Hell Yeah.

The Sunday race will pay $2,000, or more, to win. 45 cars will pay $2,000 to win without any money from the track. We have had as many as 64 make first round a few years ago. It would be great to get our first ever seven round race to end my career as a promoter with.

Can I have a roll call for racers who are planning on coming to the race/races ?

-Saturday is a test-and-tune day. Cars are not called up in sessions; you simply go up when you want to make a run. We usually have our own dedicated lanes (generally lanes 1 and 2). First round will be called around 2:30 or 3:00. Bye run will be chosen at random.

-Sunday, everyone gets two (2) time trials. Generally the classes being raced are S/SS, Footbrake and Electronics. There is also T-n-T, though many less cars than on Saturday. Bye run for S/SS will be best reaction time during the second time trial.

Both races are random pair for round 1. Cars are laddered for round 2 both days, by winning reaction time. In case of a tie, closest to the dial is the tiebreaker. If still a tie, the car doing it first gets the higher spot on the ladder.

Race is open to all NHRA and IHRA-legal Stock and Super Stock cars, as well as Nostalgia/SS, S/SS cars must dial the Index or quicker (IHRA Indexes are used; i.e. A/SA 11.30, SS/AA 10.00, etc). N/SS may dial in as they wish (13.00-quicker only).

If any questions, feel free to write here, e-mail me buffdaddy_1302@hotmail.com or call (724) 510-5912

This will be the final Class Racing event in the northeast for the season. This will be my twenty-fifth straight year going to this race. It is always a great way to wrap-up the season; to see your friends/fellow racers, race, and win some good money. Yes, it can be chilly at times. Other years, it has been sunny and in the low eighties.

--Also, bye runs DO NOT have to be made. No staging the car, taking the Tree, breaking the beams, etc. We made that rule several years ago. One year at H-town, in Super Pro semifinals, the first pair ran and there was smoke on the top end. They shut the bye run car off in the waterbox while they checked the track. A minute later, all was deemed good to go, so they told the bye run car to start back up, and the car would not start. So he lost on the bye-run to the final. I always thought it was dumb to lose on a bye run, so we changed the rule in our Series the following year. If you come up to get paired up for second, third, etc round and have the bye, you may
~return to the pits
~remain in the lanes if in a round-robin situation
~make the run if you so desire

We look forward to seeing you November 2-3 in Hagerstown Maryland for the annual Mason-Dixon S/SS Fall Classic !
