Well, I'll be out there with SOMETHING but I don't know if it will be a U car or if it will even be driving the rear wheels. I guess that I could bring the 1K car but that would be like bringing a bag of marshmellows to a gunfight. And then there's that whole "integrity" thing. I wouldn't want to go destroying the "integrity" of Stock Eliminator now would I? Of course I could just title and tag it and drive it out there because, ya know, it is a real car with a real VIN but that's another type of "integrity" now, isn't it?

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

This is an independent event. Bags of marshmallows are required (those toasted coconut ones would be AWESOME!), and any gunfights will be solely administered by Grand Marshall Denysenko. Anyone displaying integrity will be flogged.

And if you can get the line lock to work on the Turismo, that would be great! I've had trouble wearing out the tires.

Remember, following Lucas Oil Class Eliminations, there will also be a Junior Stock Shootout, sponsored by Hammerhead and the Buckeye S/SS Series. No additional entry fee, open to any car in K/S (K/SA) or slower classes. (includes D/PS-slower, S/GTF-slower, and FWD cars)

Jack, Don't let Billy give you the run around here.
He's got what's probably the second or third best combo for U/SA waiting in the wings..

He just needs some encouragement from us..
C'mon Billy...NO AHFS!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

There is going to be more than one surprise in U/SA.
It will be very interesting!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Bad thing is, it's gonna take 12's to be a player. My car (if it's ready and done by then) won't be there, yet. Timing will be the issue with our car. Do we have to pre-enter or can we pay at the gate? If we show, somebody is probably guaranteed a 1st rd win in class, imagine we'll be the slowest car there.

Tod made a comment to me the other nite though. If all these Fords show up. Shaw's Caddy made an appearance. Jack's Wagon, Billy's 1K car. Add a PU or two, plus whatever other combinations show. U/SA eliminator will look like a "Buy Here, Pay Here" car lot! On top of that could be the class with the most entries. Be like running class was 35-40 some years ago.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

What truck can still run in U?

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Maybe I spoke out of turn. Have all the trucks been factored out? Still ought to be an interesting mix of cars.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

There are several good ones

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I`m sure there are.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I would be worrying about cars though. I see some 11 second potential

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Buy here Pay here! That's funny right there!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

WOW!!! That`s impressive!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

lol!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

No pre-entry. Pay at the gate. Buy here, pay here. ;-)

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

if you run in the 11's (and pass technical inspection) i'll double my $100 to win...

and mr wong...was that your 273 little car got HP off for christmas ??? gonna tow it with the truck so you can be #1 & #2 >>> LOL

i have asked a few more for contingency will let you guys know.

captain jack

mike, qualifying sheet determines junior stock shootout entries correct ? so you could run in the U/SA shootout and if fast enough be in the junior shootout too ???????

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Captain Jack, I think there is a new player in the U/SA wars, if this is true and he decides to come to Class Nationals, you better bring your A-game, this guy doesn't bring a knife to a gun fight. J.Gower M/S 3058

Hammerhead / Buckeye S/SS Series JUNIOR STOCK

WHEN
Lucas Oil Class Eliminations will be run to completion before any of the Friday night shootouts. Following Class, the three bonus races (Junior Stock, Quick Fuel Quick 32 Stock, Quick Fuel Quick 32 Super Stock) will take place at the same time, each run in rotation.

WHO
Junior Stock is not a qualified field. It is open to all cars in K/S, K/SA, D/PS, SGT/F and slower classes, and FWD classes. This will probably end up being 30-40 cars. It is free with your regular weekend entry.

HOW
Junior Stock will be run just like a regular eliminator, with the eligible cars placed on a ladder based on the morning's two regular Qualifying runs. Dial-In format with Heads-Up runs in effect as applicable.

Because Junior Stock will be run at the same time as Quick 32's, one car cannot run both. If you qualify for the Quick 32 but would rather run Junior Stock, please notify us of your intentions ASAP so we can generate ladders properly.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I would like to see McCarthy and Nees in the final. Wong will be tough whatever he brings.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Well, not a good one but the 93 f-150 with a 300 six fits U/SA but that's at 190hp! Not sure if I'd want to try that one. I had that exact truck and stock with 3.08's ran 19's I think it was. Who knows where it was on weight/etc but I'm thinking 4 -5 seconds would be pushing it.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I have a question- maybe this room can help- I am gonna build a 59 el camino with a 305 -310 horse 348 i think it will be a neat stocker- who do I go to for the motor???

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

madcap in lakewood colorado is excellent with chevys...

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

A 348 is not a small block,,,, its Chevy's original W motor,,, older brother of the 409.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

If I recall correctly, at the original US Classnationals, the class with the most entries was G/SA,,, Nitro Joe can probably elaborate. There were also a lot of A & B/SA cars. I'm not sure there will be more than 16 U/SAs, but you never know. It looks like Ed has put together at least 16 cars for the SS/K Shootout. My 2 cents,, see you there.

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I may come if I don't go to atlanta

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

My stock 96 (same basic truck) with the 3.08's and a K&N filter has run a best of 18.20@70 MPH. Getting it to U/SA times would be quite a task (not even sure it would be doable), but it sounds like a fun task! Now that it is wearing out a little bit, I was starting to toy around with the idea of rebuilding it anyways...

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Here here Billy
(yet another reason I like and respect you so muchI would build one of those bogus *** 350 Olds Cadillacs for U/SA, I may have lost a lot physically but I still have my integrity, meanig that I could not bring myself down low enough to that level to run something so obviously under rated and blatantly bogus no offence to the guys running them, but shame on NHRA for allowing it for so long (especially in SS) just like they did with Bob Dennis's bogus non existent 260 4 barrel Olds in U/SA until I finally presented Bruce with a copy of the GM blue print for the actual intake showing it as a DUALJET unit but how many thousands in class and qualifying dollars did that guy rob from other racers until it was finally corrected even after Al Provost and Arlen Fadley told Danny that it was bogus he still did nothing about it ;(

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

I believe that the Seville was put in the guide with the original factory horsepower rating like many other cars were. How is that considered bogus? I sold these cars when they were new and they certainly were not fast!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

Drop it to 155hp like the carb'd one would help, but man, dropping 6 seconds? That's quite a bit, especially when your looking at a 143hp 302 sitting in the corner.... not lazy, but not crazy either! LOL!

Re: who's coming for the U/SA shootout in columbus
 

neither were the 305 GM cars, but look at them now :rolleyes:
