My Super Stocker most likey will be there if I can remember how to drive . I may even take the weight out and let it hang out lol. I hope the track will have the full quarter mile prepped .:);)

Don, All I can tell you is Sunday morning I was down on the starting line doing some measuring for signage, etc.
Both lanes looked very good with NO bald spots after a night of racing. The Sun had been up for a bit, and I was standing in the left lane, making some notes.When I tried to leave, my sandals were stuck to the starting line and couldn't move for a few seconds.
Of course I didn't have a 428 Pontiac hooked to them, but I'm just relating my experience .

I understand that the track had changing the formula for thinning and spraying, so it seems to be working.

Thanks for offering to grace us with your presence.
Looks like about 20 cars in S/SS so far, which is about half of the count in the state.
I still haven't heard from quite a few yet though.

I just got confirmation of Calvert Racing signing on as a sponsor.
Make sure you thank these people when you see them this Fall. It means a lot to them, I can assure you.

Also I talked to a "Snowbird" today that will be joining us in S/SS.

Ryan Smith will join us also with his N/SA Malibu.

Might be our biggest S/SS combo yet.... but I'm going to need other old car fans as racers and spectators to make this work..
So bring your friends and neighbors along too.

Update on S/SS Combo.

Over the weekend , I had a fan of S/SS racing post $100 for the Best Package Shootout.

There's the setup then:
Track opens at 5:00 PM Friday the 21st of Nov. This is a track T&T event. You will be paying WHMP track fees for Friday night
You are welcome to stay in the pits overnight , but we will collect our Saturday fees on Friday night if you are staying. You only have to tech in once, but you'll have to submit both tech cards at that time.
If there is enough interest, I will conduct a gambler race for you guys on Friday night.
I have the track's permission to do that.

Saturday, the 22nd.gates open 7 am.
You purchase your tech card and crew passes at gate 2...The middle gate by the VIP building.
See me or Mike Mingo to sign in with your lane fee. (100% pay back of this fee)

All classes will get three TT's if all goes well, in rotation.

Please tech in with your NHRA index at the top of the tech card, as soon as possible ,so we can get the tech cards to the computer operator for first round qualifying.

Sportsman ladder by qualifying order.
I will be checking weight and doing a little look over at the scales, 1st and 2nd Q runs.
However ..NO HEADS-UP RUNS IN ELIMINATIONS ..I just don't have the tech personnel for that.
Qualifying is for bragging rights and for the ladder only. If someone wants to sponsor or post an award for no.1 , please do.
.
First two hits are Q runs. 3rd run is the Best package shoot out .
Dial it in ... Must be on the green side and over index to win it.
Tree will come down staggered.
As stated, $100 dollars posted for this, so far. I might add to it if we have a good turnout, so bring all your friends and neighbors, so we can do this again in March.

Any questions? Call me

Good luck in Vegas ,guys.

Mark,

I want in.......can you all make me an "honorary" stocker member for a day. I have a 98 camaro with a whomping v6.....fuel injected.....very base model. What would be the natural class for this comb? I want to get into U/SA......I've been hearing about some wicked Maverick running around the neighborhood here in Tempe.

I could dump the antifreeze out of it for the day, I better as there would be a good chance it will.

Or heck I owe Don one....we can save that till the final. I can drive over to Wildhorse Pass.......but may need a tow getting home.
