Who is going to the Dutch Classic?

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

Nitro Lounge is staying home; just cant justified spending $600 in gas to watch a race, don’t care how good it is.

Hemi Shootout will be a ok race, but if nobody finds a tenth or more its a 2 horse race out of same stable.
(might be last NHRA Hemi Shootout also rumor has it)

There were 21 cars last year for the Shootout; hopefully there will be, at least, close to that many this year. If Bucky Hess has his "good" engine; he may be able to get to within .05 or .06 of the Westcotts but other than that, as you say, it's a 2 horse race. After the Sportsnationals at Columbus, Charlie Sr. said that he and Jr. were going to Maple Grove to set the record. I believe that the quickest SS/AH run ever is 8.46 by Bucky Hess a couple of years ago; if the air conditions are typical for late Oct. in Pennsylvania, both Westcotts should run quicker than that, and Charlie Sr. might run 160 mph!
