CIC Race at Sportnational Events......

Wade_Owens · 11-23-2010, 02:29 PM

What would it take to ask NHRA Directors if we could include a CIC style of showdown, just like Pat's, at the other Sportsnationals? Maybe even include the Sports at Bowling Green. Same format, must win your class to get in, Stock vs Stock, SS vs SS until down to 8 or 16. I'm sure it wouldnt be hard to come up with a CIC money fund or some associate sponsors for this. What did it take to get the Top Stock classes in the events?

Guys, if you are performance driven, and think this may be fun. Lets try to work together and present it to the Division directors. 4 or 5 all out races a year would be awesome!

What do you guys think?

Wade Pat does this at the Sportsnats at No problem. Ed

The lack of responses here confuses me. I thought this would be something people would be interested in.

I'm with Monahan, I'm going to "sign off" on all performance topics.......

See you guys in the spring....

I would love to have more of these at other races. The CIC race is one of the reasons I'm currently trying to talk my dad into going to No Problem next spring.

You know I'm a player. We were anticipating a showdown at No Problem last year, but the weather had other plans. Course yall know Pat. He may come up with something more exciting.

james schaechter · 11-23-2010, 10:20 PM

Not sure if Pat finalized it,but I thought he was going to do it Thursday in 2011. Instead of class winners, anyone could enter and take a swing at it. At least that way, there would be less of a chance that weather would get in the way.

I am sure he will post details when finalized. Sounded like it had merit.

I used to really like going to Florida for the Gville points, orlando Gators deal, but the schedule got so jacked up and the enhancements kicked in for the Gators. It just didn't make sense to go there any longer.

Pat rolls out the Red carpet for sportsmen too.

Can ya run with the Mustangs & DPs when there is no break out, Wade? Might be a little less interest with the bogus cars involved.

Jeff Teuton · 11-23-2010, 10:23 PM

Might be more interest. A couple years ago Shaws Caddy ran 2.0 under, but with the cic he didn't win the race. I think. I have been wrong before.
