Martin Hemi shootout

charlie westcott · 06-22-2009, 08:28 PM

We have organized our own race since MP cancelled the bowling green race, and we feel that the future of hemi shootouts is up in the air if we are dependant on a bankrupt company for our livelyhood.
This event will be held at the Chrysler Classic event at 131 dragway in MI.
Large cash purse to be payed at the event, and contingent awards that will be awarded at the event also. The way it should be.
any questions, call me @ 517 531 3430
The info is on my website,

thanks

Good luck with this Charlie. I will be there to chear on all of the SS/AH cars. This will be a great venue for a shootout as Martin has always been one of my favorite tracks. Again Good Luck and I hope you have a huge turnout.

Charlie, the best of luck with this project. Also, what is the status of the Hemi Challenge at Indy? It is still listed on the schedule for Friday morning; but I don't know if I should believe that. Any info that you can provide will be appreciated.

its getting painted right now. We should have it home in 2 weeks, than I will need to get it ready, 2 more weeks. So look for it at the track in a month or so. Probably right after the race.

Charlie, the sniper you got taking spy photo's isn't doing a very good job! No pics of new cars birth. Quit keeping us in suspense! :-) Eric

I attend Indy every year for all 6 days, so I am well aware of what you are saying David. My point is the schedule on the NHRA website specifically lists the Hemi Shootout on Friday as part of SS class elims. It is listed that way every year, but with Chrysler declaring bankruptcy this year, I don't know if I should believe that the Hemi Shootout will be held. Any info that anyone has will be appreciated.

Whether or not it has a big dollar sponsor they will still be running class for all Super Stock (including SS/AH) on Friday - they just likely won't have as much fanfare as past years. No the real question is how many Hemi cars will show up if they are just running for the couple hundred bucks contingency that is posted for class winners? Though I'm sure there will be some pot pulled together to make it more attractive unless the Martin Hemi Shootout is the racers way of taking the class outside NHRA and skip Indy this year.
