Can I get an AMEN !!!!! .....Why have Heads Up ? ....Because the THREE promoters of this race have decided to. Without Heads Up runs, this is a (. ) race featuring class cars....

I was informed that there will be 2 Tech People at the event. Teardowns are possible.

I am all for the heads up runs. If I go I will be a sitting duck in H and I or J is a def NO lol. My concern was a car coming that nobody knows around here or no record of it running an NHRA race and that car winning a heads up run. For the most part everyone around here knows fairly close to what someone can run. So if a car that goes to a Div race before this race and runs 3 tenths under but comes to this race and wins a heads up run going 1 sec+ under....I would be VERY suspicious, just saying. Saying that, I do think At minimum Jason knows what he is doing. None of my joke comments were aimed at the Race or the Promoters, mostly just making it public knowledge to prevent someone from doing said offense. If things like this are widely talked about it will help alot of what is hurting Stock Eliminator future participation.

From my understanding , they will be heads up, tear downs and fuel check.
Be cool if a qualifying sheet wasn't posted so racers can't play the ladder game. Just one qualifying hit and race, place ladder up.

Just found out IHRA cars will be allowed to enter. A sportsman ladder will be used. Two qualifying runs Friday, the next two days will be one qualifying run.

Nice! Do you know what index’s are going to be used, since there is a big difference between the two.

Great question, I do not know. Maybe someone else has the answer.

I think I saw on Facebook that if you run NHRA you have to use the class and index for the NHRA class. You can’t change your class if you are an NHRA racer.
