I know it's on here somewhere...but don't have time to search. Anybody have some
numbers close by they can access quickly? 1.) Total car count...breakdown of SS and Stock Elim cars? 2.) Number of Crate-Motor and Pure Stock cars....I'm assuming they could run? 3.) Were Top Stock cars permitted in Stock Elim...or not allowed to cross-over? Thanks! |

1) I know it was 187 (yes, one eight seven) Stockers. 101 S/S cars, so 288 total.
2) I will post the qualifying sheets so you can see. I know there were several of each. Yes, all NHRA and IHRA-legal cars were able to compete. Unsure of the car counts, but there was also Nostalgia/SS (handicapped Index breakoput format on .50 interval Indexes) as well as Outlaw/SS, a heads-up class for cars with mufflers and stuff, I think similar to the old mid-90's NMCA Pro Street class, before they became Pro Mods with license plates. 3) Top Stock (21 of the 187 Stk cars) had their own heads-up Pro Tree shootout, but also ran in with regular Stock in their own Class (T/Stk, 11.00 Index) S/S Final Qualifying: http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r2001#indextop Stk Final Qualifying: http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r2001#indextop T/Stk Final Qualifying: http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...r2001#indextop Also, go here to see all round-by-round results of the Quick 32's, main event eliminations, and list of Class Winners (scroll down to JUly 21 and 22 under BYRON) : http://www.dragracecentral.com/Serie...ilter=&Month=7

Thanks for finding that material, Mike. I used to have links to the race coverage and such that I did, but IHRA's been through server changes since I left, and sadly, a lot of photos and stories are just gone.
I thought for sure there were more Super Stockers than that. The most interesting thing though is the qualifying times... remember that was before they whacked .30 off the indexes. I know it was 107 degrees there, but still, comparing everyone's performance then and now is wild. Like #3 in Super Stock would only be -.69 under today's index, and now we think "boy, I need to pick it up..." ![]()

If you drank a bottle of water, it fell out your feet. Now, we wear the heat like a badge of honor! The most amazing thing was seeing Redman bring the track around in that heat.
FYI, historical weather data and high temps Fri-Sat-Sun, first weekend in May each year at National Trail Raceway... 2013 - 78 / 73 / 73 - all clear 2012 - 87 / 81 / 80 - SAT (light rain 8:30PM-10:30PM only) 2011 - 57 / 64 / 69 - SUN (.07" precip 8AM-9AM only) 2010 - 82 / 71 / 73 - SAT (.04" precip 11:20AM -1PM only), SUN: wash 2009 - 71 / 62 / 64 - FRI: wash, Sat-Sun all clear 2008 - 80 / 70 / 63 - FRI (.12" precip 5:30PM-8PM), SAT (6AM-Noon), SUN clear 2007 - 75 / 66 / 66 - SAT (2PM-7PM), Fri & Sun clear 2006 - 72 / 61 / 64 - all clear 2005 - 55 / 54 / 55 - all clear 2004 - 62 / 79 / 52 - FRI: wash, SAT clear til 10PM, SUN rain til 1PM, SUN clear 2003 - 66 / 63 / 69 - SAT sprinkle @ 7PM, Fri & Sun clear 2002 - 57 / 66 / 72 - all clear Really, in 12 years, only 2010 would've been really bad. There's a couple of years that we could've gotten through with some schedule adjustments. Historically, might have to deal with a stray shower once at some point during the weekend. Those are about as good of odds as you could ask for.
