Well our gang has too much fun to look for reasons not to go. Getting parked is a pain and will be again this year, Might be chivies & Phords runnin with us,Might snow on us again,might put us all in one class. we have nothin on this end of the US to call ours so til it gets back to the show it started out as we'll deal with it. If you don't support it, It will go away. The only one I didn't attend was when my son Graduated Boot camp. Barring any major event me & my gang will be there again ready for fun. Should be at least 4 of us racing again this year.

Not bashing Dom just making a point. If the current trend for this race continues it will not continue to exist. I understand everyone has things come up or finacial reasons, those are not the folks I am talking too. I am sure you understand that. There are those out there who do not have financial issues coming they done come because they dont like the parking situation, or the fact that other makes are there, or the sometimes less thanb orderly fashion they are parked, or they canot park with all their buddies, or the weather or any one of a number of excuses. Those are the folks I am talking to. I am fairly sure they know who they are. This is one of the biggest payouts we get here on the west coast, I just do not understan why it is not better supported by racers. Since this is the only event of it's kind out here I think we all need to do what we can to support it.
I try to support what I can, contrary to what many seem to think we are not rich just middle class folks like most. We have been a military family for well over 20 years. Anyone can look up what we made, or make. You aint gonna getting rich in a financial way doing that. But you do get to meet some preety awesome folks over the years so I guess in that since we are rich.
Don't know whats not to like about the track itself. It's as good as the best I've seen. Unfortunately, the date interferes with my Firebird ET bracket schedule, but I'm going anyway! Anyone attending in need of a stock, uncut E58 360" crank in good condition, I will bring it along. Price will be right.

This will be our first year at the MATS since we just moved to Vegas in June. Our house is only 5 min from the track and we love racing there. See you all there, and look forward to meeting you all, look for the Red/White Dodge Daytona. We will be there no matter what.

Tom was Q16 all makes last year? Last time I ran at Mats they let any car in or try that was 9.29 or faster IIRC and they didn't have a full field, I was out side looking in with a high 9.30 so just ran SP. If it is 8.40 I know my new motor will not come close to that.
For some reason I thought there was more than a full field last year, but maybe that was the year before. They will let you in at faster than 9.30 and there is no bump. Al might remember.

We had a full field this year but it was a slow field seem to recall the bump was 9.35. I raced the twin to your car in round one Keith, the black Barracuda. IIRC he was dialed 9.33. I was #11 at .40. The year before we had a full field with a bump of 8.70 something, had 24 cars in 11 and I think 19 in 2012. Quick 16 is supposed to remain Mopar only from what I was told. Also hear the Vettel's are coming back to run Q16 as well. At least that was what they are planning after we spoke recently.
It does suck that once again they have it schedule on a wekend that others have team races. Especially in FIrebirds case as it is their last for the time being. I know a couple of years go they scheduled it same weekend as a divisonal race and if that were to happen I would miss the MATS for sure.

Is your car slower at Woodburn in July or Vegas in March? 
Slower in March in Vegas, but only by .050 or something. You should be able to qualify there for Q16.
