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.

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... Last edited by SSDA Hemi; 01-29-2018 at 07:20 AM. |

To whom it may concern, The Mopar Hemi Challenge program that has run in conjunction with the US Nationals will NOT take place in 2018. Please discontinue all deliverables and promotions of the Mopar Hemi Challenge program including using the Mopar Hemi Challenge logo entirely. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Gary Raasch NHRA Sr. Director of Corporate Marketing and Partnerships 2035 Financial Way Glendora, CA 91741 626-250-2211 office 626-688-9172 cell graasch@nhra.com
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. Signed: The proud owner of a $500k bracket car |

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

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
