As most of you have read, we held a heads up race one Friday a month in Indy and did fairly well with it. Enough so that we are going to be able to put the event on a Saturday next season. This way folks don't have to take a day off work to race with us. We are still going to make an evening event out of it to help with the travel as well.

Purse money as always will be guaranteed, we area going to make some adjustments to some classes, like putting big tires back on dragsters, making the true street rules much closer to the x275 John Sears rules and a few other adjustments to the index classes.

Hope everyone that came last season had fun, and we hope to gain some racers by making these changes.

Thanks for everything.

Josh

I think all these changes will help the show
because now other racers like myself that could not take off work or that have kids will be able to attend and race too
how did you do with your car this year.

It's about 250 miles for me but I will come to a couple of these races. Why not just adapt the Sears rules?

 

[turboss]

Sounds good im in JUST A HOUR AWAY

 

[B-1Duster]

we cant just run the sears rules by themselves. there are a handful of local guys who are BB turbo or blower cars that built cars just for this. It would not be fair for them. And, being that this is only its second year, we do not want to isolate anyone who wants to run

Where are the rules for this race?

Gotcha. the rules look fine. I did have a question about the verbage reguarding cool down in the pits during the semi finals and the finals. I read that to say that we round robin directly back to the lanes for the last two rounds with no pit time?

I'm sorry that old Matchbox and I can't run any of those Friday night rage deals, but we are sure looking forward to your Monster Mopar Weekend...but with DRY weather!

Not sure if there will be changes, but here is what I could find.

Thanks David

 

[DPouw]

No problem John. You plannng on running a sb blower combo at Indy and OV?

 

[Cobrattf]

Yes David small block turbo. The rules say small block reduced turbo 3300lbs. Does that mean I can run a 106mm with a 88mm reducer?

 

[Sam Vincent]

when will 2012 rules and Purses' be out?

 

[DPouw]

Yes David small block turbo. The rules say small block reduced turbo 3300lbs. Does that mean I can run a 106mm with a 88mm reducer?

That's the way I read it...

 

[B-1Duster]

You can run the 106-88mm reducer

we will have payouts and official rules out soon!

 

[Cobrattf]

Ok thanks for clarifing that rule for me. I will try to make some of the races and look forward to racing at Indy. I have never raced there before.

 

[Jeff Clark]

I might run some 9.00 index. I always wanted to go to Indy.

 

[FlyinOhioan]

Will be running in the Dragster class at least 3-4 of the races if not all of them . Low 3.70's will be cheap when the weather is there to do so . Looking forward to it ! .

 

[James Ratliff]

I know this sounds dumb and all, but has anyone ever thought of an 11.50-11.60 index for cars that dont have cages to run heads up?? It would be for the street car guys that want to go heads up. I think the IMIS? guys that run up at Byron have a series called street heat or something like that for these cars.

Just a thought as I fall into that category. Do you think it would have a turnout? Seems to be a lot of street cars out there without bars in them??

Just wondering (hoping)

[Elkyman]

Since I can't read, in the 9.0 class concerning electronics, I have a digiset timer to control when my nitrous comes on, but I have NOT used it yet, but I will need to use it if I run this class other wise I will be too quick. So, can I use it with nitrous or not? It would be used just off the start of the race.
Thanks

John
