West Coast Stk/SS Combo

Hey Larry

Last year we qualified off of reaction time. It worked well but of course some folks were disappointed that the programs wasn't 100% true to their NHRA experience. Additionally, we did not support heads up runs....but that seems to be very important to some so it is something we are working on.

There will not be a fuel check but there will be weighing after each round. We are trying to identify somebody who can work the scale house and another to manage the indexes and weight breaks most likely from the tower.

Still a few minor issues to iron out but the combined energy and experience of these "westcoasters" prevail in the end!

Thanks Mark, We have had a great time running the Muscles in the past. It was nice to shake off some of the Colorado snow. I am good with the reaction time qualifying. Lets see what happens in the next couple of months and hopefully we can bring a car or two down.

I wonder if Anita Perri is available here to operate the scales.

I'm fine with heads up if most are in. With scales and a honor system. We all know who's fast. You can have a gift bag for the heads up losers. I'm hoping for the meal on Friday again.

any word on the payout structure? does it pay down or is winner and runner up only?

mikeloge · 02-02-2023, 12:23 AM

I think if heads up are run, then you should qualify off e.t. Just my thought.

GTS340 · 02-02-2023, 12:58 PM

We need a person in the tower Maybe someone before we qualify. Verify classes of each car so that person has a heads up. You can get Paul Wong to tech but ole eagle eye doesn't miss anything.

This will be one of the very few races this year that we can run the cars fast without potential penalties, lets qualify off the indexes. Heck, if we could qualify with the tree staggered off the indexes that would be even more fun. Association races are supposed to be for the fun.

There are so many AA, A and B stock cars in division 7 a Top Stock class Friday would be cool. It would probably draw a few more cars out of hibernation like Mark Madison and Don Little.

I enjoyed myself last year even with one nasty back ache and having Jimmy DeFrank first round. The whole deal the Painters put on is enjoyable. There is a car show, lot's a vendors for hotrodding. Swap meet with plenty of fans. We are treated like the big show when we run. Ussually are able to park as all one.
