June 15-17 - PA - Curt George “All Mopar” Memorial

Might have the steam for Q16...right Bob??

Whats Pro pay? 2 separate races?

Bob, How about a Stock, Super Stock combo. Class racers like to race too.

Some Hemi guys have indicated they plan on towing in for the Saturday Hemi Showdown...thanks, guys, the more the merrier. Of course, there will be the regulars, like myself, Bob, and Ronnie, but the more the merrier. It is not necessary to pre enter. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Do any of the fiberglass vendors go to this event ?
Thanks!

Is there any chance of pre-registering.

Contact the track.All their information is on their website.Jamie Tedesco can answer any questions

Thanks Bob see u there (SHORT HORSE RACING

Is the hemi shootout just a regular bracket race for specific cars?

What does dial to the nearest tenth mean? Does it mean I always have to dial with a "0" in the hundreths? i.e 8.90 instead of 8.93? Can you change your dial round to round?

Your dial in must end with a zero...which does mean you have to dial to the nearest tenth, up or down, your choice.

A lot of these guys are Nostalgia Super Stock racers, and that is the reason for the format. Most of the NSS races on the east coast use that format. It levels the playing field from the professional bracket "killers" out there...and makes it much like the old NHRA National events where you ran off an NHRA class index which always did end in a zero. In general, it forces full passes and discourages brake light contests in the big end.

Thanks for the question....hope this clears it up.

I have to say thankyou as I've traveled to everyone from the begining, only once not racing at the event.The last few have been the only race that I could attend for the entire summer.Grew up at "KEYSTONE",worth the trip.Again thanks to all for making it happen !

This could get real interesting. It will be fun!

We have a rules clarification we'd like to address.

1965 Altered Wheelbase B bodies clones welcome, even original AWB if someone has the hootzpa to run one. Electronic assisted fuel injection permitted on those cars as long as it appears and functions as the original 65 A/FX units.

My friends at Accuweather in State College guarantee good weather, so be there or be square!!

never been to one... looks like a blast!

Steve,
Donny Martik feels slighted that you didn't include him in the "Original Bob George Hemi Dart" on your list.He not only will be running in the Hemi Showdown but is challenging me to a match race. I will have a surprise for him

Well, we'll just fix that. I'm heartbroken that my friend Donny feels that we slighted him.

Match race, eh? I'll start checking with my bookie to see the early line...

I am seriously considering coming to the event since it is a short drive and only one day.

Is a four speed with a two-step legal? I'm assuming "no electronics" means no delay boxes, but I would like to confirm before deciding to attend.

Can you change your dial between rounds as long as it ends in a "0"?

Thanks,
Matt Welker

Bob,
Can you clear one thing up for me? I can only make it out for Friday due to family activities. I was going to come out and Test and Tune on my Dart and bring my son along to check things out.

Can I just enter and pay for one day of Test and Tune on Friday? If so, how much?

PRP's website says "No Test and Tune" for Friday. The Flyer has weekend prices and $20 on Friday, but I think that's to enter the Gambler's race.

Thanks Bob,

Larry

Yes to both. Two steps, four speeds are just fine. No delay boxes, matte boxes, and stuff like that.

You can change you dial, but it still has to end with a zero. That gives a tenth (or two) either way, up or down.

This is a fun race, and we will use generally accepted NSS rules found in the northeast. Dialing to the nearest tenth generally creates more all out racing. A tenth difference is a lot to make up, either way, and it levels the playing field from the bracket "sharks" who tune everything with a computer. Everyone is as competitive as anyone else....it gives us geezers as good a shot as the young guys!

Hope to see you there, Matt.

Thanks. Going to try and make it.

-Matt

Great!!

It'll be a good time...looking forward to seeing you.

Steve,
Add Greg Robinson,68 Hemi Dart,Ohio to the growing list

Thanks Bob,...is there anyway I can find out for sure? When this was run by the Blankenships, every year there was tons of confusion at the gate. I got a lot of "attitude" from the gate workers and felt like I was trying to rob the place. I just don't want to go through that if I show up and ask to just T&T.

Thanks,

Larry

I can't speak for anyone else's "attitude", but I can speak for Bob, Ronnie & myself...and everyone else involved.

Let's make this a fun deal....have some fun hanging with the other racer guy and gals, and just enjoy messing around with our cars. I've long since given up the idea of making money at this, and if I want to be aggravated I'll go to work, so let's have some fun.

Yup, I'm not talking about any of you guys. Bob's been great to me over the years.

I just like being a little in the background at these things. I'm not a "racer". I don't even have a dedicated race car. I just like to play with my toy. I try to not disrupt what's going on.

I could surely go to the Test and Tune the night before, but it's more fun to do it with fellow mopar guys, if possible.

Larry,
Just come up Friday and if anyone says anything just ask for me.Friendship goes a long way here in BGR country.

Good enough for me Bob.

Thanks,

Bob I see that there is no car show , but had some friends contact me about coming to the hemi shoot out on sat. Will there be a spot roped off if they drive there show cars out or will they have to park in the regular parking area?

Just saw the weather report for June 15 to 17 for Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. Looks like no chance of rain,Temps in the mid 80s. Thats as good as it gets for this area, a great forcast!!!

Thanks Bob I will let them know

How much for spectator entry? Planning on bringing the wife, two little kids, and maybe my brother in law.

_"How much for spectator entry? Planning on bringing the wife, two little kids, and maybe my brother in law."

Thanks for the question! All the info is on the flyer attached below.

What are the times for qualifying and eliminations for the Hemi shootout? I see the flyer says open time trials at 9am, Hemi shootout at 5PM. Is 5PM the first round of eliminations for the shootout or the final eliminations time? Are there schedule qualifying runs for the Hemi cars as a group.

Sorry for the questions, but this is my first time at this even so I have no idea how it is run/scheduled and I'm trying to figure out when I need to be there and when the actual race/time trials will happen for family in the area who aren't used to being at the track all day.

Thanks again. Looking forward to being there on Sat.

-Matt

The first round of the shootout is at 5pm, give or take. There will be some time trials during the day.

There is also an additional Hemi race on Sunday, which pays another $1K to win.

Glad to have you there. Thanks for the support.

Question - do they sell 110 race fuel at the track?


Thanks,
Russ

yes. They sell a lot of different brands of VP, 110 is among them. Not a problem.

Here is other information regarding the events of the weekend...

There will indeed be a second Hemi race on Sunday. I recieved this email from the track manager.

I have clarified the hemi class on Saturday is the Hemi Showdown with free entry. The Hemi class on Sunday is entry $90, winner $1000, R/U $500, Semi’s $75. There will be a complete race for all classes on Saturday, as well as, a complete race for all classes on Sunday.

We will be at the track until probably midnight Friday night. It should be no problem getting people in.

Let me know if there is any other confusion or questions.
