"Live" from the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout by Autometer
 

Well not quite yet!

I will be leaving the compound about 6am in the morning to start the trip up to Numidia Dragway and the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout. This is technically the 3rd year this event has been held up at Numidia as it's an offspring of the Combo in the Hills event that was run by Lee & Brian the past 2 years. I should be at the track about 10am to start set-up. Nitro Joe is probably already there or close by unless one of the cornfield consumed the Nitro Lounge but, he might be able to chime in with some insight and pics once he get's settled in for the night!

I do have to give thanks to all the sponsors who have come on board for this event. A very special Thanks to Kevin Cradduck from Nitroplate & Marc Erickson from Autometer for becoming the title & associate sponsors of this event. Next time when you go to choose a sponsor over the winter to get new parts or upgrade your current combination please look at the 30+ sponsors who came on board for this event. These truly are the Guys & Gals who support Sportsman Racing!

Tomorrow gates will open at 10am till 11pm for parking! Friday Gates open at 8am with the Free Test & Tune starting at 10am till about 2pm. At 12:30 during the test and tune we will run the Micro-Strategies CIC throwdown time shot with 1st round about 1:30pm. With cold temps scheduled for this weekend we are going to try to get as much as we can in on Friday Night with both the CIC Race & Quickfuel Combo race in before the Street Cars start to roll in at 5pm. Saturday Gates open at 8am with racing starting at 9:30am SHARP! Sunday Gates open at 8am if there is enough interest we will add a Stock or Super Stock Gamblers race to the schedule but, we will see how many people want to do this or not.

Well I have a few more items to pack then I will be coming to you live from the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout by Autometer tomorrow morning! Hope to see a lot of racers make it out to this event!

I will arrive Friday morning with my son and driver Bryan as we only have one car together right now. Wouldn't miss this race for anything it doesn't get any better than this. All you racers that bitch and moan about NHRA treating you bad at divisionals etc. and cramming too many classes in one race are missing your chance to put up or shut up.

I'll be heading out Friday morning at first light and should make Numidia, PA (home track of the legendary SS racer, Joe Scott, by the way) by 10:00. Echoing what others have said, this is grass roots class racing at its best. Be there or be square...

Should be arriving at 8 am on Fri. Looking forward to announcing this event again this year. This is a truly great independent race that all can participate in and enjoy, can't wait to see old friends and meet new ones too. Again, like last year, come visit in the tower and even try some announcing. Great track and cooler temps should have everyone real fast also. See you tomorrow!

Rob and his crew have worked very hard to put this event together. It is an outstanding format for sportsman racers and I hope it is a huge success. We at NitroPlate are thrilled to be able to provide a little support. Thank you Rob for taking the baton from Lee and Brian and working so hard to make this event even bigger and better.

Looks like the weather is going to be exceptional. Wish I could be there with my trusty stocker but just not able to get away. Please keep the updates and some pictures coming. I'll have to be living vicariously through all of you this weekend:)
