry to hear that Ed. It was great meeting you last year and watching your high winding Chevy II. I hope that you have a speedy and complete recovery!

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Michael, I think Mr. Paul that manages Memphis International Raceway would work with you on an event like this. I would love to see a more centralized location for this event.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I appreciate that, but we need a substantial car count to cover the strong payouts and all of the extras we do. We are currently in a fairly central location per capita. We'll have to see how we do this year and next with different schedules within this strong draw area. I like Memphis, but unfortunately, even in its NHRA National Event days, they did not drawn the cars necessary to support this kind of event. It would take a serious commitment from the racers.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I understand. Bowling Green would be a nice place to have it too.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Looked into it last year. Prohibitively expensive.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

IHRA Cars are shunned at Bowling Green for their other S/SS combo races.
No reason to go where you are aren't welcomed especially when you are the paying customer.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

That is irrelevant to an independent event put on by an outside promoter. We set the class rules. Our concerns are location, facility and staff, scheduling, weather, and cost.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

...I know its really not...just pointing out a fact.
I am pretty sure your events will be successful most any where you would decide to have one.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

We are just over two weeks away! Here's something to get your blood pumping, from last year's race courtesy of our videographer, Rob Jackson of RobzNeed4Speed Videos:

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

How late are the gates open on Friday night?

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

11pm

I think the Test and Tune Highlights from last year is more blood pumping! Enjoy and we'll see you at the 2nd Annual Class Nationals!

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

We plan to participate, again this year, in this great event. Thanks for all you do to make this race a success. I'll apologize in advance for the dumb question of the day but will VP fuel be available during the event?

Here's the print I'll be awarding to the winner of the S/SS Combo! Can't wait -- this race is going to be a blast, just like last year!

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Dallas, it's great to know that you will be there again; I look forward to seeing you bright and early on Friday Aug. 21.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

No on VP. I am waiting to hear back from Bazell Race Fuels to see if they will have the Sunoco truck there like at the LODRS event. (Worst case scenario, if not, the track carries Sunoco 110, 112, and 116)

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

God willing. We have a test day prior so if we have enough pieces left we'll be there. You and the Mrs. have a safe journey and we look forward to Friday.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Thanks Michael. That helps planning greatly.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

The Mrs. won't be with me this year. She's afraid that it may be too hot; so I'm flying solo this year.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I understand. We all know that heat wasn't a problem last year. LOL

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Gonna be there Fri 21st
