Now working on contingency awards. Thanks to Militia Cams (Westcott)and Ray Barton Engines for helping the pot. Hopefully more will follow. Hope to have a 16 car field as a few will migrate over from Gators. Still looking for a cook!

Looks like 14 for sure. Hemi guys, be sure and say Chootout and you will get one tech card. If you want to run the SS eliminator you will need a different card. I think that is how it works. Thanks

Looks like Westcott Sr. has been holding a tenth all day and he needed it here because Pancake had a huge starting line advantage and made a good run, but the senior Westcott still ran him down to win "the Chootout." Charlie Westcott's MOV: 0.0180 seconds (approximately 4 feet).
