Do you have enough interest to make it a 16 car field yet? ? If I go by what people "say" - yes, but I am sticking with the 8 car feild and feel pretty good about 12+ trying to qualify for it. We shall see how many people follow through. They wanted an 8 car show and that is what I plan to deliver. It also keep the purse money up there. |

I have done everything I can to give ALL of the qualifiers an equal shot at winning. For example - One of the slowest qualifiers is going to the semis. Everybody has a chance.  |

I take it, with this new class at Irwindale, there will be no Quick-16, just T-1 ?
That is OK, I will enter T-1, if my street car was a low 6, I would enter your class.
PS I also like your ladder system.

After continued conversations with Ron Fleming, we have decided the class will be named
Outlaw Turbo the are some good reasons for this - trust me.
Also, there will be at LEAST two qualifying passes. We are trying for three but entry count and track "issues" will dictate what we can do.
I have been assures that the track will be prepped and taken care of for this class.
Good luck to all!

EXACTLY! Gee, how about having a race where the racers can actually MAKE some money? Not such a novel idea but my heart is in the right place. |
