Hemi Shootout at The Dutch Classic
 

Fellow SS/AH Racers and Fans,

I was asked several times by fellow SS/AH racers and fans if there was going to be a Hemi Shootout at the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic. So, this past weekend, I spoke with the Division director to get some insight on the event details.

After speaking with the Director, there WILL be a Hemi Shootout at The Dutch Classic the weekend of September 28-30. The race will be sponsored by Penske Truck Leasing. We thank Penske for their continued support of the Hemi Shootout and encourage anyone who has an SS/AH car, to try to make the trip out to the Dutch Classic. It's a great time of year and can sometimes be conducive for national records to be set! A big turn out would be a great way to show our appreciation and thanks to Penske for continuing to support these magnificent 1968 Dodge Darts and Plymouth Barracudas!!

Thank you everyone and I hope to see you all at the Dutch!!

What day is the actual shootout taking place ?

Re: Hemi Shootout at The Dutch Classic
 

The Hemi Shootout is scheduled for Saturday at 1:30. There is a full page ad for the Dutch Classic on Page 127 of the August 24 National Dragster that will answer many of your questions.

I'm sorry to intrude on this post, but is Gary Moore's Barracuda an original B023? His is my favorite SS/AH, well...... until I saw Bucky's Psycho Cuda,
It's Psychedelic.

Jimmy, that is great news and pass my regards to Bryan Hard President of Penske for sponsorship. Makes me keep pedaling. We can't make it this year as thrashing on a Lemons 24 Mopar squad for a November road race near Houston. L24 Rule says no car over $500. Ya'll ought to build one. Looks like a HOOT. Google Lemons 24.
Maybe Joe and Doug will go to the Dutch to represent D4. Thanks, Stephen


PS Maybe I can find some "Fools Gold (JA)" and do a D4 race at Belle Rose after your Gator trip in the Spring.
