In the Pro class, I see "footbrake". Does this mean NO trans brakes??
Chapper, Usually in a foot brake class that means that they unhook your trans brake ( if you have one ), and if they catch you using the trans brake, they disqualify you. And the race at MCIR is a quarter mile. 
What's the answer/verdict, Jeff?? Trans brakes or No trans brakes??
NO trans brake in Pro!
We're also on Facebook now; Chrysler Power Classic.
Thanks!
OK guys, I answered that last one a little too quickly. I've been traveling with Goodguys to Denver, MASS, and I'm getting ready to leave for Iowa, so my mind has been elsewhere. I talked to Doug and went back to the old rules to see how we did it in the past. So here it is:
PRO E.T.
All-run event with no E.T. break, double entries ok, buy backs first round, all races ¼ mile. No center steer vehicles, no delay boxes, air/electric shifters permitted, bye runs determined at random by the tower (not us), unused bye runs will not carry over, electronic or other devices may in no way affect throttle operation, TRANSBRAKES PERMITTED, FOOTBRAKE RUN SEPARATE FROM TRANSBRAKE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. Must be Chrysler powered.
Obviously, we all have our own opinion of how drag races should be run. These are, in my opinion, universally accepted rules. I also believe you should NEVER cut the purse. We'll pay 16 cars in Pro, whether we have 2 or 200 cars. I hope you guys come out and have some fun with us.

If it would of been on any other weekend I would probably show up, but since it is scheduled on the same weekend as the Mopower event at Kil-Kare then I will be there instead. 
Last year the Kil-Kare race was in August. I have no idea why they moved it on top of my race. Everybody loses. Well...not everybody.

Jeff, I really hate to say it , but the Warren and Augenstein Hemi 67 Belvedere has a ventilated block and will not be at your July show. We will be there selling parts in the swap meet for the purchase of a new block. Does anyone out there have a Mopar Performance HEMI block for sale. PM me if you do. Thanks, Warren and Augenstein P.S. I heard a rumor that the racers were running for not only trophies and $$$$, but also "Ring Pops".

Patience, my friend. Nobody wants this to work more than me. In fact, I've been trying for over 10 years, after Richard O'Malley retired the KOS. I've tried to put together programs with Andy Mayes, Leon Hudson, Dan Dye, Bondo Bob and now the Chopins. All of the events have been met with limited success. It's not just me. Sieveking, Rockingham and others have also had less than stellar participation. That said, we are all in the same boat with vacation time, fuel costs, family obligations and repairs on the race cars. These issues are unaffected by a huge purse. Post high, no one shows, the purse gets cut; bad deal all around.
Anyway, yes, there will be a cash payout. It will grow based on participation. I'm waiting on a few things, which will be in place by Monday. I'll have all the details here next week, as well as on my website (www.jeffjohnsonmotorsports.com)and on facebook (Chrysler Power Classic.)

Jeff has supported this program for many years and has stuck with it even with the 5-10 car count over the past years. Its a tough deal when you spend a lot of time on this and cars do not show. The names that Jeff drops in his post are not only racers but big fans of this style of racing that have spent time and their own money at trying to make this thing go over the years. We spent some time last year trying to get a good purse together for you guys and the lack of car count hurt. But the purse was still paid out in full as always with Jeffs Events.
Thank you for your support over the years Jeff and Doug
