Make it one, we have plans to bring a Drag Pak as well.

It looks like both classes will have some interesting match ups!

I have heard a lot of chatter about last minute engine thrashes and dyno sessions.

No doubt, we will have some excellent heads up action for the Challenge Races!

Let's not forget that we have some excellent support here! Please review the sponsors and contributors!

I will be looking for Challenge members on Wednesday!

I will have some goody bags and contingency stickers if needed.

If you are competing in the challenge races you can e mail me at jimschaechter@earthlink.net and give me your cell or directions to your pit area, description of car, etc. You can call me on my cell also 563-505-0293.

I will be helping my brother with his car so I may not be cruising until after the second stock qualfier.

Also, we will be meeting at Jeff Teuton's pit on Friday after stock teardown to award the winner and runner ups, so stay tuned there.

As I mentioned before. This would not be possible without excellent racer and vendor support. A special THANK YOU to Ken Miele and ClassRacer.com! We could never pull this off without the power of the internet and a great web site!

Make sure to know who is supporting heads up class racing and support them back!

Thanks! Jim

I have it on good authority that NHRA will ladder all classes in Stock and Superstock this year. We'll keep you posted.

Troy Henderson · 08-26-2011, 04:13 PM

6 25 A/S Kevin Helms, Schriever LA, '10 Challenger 9.996 10.95 -0.954

Hmmm, I wonder who's looking like a favorite this year?

Nitro Joe Jackson · 08-26-2011, 04:31 PM

ladders will be per NHRA so this will be a good thing cause if there is any no shows at all that racer paired up with the no show will receive a broken single

Troy Henderson brought up the idea of a traveling trophy for A stick and I think it is a great idea! I won't have it done for this year, bur Nick at Long Shifters gave me a great start! It is appropriate in that it is a Long Pistol Grip Stick!

I was wondering if anyone has a connection to a trophy shop or carpenter metal fab who could donate some product or skills to build a base and help out? It needs to be large enough to add names to it each year! The winner will hold it for the year and bring it back to keep it or pass it on! Any help would be appreciated!

James, I have an uncle who has a woodworking shop and would make a nice base for the trophy. I can get it done for free and ship it back to you.

I'm glad to see there will be an official ladder produced. It will cut down the BS in the lanes.

I assume the winner will go to teardown? And seal up the runner-up just in case? Has anyone mentioned this yet?

Well, Since this is an unoffical sportsman supported race, I don't have input over teardowns.

That being said. Each year, the winner of the A Stick Challenge has been in the Barn.

Coincidence? Maybe, but as usual, it is Indy. Bring Gaskets! LOL.
