Hemi Challenge at Indy

[SSDA Hemi]

There will still be SS/AH class regardless if there is a $15k purse and big trophy or not. Mopar and NHRA can do whatever they want, but the fans and racers will make SS/AH class at Indy a big deal with or without there help

Getting back to work as I'm already behind trying to make Indy in SS/AH, shootout or not....

Herb, this will be huge hit if they don't run the Challenge again, all those Hemi cars parading down the return road is a thrill in itself.

Hope they invite your Dad back to help announce it too...first saw him running match races in Clarksville TN, bought a few parts from him too before he sold his stuff to Hensley.

Jim, there was no Hemi parade last year..... was on my bucket list and was hoping they would bring it back this year as its 50 year anniversary for these (1968) cars.

The "parking in the circle" ended 2 years ago, a major concern would be they park the SS/AH scattered randomly through out the pits and not together

I understand this is the CHEVROLET US Nationals, but if Mopar doesn't put up the $, looks like some work to do to find someone that will. Jegs ,Me3 (lol) or ????

But yes, special announcing, special run schedule, A very good advertising value for the $ imho. Just appears NHRA needs there cut for that to happen...

This was floating around in the cloud so I called Glendora. There is a Gary Raash which I left a voicemail. SO I went to my source and friend Eric Lotz who said it was cancelled for 2018 BUT talks are back on to do it. Stay tuned was his quote. If you want to see it happen, emails and letters to Mopar and NHRA.

I really hope they get it back in the program, especially this year being the 50th anniversary of the Hemi cars.

Me three,Spyfish, $500k bracket motor man, I have talked to the other AH drivers and owners and we have decided that you being of sound mind (lol) are the guy to handle this matter with Mopar and NHRA. Don't let us dowm

Dam. Shame. Bean counters. Running out of beans?
I hope you Hemi guys get together like they do in A/S.
Do your own thing if possible or do it someplace else
