I just looked at MotorManiaTV schedule and its still on their list. I just firmed up going myself, and though it won't be "live" there will be footage from the event.

The event will be broadcast LIVE on www.motormaniatv.com
It's noted on the event flyer, which is available on www.looserocker.com.

That's awesome Rob, we look forward to having you there!

If I missed this, sorry.

What is the procedure , or system for pairing up cars for class? i. e . Who runs who?

[Lyn Smith]

In the last few years NHRA has been making a ladder for class eliminations .they dont leave it up to the racers anymore.

Myrone, There was coverage via print media in National Dragster, Drag Review, Drag Racing Action, (I think. Sorry John D!) and Videos done by Bill Bureski. Also had Dragracecentral covering and ESPN 2 thanks to Bret Kepner also had a half hour show. I am sure there was more that I forgot about.

We did discuss this a couple of months ago, and the plan is to run Class on a ladder, BUT we are going to need your help, racers! While it should go without saying, when your class is called, we need all the cars in the class to come to the lanes. Obviously, the classes with 4 cars or less are going to be a piece of cake. For classes with more cars, if you guys get a chance to look at the 1st round qualifying sheet and can hook up with your pairing opponent when you come to the lanes, everything will go tremendously smoother. "Help us help you."

This is a good time to remind everyone that there will be a Lucas Oil Class Eliminations Iron Tree trophy for each Class Winner. These will be presented in the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals Winner's Circle directly after drivers win their Class Final. There will be winner's circle photos, the Iron Tree trophy, and a California Car Duster courtesy of Jimmy DeFrank and the California Car Cover Co. Additionally, ATI is paying $50 contingency if you have *both* trans & converter (plus the decals of course), and AFIS will be presenting a $40 Gift Certificate good toward purchase of a set of AFIS Ignition wires to all class winners! (PLUS a Custom Wire set to Winner of U/SA and SS/K)

There are additional awards and/or contingency postings for U/SA, Pure Stock, and SS/K. See the event flyer at www.looserocker.com and the Loose Rocker facebook page at www.facebook.com/LooseRocker for details.

As a fanboy, depending on how the track needs to be prepped of course, I would love to see class run from slowest to fastest indexed classes. Call them up accordingly. My dream race. :->

I had already given that a thought Rob, but I'm waiting to get with Redman and Michael and see what works the best for Red's track. Keep you all guessing but we will let you know before Friday of the event.
