As always " Old age and treachery will defeat youth and skill. " and the Star Spangled Banner by Hendrix is killer.

See you there.

Ed's spent the last year and a half trying to talk himself out of coming, but he keeps coming back to these threads. There's a little kid inside that can't wait for the gates to open at Columbus!

Ed,
Had some friends over Friday, Sunday morning one of the husbands calls and says he's taking his Prowler out for a cruise. He stopped by and said he didn't dine with us because he had been having trouble swallowing and was diagnosed with esophagal cancer with a large tumor Thursday. Unfortuately I know some young girls who will never be older than 16 and 18. Get some help and make the trip, you will have stories to entertain everyone when you get back!!

Just like every other NHRA event. You can find the Accepted Fuels list on page 100 of this document: http://www.nhra.com/userfiles/file/N...edProducts.pdf
We will have NHRA Div. 3 fuel check books & equipment with Donald Braun heading up the fuel check station.

No. Per IHRA: "Pure Stock entries may utilize OEM unleaded blends meeting the rulebook specifications." http://www.ihra.com/competition/clas...stksststd/file

Ohio's pretty flat. As in the original post of this thread:
DIRECTIONS: National Trail Raceway is located just east of Columbus, OH. Take I-70 to Exit 126. Go North on OH Route 37 for 1.1 miles. Turn left onto US-40 (National Rd.) Track is .8 miles ahead on the right.

FWD Classes

Quote:

For front wheel drive are we running at IHRA weight breaks or NHRA?

As noted on the event flyer and in the original post of this thread, any classes that can do so will default to the NHRA class structures, weight breaks, and HP factors, including FWD, EFI, Trucks, etc.

Wasn't there a video made of the event and some magazine coverage? I'm thinking I may have a copy of each. Just gotta find them.

Ben Kallies · 04-12-2014, 05:04 PM

Michael,

I thought I read that there was going to be live coverage of the event on-line, but reading through the threads, I can no longer find reference to this. Is there going to be someone covering the event for us "non-attendees"?

I attended the inagural Class Nationals in 2001, and had a memorable time. I'm sorry To have to miss this. Thank you

-Ben
