The rules look like they are chevy orientated. I won't be going.

The race is set up with best 2 of 3 shootouts. No one wins any money, just having a great time seeing a car show in motion!!!!

I'll be there with a big group from Indiana. Bring your stock musclecar and have a great time. Race against a car that has very close ET's to yours.

The cars are supposed to be as they were shipped by the big 3 .So how does that make it lean to give any make a advantage.I guess you shouldn't go you might have a good time like everybody else does.

A few things that help the bowtie boys would be 2.5 exhaust and ignition systems.But I wouldn't say it is a Chevy race

They are allowed rocker valvetrain mods...
They should have to run "bone stock"..
Actually I would go if I could($$) but the other issue for me is I would have to run log manifolds, and you can forget that.

I agree, they should have to run bone stock.

As for the manifolds, there are alot of other log manifolds that are run. Suck it up!!!!

That is part of the coolness of this event. You work on getting the car to run as hard as you can. Not everyone is going to be a 11- 12 second car. There are several guys running 14-15 seconds. You are paired with the person that is closest to you in time. Often 2 are within .1 seconds and you run a best 2 of 3. The launch is often the difference, but some guys are soft on a launch (4-speed small blocks) that come on like a storm at the big end. Where else are you going to see a '58 Ford Y-block with a blower run against a '69 AMX 4-speed???

Enough A-12 cars to make you think they were at every dealership, Hemi's, 440-6's , LS-6 Chevelles, Z-28's, 429 Cobra Jet Torinos, Cougar Elimators, GTO Judges, 442's. All of them running hard down the strip, looking like they just rolled off the showroom floor!!!
