Hagerstown Stk/SS/NSS race Nov 2-3 - 10/30/13 03:11 PM

Hey Folks,
Just as a heads up Mike Carr is having one of his tristate stock/super stock combo races this weekend (sat and sun) at Mason Dixon in Hagerstown. They're a great group to run with so if you have a stocker, super stocker or nostalgia super stocker it may be a good last hurrah before winter sneaks up on us! The details are below:

Annual Lee Sherman Memorial Stock/Super Stock Races

Saturday-Sunday November 2-3
Mason-Dixon Dragway, Hagerstown MD (1/4 mile races)
Track is on US 40, approximately 5 miles east of I-70 exits 32
All NHRA and IHRA-legal S/SS cars, as well as Nostalgia/SS welcome


Weekend Schedule:

Friday November 1: parking for early arrivals (parking goes all day/night)
~
Saturday November 2nd:
Gates open: 11 am
Test and Tune: 1pm-6pm ($30 paid to track)
S/SS Race, $50 entry, Round 1: Approximately 3 or 3:30 pm
Crew/spectators: $10
For racers there who are not testing or racing, $10
Annual Racer Dinner: 7:30 pm, Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon (or Western Sizzler)

Test and tune is not called up in sessions. You just go to the lanes when you want to make a pass. Traditionally, lanes 1-2 are for S/SS, 3-4 for street tire cars, 5-6 are for slick tire cars. Around 3:00 or 3:30 pm, we will call for S/SS round 1 to the lanes (they will likely empty the lanes of T-n-T cars to make room for S/SS and for Gamblers race cars, then re-open test and tune after 2nd round. Cars that lose in S/SS may continue to make test runs as long as T-n-T goes on (usually til the final of S/SS). Cars are pulled side-by-side (lane 1 runs lane 2).

S/SS race random pairing for round 1. Bye-run chosen at random. Cars laddered by reaction time for second round. Tie-breaker is closest to the dial. If still a tie, whoever did it first will receive the higher spot on the ladder (if two drivers win with an .017 light and +.021 over their dial-in, whoever did it first receives the higher spot).
~
Sunday November 3rd:
Gates open: 10 am
Time trials: 12 pm (two runs)
Eliminations: after time trials (also Electronics and Footbrake classes
S/SS Race, $100 entry (plus $10 tech card fee paid to track)
Crew/spectators: $10
Also 1/8 mile races for Electronics ($60) and Footbrake ($50). S/SS WILL be ¼ mile (quarter-mile)
* SUNDAY RACE GUARANTEED $2,000 TO WIN (OR MORE) *

Random pairing for round 1. Best reaction time during the second time trial receives the bye run. Cars laddered for round 2 based on round 1 reaction times.

All NHRA and IHRA legal S/SS cars welcome. No heads-up runs. All cars must dial the Index or quicker (using IHRA Index. SS/AA 9.95, A/SA 11.30, etc).
Nostalgia/SS dial in to the hundredth and can change their dial between rounds. Cars allowed, are based on NMCA, 422 All-Stars, etc rules.

Cars do NOT need to make a bye run or take the tree. A racer with a bye may return to their pit, or remain in the lanes if in a round-robin situation, their choice.


Both races 100% payback. Both races start third round loser, 3rd round loser gets their entry fee back.

Not counting contingency, no NHRA or IHRA race anywhere can approach that. And, as always, the more cars we get = the bigger the purse = the higher the payouts.

I'm heading there myself, as a spectator. Not sure about Saturday yet, but Sunday for sure. I go every year. Pretty nice event. I was on class racer .com days ago and was reading that there possibly may be a better turn out as the Dutch classic at Maple Grove was cancelled do to weather weeks ago and last year the hurricane in the Northeast kept racers away to.From what I gather that a few may make the trip to MD for this event.
