After months of painstaking work, long meetings, and with the agreement of some of the absolute best minds in motorsports, here is the initial information regarding the Hemi part of the Curt George Memorial at Pittsburgh Raceway Park June 15-17. The Hemi portion will be run in it's entirety on Saturday, June 16.

Hemi Showdown rules

Saturday, June 16, 2012 Pittsburgh Raceway Park, New Alexandria, Pa.
Presented by Bud’s Auto Sales, Beaverdale, Pa.
Part of the Curt George Memorial MoPar weekend.

Generation II (426 series) Hemi only
A, B, or E full bodied cars
Carburetors or Manual Fuel Injection

Thanks to Bud's Auto Sales for stepping up to the plate and sponsering this"Hemi Shootout"
Thanks also to the associate sponsers that have supported the Curt memorial race for all these years and the Tedesco family for allowing it to continue.We had many offers to move this race but since this was Curt's home track and the Tedesco family are like our second family and supported this race since the beginning it was an easy decision to keep the race at PRP.
Thanks everyone,
Respectfully
Bob

After hearing about the last couple of class racing ventures it sounds like they were nothing short of a bracket race.Class racers are more than welcome to test their skills against the "adverage bracket racers."
After chasing their tails for years,it can't be too embarrassing for them to hide in thier trailors after getting their azz smacked by a "adverage bracket racer"
Lets look at a class win on adverage most 2 or 3 cars compete excluding the SS/AH that bring out almost a dozen cars.Now look at a adverage bracket race starting with Quick 16, then S/P and Pro that number over double digits at any given event,sometimes in the 100s.A "adverage bracket racer" must prevail in a multitude of races sometimes an adverage of 5 to 10 in one day and usually end up running round robin in the later rounds for a win

Is the hemi shootout just a regular bracket race for specific cars?

What does dial to the nearest tenth mean? Does it mean I always have to dial with a "0" in the hundreths? i.e 8.90 instead of 8.93? Can you change your dial round to round?

Your dial in must end with a zero...which does mean you have to dial to the nearest tenth, up or down, your choice.

A lot of these guys are Nostalgia Super Stock racers, and that is the reason for the format. Most of the NSS races on the east coast use that format. It levels the playing field from the professional bracket "killers" out there...and makes it much like the old NHRA National events where you ran off an NHRA class index which always did end in a zero. In general, it forces full passes and discourages brake light contests in the big end.

Thanks for the question....hope this clears it up.
