Friday All-Run CIC Race

Pat Joffrion · 02-07-2013, 11:01 PM

Just got word from Mike Rice with NHRA that we can have an all-run CIC race on Friday of the JEG'S Cajun SportsNationals. There will be one qualifying time trial first thing on Friday, then we go into the CIC race. Class eliminations will be on Saturday.

We'll run the CIC race like we did last year, with a .70-under CIC adjustment in the next round. Stock vs. Stock and Super Stock vs. Super Stock until we get down to 16 cars or less. Qualifying at 16 or less will be from prior round, using best non-red reaction time for the laddering.

Until we get down to 16 remaining, pairings will be drawn from four lanes. First card goes into the left lane; the next card will have the right lane. Once on the ladder, the highest qualified driver will have lane choice.

The CIC race is open to all stock and super stock entries. You will have to run the class in which you qualified in first round. If you missed the qualifying run, you must run the class that you entered your car during tech inspection.

Should make for a fun time.

Can we run the CIC race in one class and race Class in another. May run big car with six pac for cic and switch to single 4 for class and elms?

Larry, surely you have heard of Lori Morgan, good looking country & western singer. She has a big hit "What Part of No Don't You Understand". That was just too easy.

Make it a qualified field. Get rid of random pairing for this race!

Byron. How could you ladder a FREE event like the CIC?

You don't need to make a qulifing pass to run the event

You don't know how many cars are running the main event and not the CIC race.

No entry fee so you don't know how many cars are running the event.

The only way you could ladder this event is after first round. Its just to much work to ladder a FREE race like this, In the early rounds. Now if racers were paying a entry fee then we have a different story. Just for the record I would love to see this race laddered. But I will run it either way.

Will the AHFS be in effect for the CIC race?

Charlie Bob wanted me to ask in case he needs to pour the coals to that machine of his!

Charley, so you are making the trip? CJ or Truck?

It just got 10 times harder for an old car to win the CIC race. In years past, if you could evade a Drag Pack or Cobra Jet for a round or 2, some of them would be gone. Now, as populated as the upper classes are, and with the addition of the COPOs, it will be a tall order to go rounds.

Good Luck to everybody,

See you guys at the St Louis Open....
