Craig, I know for sure the bracket race on July 11 at the Pro Am will be open to everybody. You do not have to be a Pro Am racer to enter. I don't see a time either, but my guess would be IHRA would run their classes to completion first.
LR, depending on entry vs payout, and the rules, I could be interested. I'd fit the 8.00 index.

Lone RangerThanks chuck for response, I figured jus about everyone could fit in one of those classes ( obviously have to slow car down). Thinking to talk about putting on a race like this with Greg. With guaranteed payouts for each class. Be a nice way changing it up.

ChuckTOpen to all, or street cars only? Delay boxes, throttle stops allowed? A lot of people will have those questions. For 8.0, at least, I vote footbrake only.

Underdog99I personally have zero interest in running half track. Right now I just wish it would stop raining.

ChuckTGood time out at Norwalk this weekend. Congrats to Kerry Balaska for getting down to 12 cars on Saturday, and Mike Balaska for getting down to 20 yesterday. Always good to see friends from other tracks.

RJ BenishWhere are all the non-mopar guys racing this weekend?

Underdog99Forecast doesn't look good. Quaker has their car show, band deal but no racing. Friday may be OK for the T&T but there's no racing. I may come up just to burn up some fuel and make noise. If I don't get out soon I may forget how to drive. lol

TPatonIs the bracket race during the pro am 1 class? Or box and no box? Thanks
June 30, 2015, 02:58 PM
Lone RangerTom it is after all the pro-am class's and it looks to be all one class seeing pro-am
Cars are allowed to use their set-ups.

TPatonThanks, just wanted to be sure

519MIs PRP going to reschedule the George Race?
July 01, 2015, 09:15 AM
ChuckTTommy, 1 class, all run, no ET break. I think box and no box will be kept separated until they must be combined.
519M, per AJ Casini's posting on Moparts:
Unfortunately none of the open dates at the track later in the year will work out scheduling wise with the other Mopar races in the area.

Yep. Gas + matches = no more issues.
New fuel pump will be here today or tomorrow, we'll see what that does.

TPatonLet me know how that works out.

green1Chuck you don't need a fuel pump to set it o fire just pour the gas on top then stand back and toss a match!
