Its in the plans however not a done deal yet, still working on it.

Me, MATS, no stop, Q16?

Yeah Q16 behind me . you'll be 16 and I will be 15 LOL

Come on down guys, water is fine...Oh yeah you cannot let a Super Street car out qualify you in Q16 can you

What is the bump in the Q16 at the MATS? EDIT: Ok see the bump now. my crap box I would bring this year wouldn't make it even if it was pushed off a cliff.

Well registration that just opened up says 8.53 and quicker for Q16 , I think I will be a few ponys short in that altitude.#1 qualifier in S/Pro isn't to bad Have done that before. Really wanted in the Q16 though. Maybe some laughing gas is in the near future LOL

The information I just read still shows the cut off as being 9.25 and if you cant make the show.. then you get a refund and enter into either Super Pro or Pro..

Sounds like a cant lose situation...

EDIT

I now see the 8.53 or faster.. its not until you click on a different page.. But I would still try to enter into Q16.. even if you dont make the cut, you get preferred parking..

I dont think the bump has been that fast in at least three years. Maybe at some point and time it was but not recently. But if a S/ST car can run that

Al we all know thats not you average S/ST Car let me borrow those heads and intake then we are talking

We have always made it in the show. The key is, at least in the past they have taken the 16 fastest cars. Last year was a good example. IMO if you can run ANYWHERE in the 8's you will likely be safe.

Oh yeah, give me a light car and I would be very happy. Not slugo the fat Cuda like I have now. We have been discussing just running the Hot Street car in Q16 just for kicks instead

I wish I could play................

Al I hope you weren't implying my car was light ? Iam right with you on the slugo heavy car. I too wish I had one of those Light round tube cars, then I could race T/S, one of these days it'll happen just need the right buyer that has to have an 8 sec Cuda'

No not implying anything. Just wish my bucket o bolts did not weigh so much so I could run TS with it Also so I was not on the slow side of the Q16 ladder too. Although it has worked out well the last few years for me I hear ya on the buyer part. Although mine was sold and the wife axed the deal, was told I cannot sell it.

Keith, yes you can enter more than one class, or at least I now plenty of people who have anyway. S/Pro runner up last year ran in the Mopar V the world as well in his Camaro, yes GM and Ferds were allowed in Pro and S/Pro last year. Something about it not saying they could not was what I heard.

Not sure why you guys are sweating the Q16 thing. I am not sure the BUMP has ever been 8.53 for the race. Even if you dont make it you get refunded the money, plus you get good times for qualifying. Not like being a super street racer and being treated like the red headed step child and running at 8 am..

Heads up car on the stop...Yeah we are really thinking the national event in S/C will be a good place to test it. Just making 1/8 mile hits and killing it. We are under the 9.05 index doing that will have to come up with a strategy maybe

You're silly Al..

Mine just might run 8's @ Vegas.. Not sure..

May have to try the wide open NO throttle stop deal..


Chris..

Gonna have to call 'em I guess. If it's 9.25 we'll probably make the drive. If it's 8.53 I'll spend my vacation money somewhere else.

I know they have a cap on it to keep every tom , dick & harry signing up that are not even close to being a Q16 car but when I was last there there were a total of 13 cars in the show and yes they had a 9.25 cap on, had they not I would of gladly ponied up my $250 to run as I was running mid 9.30's at the time, I for one would love to be on the slow side of the ladder for a shot at one of those triple shot NOS or turbo'ed cars that are lucky if they can cut a light or even come close to there dial. Sorry but 1/2 of the top part of the field usually have no idea how to bracket race because that is not there usual gig!
Having only 13 cars in that field is ridiculous! Hopefully they can get a full field of sub 9 second cars and I will be on the fence watching, Super pro, Mopars vs the World and any other bonus race they throw at us is just a BONUS to help make this a profitable weekend, one thing I do know is it will be fun regardless, see you all in the lanes. I know there should be quite a few more than normal making the venture down this year due to the new dates.
