Class Nationals event planning

[Michael Beard]

Don't forget to keep tabs on the dedicated SS/K Shootout thread for updates, as Ed Carpenter has been hard at work adding sponsors for his class! http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=48910

Remember that anyone can put together sponsors for a Class, and we will advertise for those sponsors. We could still use some help with covering the Quick 32 purses. Sloan Racing Engines, Heads-Up Cylinder Heads, Whitaker Racing Engines and Carrier (Legacy HVAC/Matt Alvery) and of course our Quick 32's sponsor Quick Fuel Technologies have been awesome. If support for the Quick 32's exceeds the posted guaranteed purses, we'll add to the purse! This is THE performance showcase -- what other engine builders will step up with a few bucks and claim bragging rights?

Folks, with even a low estimate of our projected car count, the total cash purse, prizes, and contingency postings are now over $93,000!

Stephen Johnson, I happen to have played the Bagpipes for years. Just laughing at the possibility of a group of racers sitting around playing guitars, violins, and tamborines. I guess if we did it growing up when the folk singing was big who cares...

I'm bringing head phones and plenty of headache pills, lol

Guys also remember if you run 9.99 or faster your required to have a NHRA driver license. Don't want you to be blind sided before you get there.

That's correct. We put that information out there early summer of last year, and it's been noted on the event flyer from day 1, along with a link to www.nhraracer.com - click on Competition Number Applications" for IHRA License Transfers.

NHRA HP Ratings wherever possible. (obviously the IHRA-specific classes like Crate Motor, Pure Stock, etc will use IHRA specs)

Add .30 to your current NHRA index. - which puts the 99% of the indexes back to where they were several years ago, matching the IHRA indexes. Crate Motors subtract .10. EFI, Trucks, FWD cars run in the NHRA classes. "New Factory Racecars" (COPO, DragPak, Cobra Jet), will utilize their regular weight breaks and HP factors, but will be separated from "traditional" Stockers by adding an "FX" designation in front of their regular class.

Also since Mike is giving me a big Stetson hat, a badge and a gun, he has elected to give me the final word for teardown

Hey, at least he forgot to demand AMMUNITION! Alex will be armed solely with his sharp wit. If you can outrun his scooter (on foot) in a best 2 out of 3, any DQ's will be considered null and void.

tried to DQ Dave young at Indy for having too wide a tire thought that you still had to run 7 inch tires in the late 90's true story

Which part of the story is true? Oh, maybe Dave *was* still racing back in the late '90s. ;-)

Man! I don't even have 7" tires on the Turismo anymore! Now that would make things interesting.
