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?
