More updates. The racer donations really add up. Here is another example.

"I would like to get on board as a contingency sponsor of the Indy A/ Stick Challenge. My name is David Daulton and I own a sign/graphics company called Exit 29 Graphics & Design. I do a lot of race car vinyl graphics (drag, oval, etc) & specialize in digitally printed and cut vehicle graphics. I have been into drag racing all of my life and have raced in Super Stock (including Indy) in the past. I will always be a fan and supporter of Stock & Super/ Stock racing so thanks for getting this together.

I would like to offer a FREE competition number, class, driver name package ( a $99. value) to the winner."

Joe, are you still planning on coming over to Indy?
BTW, what combo are you running? tripower oval port ? It would be great to osee the car in action. I hear it's Faaast. Jim

Re: 2009 A Stick Challenge at Indy
 

Over $1000 bucks to the winner in cash and product! I have made shirts for the competitors and also Class Winner Shirts. These cars are some of the most brutal cars in terms of cost to maintain. I really appreciate the dedication to the class. Being a stick guy, I prefer the sticks of course. Should be a good show. Remember Brett McFarland took it all last year! Who knows this year? Could be anyone!

I will have a limited supply of shirts. I try and order enough to keep the cost down and sell them at my cost. If you are interested, e mail me jimschaechter@earthlink.net or haunt me at the track. I sell out quick so don't wait. When they are gone, they are gone.

Thanks to all of the racers, fans and company supporters of such a cool class! See you at Indy!

Jim,
That should be a 427/425 single holley motor. Tri-power was not offered until 67. See ya at INDY.

Re: 2009 A Stick Challenge at Indy
 

Somebody needs to record/broadcast class, I'd pay a few $ to see it!

Re: 2009 A Stick Challenge at Indy
 

Troy - the quality of the video isn't great but I posted a bunch of hte 2007 US Nationals stock class runs on youtube starting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6MIntp1EGc . There are 5-6 videos that are about 5 minutes each.

I am driving to Indy tonight with our Chevy II stocker. I'll have the A/S participant t-shirts with me along with some extras if anyone wants to buy one. If you look for me I am guessing I am going to be waaaayyy out in the back of the sportsman pits.

Kevin Helms' MOV: 0.0493 seconds (approximately 9 feet).

Tosto is new to the game and has come a long way this year! Helms sacrificed a bullet. He said it locked up after the scales.
Hello spun rod bearing. Good thing he had a spare bullet and his brother Scott to help him make the eliminator.
