Gonna be there Fri 21st

We will have the Loose Rocker Cooling Station in the staging lanes... 10'x'10' canopy with a couple of giant coolers stocked with bottled water! We'll take care of you.

Might not be that bad... it's typically low 80's that weekend. Any bit of breeze or a little cloud cover should make it a pretty nice weekend for racing. It was surprisingly nice in Michigan this weekend. High of 81, but it barely hit that. (And before we even get to that point, don't even bother with long-range forecasts, because they are complete garbage. They don't even start to come close until about 3 days out.)


As racers, we know that there's only one winner in your class. Sometimes you lay down an incredible run and somehow you managed to line up with that one guy that was able to get inside that package. This year, while we still have contingency postings and bonuses available to our finalists, we're going to spread things around a little bit and take a cue from our big money bracket races with Best Losing Package Round Prizes. We did one last year, with Bill Bagley of Bagley Tractor & Equipment in Longview, Texas awarding an incredible Honda generator to John Dinkel, who had the best losing package of Rnd 2 in Stock. You couldn't wipe the grin off his face: "I've never won so much for losing!" I saw John at US131 this weekend, and he said he's been making good use of it, and not just at the race track.

With help from our great sponsors, there will be more opportunities to win great prizes without winning the entire event. Among them are:


Mickey Thompson Tires continues its long tradition of supporting Loose Rocker Promotions customers with several $250 Gift Certificates.


Tom Russell of Russell Performance in East Sparta, OH will be posting multiple awards: $100 cash prizes in both Stock and Super Stock, and $150 Russell Performance Gift Certificates in both classes as well. You can make good use of these, as Russell literally does just about everything: he did the rear disc brake swap on my car, and when I broke a u-joint, he quickly replaced or fixed every bit of collateral damage -- u-joint, driveshaft, 4-link diagonal bar, sprag in the trans... one-stop shopping! Russell has also built over 20 complete race cars. Give him a holler and see what he can do for you!


25%-Off Gift Certificates

I was out at the track for the Mopar Nats this last weekend. Gathering parts for my TA Challenger future C,D/S. It was hot and humid. But my sunburn should be better in 2 weeks and I will be back at the track. Can't wait. This drag racing is an incurable disease. I should have never gone to Pomona or Mopars at the Strip.

Another one of our Best Losing Package Round Prizes comes from another long-time supporter, Flatout Gaskets, awarding a $100 Gift Certificate in both Stock and Super Stock during Sunday's Main Event.

I am really looking forward to being able to attend this years Class Nationals at National Trails Raceway. Hope to get to meet many of the racers personally who have shared ideas on Class racing on this site.
