Good luck to all that attend. I will not be making the trip this year. Several asked if I was doing the K Shootout again. I had major back surgery in May(rods,plates and screws) so I'm unable to drive until next year. If there is a class nationals III ill see about another Shootout. Have fun and stay cool....

Sorry to hear that Ed. It was great meeting you last year and watching your high winding Chevy II. I hope that you have a speedy and complete recovery!

Michael, I think Mr. Paul that manages Memphis International Raceway would work with you on an event like this. I would love to see a more centralized location for this event.

I appreciate that, but we need a substantial car count to cover the strong payouts and all of the extras we do. We are currently in a fairly central location per capita. We'll have to see how we do this year and next with different schedules within this strong draw area. I like Memphis, but unfortunately, even in its NHRA National Event days, they did not drawn the cars necessary to support this kind of event. It would take a serious commitment from the racers.

I understand. Bowling Green would be a nice place to have it too.

Looked into it last year. Prohibitively expensive.

IHRA Cars are shunned at Bowling Green for their other S/SS combo races.
No reason to go where you are aren't welcomed especially when you are the paying customer.
