I am looking forward to enjoying the "Show" at a track near me! Joe jr. will have to have a Mopar again, because that Tiger is just to big for a Mustang.

Let the spending begin!!!!!

WHAT, line up side by side and race to the finish line. Man, what a concept. Good job Bret, you know drag racing and this should be a good racing. I think when ADRL gets to Bristol and Z-max you will, as will everyone else, realize how this concept worked for so many years. Everyone remember what you wished for.

At the PRI show ADRL was working that captive audience for three days. NHRA stood at their booth, handed out National Dragster and tried to sell memberships. Almost anywhere you went you saw them with their clip boards talking with anyone that would talk with them about their 2012 season.

Seems like someone had an idea for heads-up, all out racing to the finish line and drew 500+ race car and sold out the track every day they were there. If you raced or attended the races, you know what it was like sitting in the staging lanes and the guy standing on the box in the middle of the track, stirring up the crowd, comparing the rivalry between Ford, Chevy and Mopar. You could hear the noise from the crowd inside the car with the engine running waiting to stage. Only reason that ended was due to conficts with the originator of the concept. Even if you disliked the idea, you might want to keep your ear open because it is coming back.

Congratulation Bret, we don't have a new car to compete but we will be at Z-Max to see this work. I, like you, have been around drag racing all my life and was part of the heads up match race days and I don't think you will see the grandstands empty when these cars pull to the staging lanes. Jeff, make sure that car has the wheels high when the first race is run and represent old style Super Stock proud.

Short Version 3250 V8 Unblown, 3450 V10 Unblown, and 3650 Blown all subject to adjustment, but any adjustment will be with a fine carving knife, not a fire axe. NHRA rules, specs, 9 in tire Stick & Auto same. There have been about 400 of these new cars sold, new ones are getting finished as time and money have permitted. And maybe some SuperCar races at different tracks. I am hoping this grows. We learned plenty from Top Stock, what to do and not do, so I am hoping for longevity, but I do know the pitfalls of Top Stock and SS/AH. Sorta like the old cars of the 60's, and maybe with a new crowd that knows more about computers than heads. Any interest jefft@southlanddodge.com 985-804-6161 cell or business 888-876-1817 leave a message with the receptionist, but tell her it is about racing. More as it unfolds.

They will be racing HEADS UP,but a good driver will take the stripe as little as possible to not show his hand.

Combine a SS/AH HEMI Shootout with one of these shows and the stands will be full.
Can this be the beginning of the salvation for SS/STK?

[Jeff Lee]

I'm assuming no races west of Denver?

[Ed Fernandez]

Will 1/8 mile racing REALLY show the potential of these cars????????????????????

A 100 % heads up race is definetely not The salvation of SS/STk.
