Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II

[Michael Beard]

2014 NitroPlate S/SS Combo Warmup Champion Robert Becker

On Saturday of Loose Rocker's 2nd Annual Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals, we'll have the final two rounds of qualifying, with two in the puddle doing burnouts at 9:00 AM sharp. The last qualifying session will feature the wheelstand contest, with $100 cash going out to the Best Wheelstand in Stock presented by IHM Used Parts (888-619-2593 www.ihmusedparts.com) as well as the Best Wheelstand in Super Stock presented by Jewell Computing Solutions (908-213-6810 www.jewellcomputing.com) Last year's wheelstand champs were John Duzac and Jeremy Stock.








Following qualifying, we will have the optional NitroPlate S/SS Combo Warmup race, with a Racer Appreciation Party Saturday evening presented by South Racing.



New this year, James Russell (part of the Russell Perofrmance clan) of Drag-Ons Custom Order Racecar Art will award the winner of the S/SS Combo Warmup with free artwork of his or her winning ride! Check out more of his work at www.facebook.com/raceprints

My middle name is John so close enough. If we get some good air that weekend looking forward to defending my title. Last year was not what i was expecting the car to do, but I think I have the setup figured out now. Very much looking forward to the Auto Meter Class Northern Class Nationals.

I know better! Dangers of multi-tasking.... ;-) Corrected! Thanks for your support and the "air show"! :-) We'll see what people have in August vs the unseasonably cold May weekend we had last year!

Grandpa's Garage is posting $100 to the winner of the largest Super Stock field in Friday's Lucas Oil Class Eliminations. (in the event that there is a tie between class sizes, the award will go to the older driver -- a nod to last year's Geezer Award!)

The racing community was deeply saddened at the loss of Super Stock racer Dave Layer of Heads-Up Cylinder Heads last year. Dave was the go-to guy for go-fast cylinder head work, and he was a big supporter of last year's race. Not only that, but he could drive, too, finishing in the Top 10 in NHRA Div. 3. With the family's blessing, we will honor and remember him in the most fitting way: showcasing the go-fast elite of S/SS racing with the Dave Layer Memorial Quick 32 CIC Shootout.

The race will feature the Friday's Top 16 Qualifiers in both Stock and Super Stock, and pit them in a Competition Eliminator-style battle royale: Sportsman ladder, .500 Full Tree handicapped off their respective Index, but the first to the finish wins!

Loose Rocker welcomes back presenting sponsors Comp Cams and Legacy HVAC/Carrier (If you're in the Louisville, KY area, call Super Stock racer Matt Alvey first for your heating and air conditioning solutions!), and new this year is the addition of Stock racer MJ Quinn's Derby City Covers. They make The Classic Coverall -- much more than a fender cover. As the name implies, these custom-fitted one-piece covers protect both fenders *and* the nose of the car, perfect for those trips to the teardown barn! The two finalists will both receive a Classic Coverall. (and an invite to the barn...?)


Derby City Covers make more than just complete front end wraparound fender covers. Just this weekend I've seen tire covers for trailer-wall mounted spares, and these gorgeous rollbar covers.

As the absolute leader in valve train technology, Comp Cams needs no introduction, but you can find all the pieces-parts you need at www.compcams.com. While you're there, check out Comp's sister companies as well. One of those is FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology) who will also be supporting the racers once again with gift certificates.

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!
