Class Nationals event planning

[Michael Beard]

Jeff Ross, founder of the Buckeye S/SS Series, approached me with an idea for a Junior Stock Shootout. Eligible cars will be those in K/S or K/SA on down, D/PS on down, SGT/F-G, and FWD Stockers. Standard eliminator format: handicapped, sportsman ladder, heads-up runs in effect when applicable. The Quick 32 CIC races on Friday night are certainly going to need a little cooldown time between rounds. By my estimate, Junior Stock would probably be about 25-32 cars, so they should fit in there nicely. (No double entries: i.e., can't run both Quick 32 and Jr Stock)

Just like Class and the Quick 32's, there will be no additional entry fee for Junior Stock participants. Jeff has put up $500/Win and $200/RU. We'll see if we can get some other sponsors to add to the purse. At worst, Loose Rocker Promotions will make sure that Semis get $100, and an Iron Tree trophy for the winner like all the other classes.

Michael,
The flyer says that V8's can run in V/SA. Is that correct?

Sure looks that way! Hell, if I can run a 6 in W/S maybe I should put together a 65 Biscayne!

No -- good catch, thank you. I double checked and IHRA rules for V and W state: "Class V and W are limited to 4 and 6 cylinder entries". The bottom of the weight breaks are the same in V & W are the same as NHRA, so we will use the IHRA engine permissions and not have duplicate classes just for 1-2 cars.

V6's? What about Straight 6's?
Keep it inline!

The question has been asked about classes for Super Stock Cudas and Darts. We will follow NHRA rules on these, and they will run SS/AH only. Remember, all classes will run on the 'old' indexes (current NHRA + .30), so SS/AH will run off a 9.60 Index.

$200 to beat any Jeff Teuton Mopar in the final because it's "the way I was brought up." and $50 to the runner up. (OK... $200/Win vs non Jeff Teuton Mopars as well)

Please note revised info on V & W cars on the previous page. I had it wrong. Per the IHRA Rulebook, "Class V and W are limited to 4 and 6 cylinder entries".

Fred "Skip" Lee, of ET Enterprises (www.etenterprises.com), maker of the HammerHead(TM) 12-Bolt rear end housing for independent rear suspensions has stepped up to join the Buckeye S/SS Series in presenting the Junior Stock Shootout on Friday night. Eligible cars will include K/S and K/SA on down, D/PS on down, SGT/G-F, and FWD Stockers -- FREE ENTRY! (No double entries: cannot run both Quick 32 and Jr Stock) With the additional sponsorship, we have bumped up the Junior Stock purse to pay: $700/Win, $400/RU, $200/Semis, and $100 to the Quarterfinals!

Fred and his son Jeff Lee were big supporters of the original U.S. Class Nationals, and we're excited to have them on board. Thanks for your support of the little guys!
