Who all is racing this year ?

Who all is racing and what classes ?

[nxtruck]

Unless there are any KOTS events around here, I guess I'll probably just hit some test 'n' tunes this year.

[Marv D]

Were headed into race #4 of ADRA here in a couple weeks. I missed one race, broke a starter at one going into the 2nd round, and went out 1st round at one. Not been a stellar season for me, but somehow I'm in the middle of the pack at #19. Think I'm going to get the Nova chassis recerted and go make some points and try to make it back into the top 10 before the summer break. Only have 6 more races before shutting down for the summer, then will have only 2 races starting in Oct to play catch-up.

You coming back to DuQuoin this year? If so, I'd still love to see your truck make a few passes at Benton ... LoL last year was a joke ...

[low&slow]

Not sure what class I'll be in, but I'll be making a few passes this summer. Most likely just test n tunes. Maybe a few club races. As soon as I get a new front window, I'll be ready.

[hotrod 80]

Seems like we are gonna get a few of the big money bracket races down here in Texas this year . Im going to try and hit as many of those as possible also .

[scatesracing]

I hope to get out to a couple heads up events at our local track before the end of the year... My spring and early summer are going to be busy putting in a yard ,sprinklers, fenceand all that good stuff on the new house.

Hey Doug!
Yeah, I'll be at Duquoin again this year. If they do something at the track again, I'm sure we'll give that a try again, too. Hopefully the weather will be a little more cooperative this year.
How's your truck coming along?

[71Dragtruck]

I will be, I race in the pro class at couple of NHRA tracks.

[outlaw 3454]

Hotrod are you going to the April 5th Truck shootout race ? I plan on going. Also hope weather is good and will go this Friday. Just finished up with a cam change and more port work on heads and put motor back on dyno. Hope to be 10.0-10.20 on motor now.

I believe im scheduled to work that weekend . I am running IHRA in Sealy this weekend and the spring cha ching in Pine Valley the following weekend . The april 5th would be the last race for me for a while and i was intending to do the motor swap and start testing . I should be 10ish with the new combo on motor .

I'll be running portions of the NMCA schedule (the close ones) and I also have been running a "Renegade Racing" all motor series which alternates between Thompson Ohio and Norwalk. NMCA will be the "Nostalgia Muscle Car" category and Renegade has a 10.50 index that is a bit slow for me but a good fit otherwise.

This will be my 36 consecutive year running this same car.

Maybe you can get it in the nines on motor that would be cool.
I have considered going to one of those races but was concerned about track prep with all the street tires. And judging from what I have seen and read about the last one you might have to leave a guard at your trailer while you racing....lol

Hotrod now that I am in TX I will have to make a trip down that way.

I went to one of the first ones and it was as you posted , a bit wild . I understand the last couple have been alot more organizered . The street tires are hard on the track . I would be happy to be in the 9's on motor , but dont want to deal with all the SFI stuff . 10.0 would make me one of the fastest NO-E cars at my home track .

Absolutely , If you ever see my truck at any track come up and introduce yourself . I never met a stranger . I see your in Keller . TX , you haqve plenty of nice tracks around you .

Keith , i have seen your car before , possible a Mag feature or Yellowbullet , or both . 36 years in the same car you should have a good handle on it . This will only be my 3rd year with this truck and im about to change it again .

Im glad i started this thread . Bunch of good guys here that enjoy racing like i do .

Going to make a couple trips to track with new combo then change convertors. Current one is tight 9" TransKing 4,000 for spray. Looking at a Pro Edge 9" @ 4,800-5,000 and should put me real close to 9.90 on motor.

IDK , the last one rained out and i have the tickets in the truck so it would be free . Ill probably be in Pine Valley for the Spring CHachin race . Was considering putting 150 in the plate and running 5.80 Index though .
