Two weekends that look pretty decent would be July 19-20, and Sept 13-14. As far as where, a location in the Midwest (Ohio in particular) would be a great draw to many of the good "slower" Stockers. I could talk to the people at Quaker City Raceway in Ohio about doing an event, possibly in conjunction with a traditional S/SS combo.

What I had proposed was an event run under Competition Eliminator-style rules. Handicapped off the Indexes, no breakout, CIC at (perhaps) -1.15 under, on a one-to-one ratio.

Eligible classes of cars would be Q-S-W/S; Q/SA-W/SA; AF/S-EF/S; SS/GS; and G/PS-I/PS, cars and trucks that are IHRA and NHRA Stock Eliminator-legal (excluding SS/GS).

Since Pinks had the "briliant" statement to the effect of "12.99 and quicker cars only. If it takes more than 13 seconds to get down the track, we don't want it". Nice. Not all us can afford to, or want to, build an 8-9-10 second car. A lot of us have fun with slower cars.

Any thoughts on any of the above ideas?

Well, if they don't want any cars slower than 13.0, that will eliminate all of the FWD classes except for A/FS. I don't think there's anyone in B running 12's.

Or was that statement for the "normal" Pinks All-Out shows?

Rob, that was their statement in the registration on Norwalk's site for the Pink's All-Out. I thought it was a pretty lousy statement to make. I figure if they don't want us, we don't need them....we could do just fine on our own.
