The 2015 Stickshift Challenge will again be Aug 7-9 this year at the Mopar Nationals, as always. A big Thank You to Brewers Performance for stepping up again this year.
Similar to years past Aug 7(Fri) will be time trials, and the Challenge ran on Saturday.
Two time trials saturday morning and then into eliminations. Thank you to all those that came in years past and I look forward to seeing everyone again this year.
Bring your 9second clutchless ride, or hell rent a dart from Hertz so long as it has a stick!!!

Payout:
Winner $1000
R/U $500
Semis $100

The winner will also receive a Brewers Performance $500 gift certificate.
The R/U will also receive a Brewers Performance $250 gift certificate.

If a factory style 4/5/6 speed is in the final, thats a $100. (Each of the last two years has had a factory trans in the final).
A case of oil will also be given to best R/T in 1st round of elims.

I am also working on a number of other prizes/gift cards etc to other vendors that may be by drawing, best wheelstand or something-we'll figure em out.

So bring out your stickshift ride and have some fun. This is a laid back event, they'll be free t-shirts again for participants, a custom trophy and plenty of lies told!

Little update.
Thanks again to Brewers they bumped it to $250 cash for a factory trans in the final.

So far $2800 in purse and bonuses with more to come.
Thanks Wayne & Dan

wow Dennis, good looking...............cars

Andre, great job and thanks for your efforts. Will be there

I didn't do that well, but still had a lot of fun. Maybe my new combo will be installed by then and I'll do it again(I thought I would have a new combo last year for it but I keep hitting road blocks).
The trophy last year looked awesome and the shirts were really nice too!!

Just over 2 months.
Be sure to send in your pre-entry to save a little but of money.

Thanks guys.

Now just one week away. As long as it's got a stick bring it out and have fun.

My dad decided to enter stick instead of trophy with is 68 Satellite this year, he's pretty excited. I'm sure he'll have a blast, he ran his first UMTR race a few weeks ago at Milan and loved it even tho he went out first round. We can't wait for this, hope to see everyone there.

will be THERE

Good luck all, I won't be making up there at all this year. Should be there next year with the new combo. Be safe and have fun.

Pic of this years trophy, as well as the shirts. Every drivers gets a shirt like years past, usually I'll just catch you in the lanes. Good luck all.

Don't forget to stop by the Brewer's tent and say thanks to Wayne and Dan, or buy some parts from em.

So, do these t shirts come with a pocket, or at least a DIY pocket kit?

I stapled a zip lock baggy on the front then you can even see what's in the pocket.

SNAZZY!

Congrates to oldiron again. Two years in a row he brought home the gold for the Stick Shift Challenge at the NAT's. From what I understand, 68shifter came in second. Congrates to Andre also and thanks again for all he did to make this race happen.

Two good guys for sure..

Larry

Yep,,, watched it unfold.

All blue Barracuda` final.
Nice driving on both sides congrats...

Thank you to everyone that showed up and ran and or just hung out. Sure was hot this year, and had to live with the schedule getting bumped all over the place.

Congrats to oldiron(Greg) on his second consecutive win. He also took home the $500 Brewers gift card.

We started with just over 20 cars on Friday, but due to breakage and other things 17 made first round call Saturday. Brand new challengers to newer darts to our old cudas and chargers. Pretty good array of cars.

Thanks again, pleasure to race with all of you.
Now here's a couple pics.

Congrats Greg, you sure can bang those gears!! My dad had a blast racing with you guys! Thanks again to Andre for putting together an awesome class. Hopefully we'll see everyone next year it's too bad this class isn't put on at more Mopar events.

If there are two things that I came to the Nationals for this year was to watch the F.A.S.T gang and the stick and stones guys rowing the boats. What a final.
I had my money, yeah, $$ on 68shifter but the other Sapphire Cuda came through. Congrats and thanx for the memories and cheer.

I was out there all 3 days. I only managed to see the stick shift cars once. The schedule seemed real haphazard. A comment on the annoncer. He seemed very bored and dry. Very little info on the cars no excitement. I was also talking to several venders and they said the contract was up and the Nats may be moving to Norwalk.

I will be back there in 2 weeks for the Northern Class Nationals. 3 days of Stock,Super/Stock racing. Hopefully it will be cooler and my sunburn healed by then.
