Remind me Jeff, is it all run or qualifying? Must you have Lucas Points to enter?

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Grade points are required, the challenge is run in conjuction with SS/AH class elininations.

If Jr. and Sr. don't correct the breakage problems that they have had at Indy the last few years, the check may be written out to Jim Daniels or David Barton.

OK, here is my opinion of the shootout.
While I marvel at the technology and expertise it takes to assemble and run these cars I have lost interest as to who is the fastest and quickest.
I would much rather be watching them chase down other cars in the regular eliminator.
To each his own I guess.

I heard Barton's were going to stick,they may have tested by now have'nt heard anything about that yet.
I say Wescott's will figure how to stop breaking,they figured how to make stick work.

Myself, I really like watching close heads up racing. Love those Hemis.

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Even Ed and I agree. It's quite a show.

Doesn't get much cooler than a Hemi unless it's a Hemi with a Stick.. I really like the "grassroots" part of this quote.

Grassroots racers who compete in the Mopar HEMI Challenge are the foundation of drag racing, and the reason why Mopar is involved in the NHRA,” said Pietro Gorlier, President & CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand

Can't wait to see how the Reher Morrison and the Jenkins Competition stick "dogs hunt".

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Yeah, two more "grassroots" racers....cause, you know, EVERYBODY has a couple hundred grand to throw around for their weekend hobby right?



That said, the hemi challenge is cool.
Whether Hemi's are in their own sandbox or with everybody in the eliminator, they are pretty cool.

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

which do you think is more expensive? Running a SS/AH Hemi, or running a Pro Stock?

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Jeff, you and I actually agree on a lot.

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Up until this year, first prize was $10,000 and the car counts for the last 4 years were 22 - 30. This year with first prize increased to $15,000; it will be interesting to see how many more, if any, cars participate.

Re: SS/AH Shootout on for Indy
 

Seems to be very hard to get 30 of them running on the same day! For instance, mine is broken right now.
