Michael, I am planning to be there. It is a 600 mile drive for me from Bridgeport, CT, but I drive farther than that to go to Charlotte and Indy every year; and this sounds like it should be a truly great experience.

Here's another look at Iron Tree trophies. I do the artwork for Beaver Springs Dragway's awards, done by Crown Trophy of Hanover, PA. Royce Miller of Maryland International Raceway originally commissioned the hand-painted resin sculpture.

Hahaha I just called Doug yesterday and placed the same order for the Nitroplate Stock/SS Race at Numidia. Doug is a great guy!

Bub Whitaker of Whitaker Racing Engines and Burtonsville Performance Machine is the latest to throw support behind the Northern Class Nationals' Friday night Quick 32 Comp-style CIC races. Whitaker has pledged $300 toward the Stock Quick 32 purse. The Laurel, MD-based house of horsepower can be reached at 301-490-3131.

The top 32 qualifiers in each eliminator on Go-Fast Friday will earn the right to compete in the FREE ENTRY Stock Quick 32 and Super Stock Quick 32! The purses will be sponsor-supported, so we challenge other engine builders and performance industry companies to add to the pot! It all goes to the racers!

Qualifiers will be paired on a sportsman ladder, handicapped off their class index, and then the first to the finish line wins! A -1.25 under CIC (Competition Index Control) trigger will be in place, similar to that used in Competition Eliminator. (Remember, we will be running off of what is essentially the "old" NHRA indexes... add .30 to the existing NHRA indexes).

This independent event has no AHFS, so it's time to let it all hang out! Who has THE baddest Stocker and Super Stocker on planet Earth?

Michael,

What about the front wheel drive classes. All to run NHRA or will the seperate IHRA classes, such as the automatic classes run? Will all class winners teardown? This would be fun. I haven't been to National Trail, (is it still called that) since the 70's.

Like the trucks and fuel-injected combos, FWD cars will run in the NHRA classes. As the owner of a DF/S Turismo, I'm aware of the challenges. I'm not a fan of how they consolidated the classes many years ago, but I would like to do a minimum of 'tinkering' with what has long been established by the sanctioning bodies. Since we will be running off of what are essentially the 'old' NHRA Indexes (current NHRA index +.30), even the slower FWD cars should be able to compete. It's on my "to-do list" to post all of the classes/indexes in the coming weeks.

I'm projecting there will be around 80 different winners in Class Eliminations. It will not be physically possible to tear down every single one. We do reserve the right to do inspections/teardowns, just as any NHRA/IHRA event.
