Stick shift race
 

I will keep everyone posted as more info becomes available, but we are in the process of putting together a stick shift race in the midwest for all stick shift organizations as well as anyone else out there who enjoys banging gears. I know there are a lot of you out there.

Location is not known right now. We are trying to have the race at Indy, but this time of year it is hard to get a reply from any track managers as they are wrapping up the 2010 season.

We now have a location and date. May 7 at ORP in Indy. More details to come but hope to see many of you there.

Rory,,,here you go. I wonder if any of the B.C.S.S.s would save up to make the tow to Indy.It could be quite an event. Hopefully it wouldn't conflict with a divisional race date.

Just exactly what is Indy Midwest of? Certainly not Vancouver or Seattle. A stick car race would be way cool though. We do have a few guys around here that can drive one.

Dale,,,you know I threw that out there because I think its great when the BC Super Shifters come down here to Bremerton twice a year to take on the local gearjammers. I can imagine what a race like this could attract in the way of competitors, with this much lead time and if its promoted well.
I remember that there were over 60 stick cars at Byron Dragway in 2001 for the US Classnationals, a stock/superstock event. I would think a "stick only" event could draw a lot of cars if the word gets out early enough, especially at Indy.
Do you think Peter would take the Cuda out there?,,,how awesome would that be?
I wish these promoters well in pulling this event off.

Well, Peter could afford the time and money for a trip like that. Word is he has a new Barton motor for the 68 'cuda and the motor currently in that car is being de-tuned to run SS/D in the Black car. Fun guy to watch run for sure. Rory would likely have to throw a tune up in his ramp truck before going. Indy is something like 2380 miles from here.

UMTR has recently posed the question of a two day race instead of just Saturday. How many of you would be more likely to attend if it were a two day event?
