Anyone following this? Looks interesting.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully more cars are being built. Brainerd is supposed to be one of the tracks where they are running in 2023. Should be cool to see.

Going to be a cool class.. Geoff Turk is one smart guy and I am sure " Blackbird" will be flying .. but I am afraid the class will be like all the others .. once the Dodge starts flying and winning the Chevy and Ford guys will start crying like they always do and the Dodge will get restricted out of being competitive

Not sure how many cars are being built for sure. I know some of the big names who have been running Shootout cars are selling and getting out of that deal all together. My guess is it will become just another class in Comp and if you live outside of D4 whats the bother. At least down there they are actually treating those guys right thanks to Roger Brogden.

2,650 lbs and a 33x10.5 tire and stick trans only - should be cool.
I hadn't thought about lightweighting them, but it's been apparent to me for some time that putting some tire under them would be great.
I've mentioned before that this could be like PS back when the cars were real.
NHRA always screws this kind of thing up, but the 1st year or two should be good.

This is going to be a fun class to watch, I like the rules for the bodies. It would be great to see AJ in one. drive

Isn’t his son racing in one of these classes. I thought I heard that this week.

Don't know, I'll have to check on it. A while back I watched an interview with Roy and he said Allen's son was bracket racing, a S-10 I think.
