See the interest in this? NHRA, and IHRA are missing the boat. Racers, and spectators want to see HEADS UP RACING! THEY DON'T CARE HOW FAST THE CARS ARE! THEY WANT TO SEE HEADS UP RACING!!!!!

Randy : I am going to have to disagree with your assessment of Racers and Spectators wanting to see Heads up racing . The reason long time ago the index system was done was to save racing for the racers as well as the spectators who like the thrill of the Chase. The Stock and Super Stock classes racing off the records was killing Stock and Super Stock as There was not a fair and balanced playing field for the less finance racers and as a result the racers with the most money always won (just like Pro Stock is Now and Pro Stock is in trouble and most likely will be changed in some form next year ) Stock and Super Stock racing in it present form is not broken it is working for the majority of the racers .

FYI There is Heads up racing now if two cars in the same class run each ,there is no break out works just fine

Keep this kind of stuff out of my Shootout. This is a fun deal for us and yes it will be heads up racing. I just thought it would be fun for us small block racers to get together from all over the country and see what everyone has. No more no less.

Bullet camshafts will award a 100.00 gift certificate to the winner of the SS/K Stickshift Shootout. Thanks again to John Partridge for being a supporter.

Still working to get more support for this race. Still waiting to hear from Jerico,Liberty and G Force. Since it's a stick shift race I was hoping to get them on board. Ed

Dangit, Ed, I just expanded the flyer to 11x17 and can barely cram all of the sponsors in there!

Best problem to have, ever! No worries, whatever you send me, I'll make it work!
