Good, everyone's got to start somewhere, and the G8, although real heavy, can be made to fly. A converter and some gears will put a smile on his face, along w/Don's tuning. Just get him to the track for seat time. WJ

It's a racing event where they have 4 different classes of index racing.

8.50
9.50
10.50
11.50

Sometimes they have a 7.50 class if enough people enter

The goal is to get as close as to your index without going faster and getting there before the other racer.

I'll be racing in the 10.50 class this season, and Don and other LS1tech guys will be in the 11.50 class. Noyzee usually runs either 8.50 or 9.50

Last year 454mag won the 11.50 class

Dont be surprised if it snows,its happened in early april before, be carefull at the 1000ft mark,it sometimes get real slippery from the runoff, The track prepping is usually pretty good. The pits are sometimes soggy from the thawing,

Lets just hope everyone runs hard and SAFE......
