D2 races to include 3 Unleashed classes

[Ed Wright]

I may put my no-e bracket engine back in mine and run the un-leashed race here at Tulsa this year if I have time. Have to dial it back a tad to run ten flat.

It was 1/4 mile when I last raced there, at the Sports Nationals in like '78 or so. Only place I've raced that had covered spectator bleachers, other than Tulsa. Tulsa's are no longer covered. Guess I missed what Art was refering to. LOL

Gezzzz Ed.....I raced there in SS/IA with a red 68 Camaro in 1978. I was runner up to Phil Hardee for class after 3 rounds I think. You should have said hello.....LOL.

I lost the clutch in my C/SM Camaro first round. Should have stayed home. :-)

Damn...you lost a clutch and I lost the class final. I still had fun and only class winners ran the eliminator on Sunday back then.

Perfect location for the 2nd US Class Nationals - probably should hold it the same weekend as Indy! LOL

Ed, we run 1/4 mile at the Bowling Green combos. There is a regular qualifying sheet and ladder, as well as the chance to run heads up if the sheet works out that way. The racers pretty much police themselves, with help from the track. There are scales, and they are used. There are plenty of really fast cars, and racers who know if there's anything "hinky" about a run.

There's everything from a V/SA Chevy II to a SS/B Corvette. Plenty of Mopar and Ford racers, too, all with fast cars and good drivers. Record holders, as well as divisional and national champions are found in the pits regularly. Win a Bowling Green combo, and you're a serious contender anywhere.

The track is good, the entry fee is cheap, the staff and the racers are friendly, and the food is decent and fairly priced.

The Saturday races are run with qualifying in the afternoon and the eliminations evening, the Sunday races start earlier.

There is often a test and tune going on, as well as a bracket program. For 2011, a Super Gas program is almost certain to run with the combo as well.

Are there anyone else here that might consider running one of these index classes either at the "UnGlued" races or a Div. 2 points race?

If they held the index classes on say sat only and the S/SS on Sunday I would run my stocker in the 12.0 class. But other than that no I would not run. I have another question since people could run one car in two different classes. I would like to see NHRA police a S/ST or S/G car running in there respected class with the delays and T-stops then idle back to the staging lanes and run the 10.0 or 11.0 class with NO ELECTRONICS..This should be interesting. Next thing they will let some things slide in so cars could run both classes. We will see.
