Indy Stock/SuperStock combo

Lynn A McCarty · 05-05-2011, 12:04 AM

Well I tried to get some info, but cant. However there is definitely a s/ss combo this weekend at Indy. I will try to get more info, but they are going for 128 car field for $6000 guaranteed purse Testing on Friday.

I tried to get a heads up session with the track manager last year and he decided to do this. We will see how it goes. My idea was instead of 3 days of practice to run one day as a heads up against same class followed by heads up against your index.

Hey Lynn,
The answers ARE in the link you posted. Go to pararaph 5 where is says " to read more about the event, click HERE." Friday test and tune, Race 1 on Sat., Race 2 on Sun. Payout info listed by rounds and car counts. This is not just a Stock/Super Stock Combo race, they are also having a Top Dragster race and U.M.T.R. races also. I would like to be there but I have a trailer with no brakes, and no car ready to roll. I hope this weekend is successful for all.
Talk to ya soon,
John

I have been lobbying for a few years to get Racers or NHRA to do a heads up instead of 3 days of practice. There is going to be a drivers meeting before we run on Sat for this inaugural event. We are looking at doing something heads up, but of course we all know NHRA has at least 3-4 times more classes than we really need so it makes it almost impossible. I have suggested heads up against your index like we ran at US Class Nationals, but maybe next year set it up to be 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0. Just 6 classes then for a single champion heads up against your index. What say you?

Stacy is in Pontiac "RPM" prison.

The track manager seems to be all fired up about S and SS and that include the possibility of some heads up.

Anyone coming? We are testing tonight between 5PM to 10PM. Ought to be fast! Talk to Kurt the track manager he is excited about S/SS. I think Pinks has rejuvenated the heads up deal, but I really dont understand it. Kurt came from having involvement in heads up racing. I think maybe NHRA is exploring possibilities? I really dont know why we want to waste our time for 3 days running practice. We ought to have more fun?
