Pat Joffrion · 12-25-2013, 09:30 AM

This is a special Christmas bonus for you Hemi racers and fans. Following is the official release from the sponsors.

No Problem Raceway (NPR) and Division Four (D4) Good Guys are pleased to announce the Inaugural Tim Hebert Hemi “Chootout” to be contested during the Cajun Sports Nationals March 21-23, 2014 in Belle Rose, La. Tim Hebert was a longtime NHRA D4 racer who passed away suddenly at age 53 on June 2, 2013 after participating in the NHRA Englishtown National Event.

His orange and white 1968 Barracuda has been seen at NHRA and Hemi Shootout events throughout the United States for decades and will be participating in the inaugural “Chootout” with his son Rory at the wheel. Qualifying for the $12,000 cash purse and other prizes will be on Friday with “Chootout” on Saturday, March 22. Check event flyer for exact times. D4 Good Guys: Southland Dodge (Joe Teuton), Steve Kent Services (Steve Kent), Paillot Bros. Construction (Joe & Jerry Paillot), Engines Inc (Lloyd Wofford), Henson Family Dealerships (Fred Henson), 3001 (Stephen Hebert) and NPR are proud sponsors of the first event. “If you have a Hemi car or enjoy watching Hemi cars, be at NPR and participate in the celebration of Tim’s racing accomplishments,” said long time Southland Dodge teammate Lil’ Joe Tueton. Over twenty entries are estimated to attend.

And just in case y’all were wondering, the CIC race is back. Anyone wishing to join as a sponsor can e-mail me at patjoffrion@hotmail.com.

Love those Hemi cars!
That race is on my bucket list. Guess that would have to be this one coming up.

Happy New Year folks. We are still gathering goodies for the Tim Hebert Chootout. A special shout out to Mr. Defrank for the following:

"Thanks for thinking of us. We would be happy to send samples and products to all the SS/AH entrants. Just let me know as the time approaches on the exact number and I will ship everything out right away. we will also supply a custom fit car cover.

Jimmy"

Is that cool or what!!! Any other vendors that want to donate can PM me or Lil' Joe. A special thanks to Rick Lakin aka "Frito" who is behind the scenes putting these racer grab bags together.
