Live from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II

[David Daulton]

Congratulations to Mark Chaney & his daughter (future NHRA event winner) Brianna on the Best Appearing Super Stocker award.

Hey Mike, how about a 88-90 mph V/S ? lol

This is my Helmet-Cam video from the Quarter Final round of the Autometer Northern Class Nationals against Kevin Skinner in his FS/A 2014 Cobra Jet. Kevin actually red-lighted on this run – but I was so focused on shift points – and then on the finish line -- that I never looked at the scoreboard. I dumped when I realized Kevin was going to take the stripe and killed about .01-.02. Kevin ran 154 MPH on this run.

Imagine what this feels like in your middle class Stocker that is running 112-115 MPH?

Mike I run a FWD stocker you should see how it feels when they pass me lol

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

thank you to everybody that came to the 2015 event, glad to see everyone and I will say everyone did great coming to the lanes at a timely manner. (few I had to go after cause of being worked on and I gave them extended time)

Thank you very much to Loose Rocker, the track and everyone else associated with this event.

Mike D., interesing little "bullseye" you have on the windshield!

Myron,, I agree this event should've been better attended. There were less spectators than last year and the car count was definitely down. I know Michael did his best when the decision was made to move to date, but I can't help but think that the reschedule was a factor this year, especially being the same weekend as Brainerd. I'll keep my fingers crossed that Loose Rocker can do this again, but I'll understand if it doesn't happen. I know Michael will let us know what he can, when he can, after they reflect on how this one went down. I couldn't make it there this year but I still thank those guys for doing what they do,, its much appreciated by many of us out here.

Congrats on your win Mike !

Are you shifting the trans in your video with the ol' Mopar push button ?

Thanks to all that help put on the Class Nationals and to all the winners.

Myron - the bullseyes are for training purposes only.

The alignment is better here.

[Mike Delahanty]

The prize money and awards for the Autometer Northern Class Nationals are better than any other NHRA or IHRA event. My quick math figues the ANCN win is 5 times more than the points meets I won, and at least double what a NHRA National event would get me with my weak line up of contingency.

And look at all the other stuff that was distributed to so many other racers!

Thanks Michael, Anthony, all those great companies that so richly supported the 2015 Autometer Northern Class Nationals.

[Michael Beard]

Mike, sent your 'care package' to you today.

All of the contingency claims have been submitted to sponsors. Not previously noted, we had three Lucas Oil Class Eliminations winners who had both ATI trans *and* converter to pick up the $50 contingency: Bob Marshall, Steve Novosel, and Jim Boburka (who likes his paid in steak dinners)

I was late on getting the Class Eliminations "Class Winner" decals. I have them in-hand and have been handing them out at Bowling Green and Magnolia, and will have them this weekend at Quaker City (Tri-State S/SS Combo Sat & Sun), and at next weekend's NHRA SportsNats at Columbus. Anyone I've missed after that, I'll drop 'em in the mail.

A limited number of 2015 Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals event t-shirts are still available. Look for them this weekend at the Tri-State S/SS race at Quaker City, and then next week at the NHRA Sportsnationals at Columbus. $15/ea, available in blue, red, and grey.
