Thanks for the question! All the info is on the flyer attached below.

What are the times for qualifying and eliminations for the Hemi shootout? I see the flyer says open time trials at 9am, Hemi shootout at 5PM. Is 5PM the first round of eliminations for the shootout or the final eliminations time? Are there schedule qualifying runs for the Hemi cars as a group.

Sorry for the questions, but this is my first time at this even so I have no idea how it is run/scheduled and I'm trying to figure out when I need to be there and when the actual race/time trials will happen for family in the area who aren't used to being at the track all day.

Thanks again. Looking forward to being there on Sat.

-Matt

The first round of the shootout is at 5pm, give or take. There will be some time trials during the day.

There is also an additional Hemi race on Sunday, which pays another $1K to win.

Glad to have you there. Thanks for the support.

Question - do they sell 110 race fuel at the track?


Thanks,
Russ

yes. They sell a lot of different brands of VP, 110 is among them. Not a problem.

Here is other information regarding the events of the weekend...

There will indeed be a second Hemi race on Sunday. I recieved this email from the track manager.

I have clarified the hemi class on Saturday is the Hemi Showdown with free entry. The Hemi class on Sunday is entry $90, winner $1000, R/U $500, Semi’s $75. There will be a complete race for all classes on Saturday, as well as, a complete race for all classes on Sunday.

We will be at the track until probably midnight Friday night. It should be no problem getting people in.

Let me know if there is any other confusion or questions.
