Nat's say that they can't get any sponsors. Passon says that they were never contacted again, and he is "fed up" with the whole thing. He is out.

Im in with that! if i wasn't so miserable with row'in gears I would have one in my car. Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

As Loboda says "Automatics are unwatchable"! Andre I remember when you came up to the Firecore50 trailer at the nats last year and I was excited to hear there was some interest in sponsoring the class I don't think I will be working the nats this year so I will have time to race Gus 7637647-5434258-READY2.JPG (80 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

More power to ya' Stick racing does push all your "MAN" buttons (well most of them anyway) 10 years ago when I was racing all season I used a 2-step on the mat, car was WAY more consistent than old school "on the mat and let it fly" Gus 7637727-savoyburnout.jpg (71 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

Andre, I hope you're on top of this. I was passing along info that I had received first hand from the people I mentioned. Like everyone that has participated in the STICK SHIFT class in the past, I really enjoy it. When do you think something will be firmed up? Will you post info here on MOPARTS? 4 speed street legal.

I just didn't want to bring it up until confirmed. It is an important race I feel to have at the Nats, and has been a lot of fun in the past and something I think a lot of people look forward too. If it all works out the idea is: Winner $1000 R/U $300 3/4 place $75 Best RT- Set of Firecore wires ($100 value est) There will be a trophy, lets say something with some nostalgia and if I get time, t-shirts for participants only.

Thanks Andre I've been racing at the nats stick race since the begining.. But, after buying a LQ trailer i have no intention of paying for a hotel room. any chance of taking it to the monster mopar shows? The same could be done at MMW Norwalk if Josh wanted. I tried to get something for Indy last year but my timing was late and I think Josh was super busy as is. Having 16 cars pre-register I doubt will happen at any event. In the Midwest I know of maybe 8-10 cars that will likely show at an event. Like the Nats a good majority are just going to come from the random guy with a hotter street car/neon/viper etc... That pay as they enter the gate. Too, thanks to Greg(oldiron) I see the purse going up. Thank you.
