Larry,
The online entry form is now updated and has "Stick" as a class to circle for entry.

Gus,
Per:
Rule 12034053.A-1: Any pre 66 vehicle may not use a 2 step, driver also must wear a tuxedo t-shirt.









Naah, just messing with yah. Two steps are fine, just no CO2 clutch pedals or that type of stuff.

See you there. Thanks Andre for getting this going.

My son and I will be driving out in the Dart, with all our camping gear and stuff, plus a tow hitch carrier on the back with my race tires.....Drag Week style!

Man, I hope it's a go. I've sent my money in and have my camping reservations all set. My experiences with the "Nat's" personnel have NEVER been a good one. Total apathy, it seems, for anything associated with a manual transmission and racing.

The race is a go. What Rick is referring to is we were trying to get him on as the title sponsor for the event. Initially I used Irwin Race Engines, a buddy of mine, as the logo just to get him some publicity. When Rick wanted to come onboard the Nats was contacted in an event to try and change stuff over. Long story short is no return emails, and I buy the Mopar Mag and it has the IRE as title.

Just disappointed as I told Rick I could get this accomplished and it didnt happen. Rick will have the Stickshift challenge shirts for the participants and the trophy.

Congrats to 6bblFLASH on the win. 10.094 on a 10.09 dial to take home the cash.

Stupid me went .018 red in semi's or we'd have a brother vs brother final. Oh well, I had a blast and he'd have been bummed when little brother took his money with a car I've owned for 4 months and only raced twice......

Thanks Andre for sponsoring it! See you next year

Thank you to all that raced. Hopefully it was fun. Here's some photos. I have video of in car with oldiron, just waiting on approval.

Larry's-I thought your video initially looked ok, but you both turned the camera on right at the end of the run and down the return road. Sucks, that would be some cool video. Hopefully another event and we'll get it.

Thanks again for all you did Andre. My son and I can't thank you enough. You, Greg and Rick are awesome. We had a great time even though there were some adversities that had to be dealt with over the weekend.

Understood. I am "electronics" challenged, to be sure. Maybe next time?

Trophy is making it way thru Ohio...






That trophy is sitting here beside me at my computer
This is by far the COOLEST trophy I have!!!
Would have ran just as hard to win just the trophy It is my "Wally".

Winning is always fun,but this one really suprised me. This weekend was the only time I ran the car in competion this year and struggled to make a good run. Driving an 18-speed all night then a 4spd Jerico in the daylight really has me off my game.
But better LUCKY than good
MANY Thanks to Andre and Rick,as well as the track staff and workers that helped us sort out some things.
I also won the 100-dollar bonus for best reaction time in eliminations.
AND my wife thru me a birthday party at the track Saturday before eliminations.
Racing my brother in the finals would have been ICING on the cake.
Did`nt work-out but Mark made a HUGE leap forward in his driving ,,,,,,,,,,,so watch-out.

I hope to find a way to run Norwalk next month
