Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

It is a beautiful day here at National Trails! The sun is shining! It is 56 now, heading up to 67 later this afternoon. It is not calling for any rain until just 20% past 4 pm. So we are getting ready for hopefully a long day of racing!

I have a few more pics from yesterday to post along the day.

If you are here and get hungry, come by for some birthday cake compliments of Ken and Class Racer and Larry. We still have 1 left and probably some of the spectators had gone by the time we were eating it. So you know where we are. Come on by!!

Not as good as being there or watching the MotorMania feed, but here is the results from the NTR website

Thanks to everyone that attended or showed their support to this great event. We here at NTR were honored to host this fantastic event.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

I have a ton off pictures to post, but won't be able to until tomorrow or the next day. Have a lot of great wheelstands, thanks to Micheal letting me take from the track. It was a bucket list thing for me, so I will share with everyone later.
I'll probably post here or under my name. Butch8908.
Thanks again Michael.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

What class is SS/PEA-1 ?

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

IHRA Super Stock Production/E Automatic four-barrel. Kinda like Modified but with more rules. Pete runs SS/CM in NHRA.


Congrats also to Stock Runner-Up Bill Sempsrott, who made in all-stick final. Bill laid down a .004 package early in eliminations!

Congrats to Brad Zaskowski for the Super Stock R/U, making it 3 stick cars out of the two finals!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Thank You Michael For putting on a great event. Also your staff and all the people that worked the race did a great job.The starting line crew worked there butts off, I could see that on TV. Once again thanks for a great Event.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

IHRA's version of comp cars in SS only they can run 2 barrel single 4 or multiple carbs aftermarket heads and aluminum rods, the original intent was to use left over NASCAR parts which are plentiful and somewhat cheap down south and have a economical way to run SS like crate motor started out in stock we refer to them as alphabet cars due to their long and confusing class designations any factory available bore and stroke combo is allowed, from there it's induction and cubes to weigh like comp. oh and they are also allowed to run those silly oversize hood scoops kind of a cross between old MP cars and door comp cars

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

thanks for explaining Alex. I watched this racing for hours yesterday and today. I wondered what the insignias if the car meant PDA. Way cool, lets you imagine up some cool combos.
Big fan since before your race which I own a copy of on tape, need a dvd.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

A great event is finally "in the books". Didn't even have an oildown until today,,,too bad about the crash,, glad Tyler is okay. Thanks to Redman for his "camera expertise" this afternoon, and especially to Michael and Anthony for pulling this off as well as they did. Thank you to everyone who showed us wonderful hospitality,,even those who made fun of my wearing shorts and my Seahawks hat. I'll post more after getting home, but we've got a very early flight in the morning, so a quick dinner and hit the hotel for the night. It was great seeing all, my two friends had a great time here also, and are ready to do it again some day. I hope it happens.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

I've been following Class Racer for years now, but this is my first post. I just wanted to personally thank Michael Beard, Anthony Walton, Nitro Joe, Redman, and everyone else who made this one of the coolest, most enjoyable events that I've ever experienced. And my thoughts are echoed by my Grandfather and Uncle, and pretty much everyone I've talked to. The competition was great, the track prep was A+, the food was amazing... I could go on and on. I really hope that another class nationals is in the cars for next year, and I hope that folks who didn't attend this year (for whatever reason) will realize how important it is to keep these events supported and ensure their survival. Once again, stellar job, guys.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Super Stock Production "E" Automatic with single four barrel. -2 would be two barrel.

This class is most like the old AHRA formula stock. Must be corporate block heads etc. In my opinion the closest thing in NHRA is Modified Stock. SS/AS, SS/BS, SS/CS.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

What an extrememly cool event! I watched online when I could on Friday and Saturday morning, as I was out and about doing stuff with my mom and my daughter. I drove down Saturday late afternoon and got to Trails around 7:30pm, jst in time to eat and catch the last few rounds of the combo. Slept at the track in my car, cuz I'm old school like that. Sunday was a beautiful (but windy) day, and I had a great time checking out the incredible variety of cars, which is one of the reasons I've always loved Stock and Super Stock. Thanks to announcer Mike Bassin(?) for giving me a couple of turn on the mic, I had a GREAT time! If yo missed this race, you should truly feel regretful!
PS, I thought Mike "Buffdaddy" Car would be taller. :D

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Thanks Ron, for your great job of announcing at the race. Thanks to Michael and his crew for there dedicated efforts to put on such a great event! Thanks to Nitro Joe for all his hard work, he worked his butt off, getting the ladders and getting cars paired up. I hope Michael can do this again! Congrats to Charlie Downing on his win in stock!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

What a great event! Had a great time announcing the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals. Great racing in all the categories, class run offs, CIC, Junior Stock, S/SS combo SS/K, and Stock and Super Stock main events. Michael and Jill and Anthony and Stacey did an outstanding job of organizing and running the event. National Trail Raceway management and staff were great to work with and were fine hosts. Loads of good sponsors helped make the event top shelf also. I hope everyone enjoyed the event as much as I did. Lastly, how about the hard work, dedication and love of the sport shown by "Nitro Joe" Jackson, he is Class Racing!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Congrats to Mike Beard and crew on a job well done! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it...
Hopefully they'll be another one....soon!

Anybody got info on total Stock...(and Super Stock) entries? Biggest classes...in both
Stock and SS?

Is there a list of class winners (and runner-ups) somewhere...with times on the class
run-off run???
