Chevrolet Performance LSX Challenge Series and LSX Shootout - 2012 Schedule (no, not yet) but...kinda...

Should have it for you in a couple of days. We still are finalizing a few things, as well as a surprise tossed in for good measure. I will tell you this... Bradenton (yes) March 15-18. Indy (Yes) Oct. 11-14.

The rest to come soon.

And no... I don't have any idea on rule changes. I do, however, know they are being discussed.

I saw something on a flyer we got at the world cup that said there will be lsx racing at Mir next year.?

Love a surprise

Scott loves surprises!!!

I saw something on a flyer we got at the world cup that said there will be lsx racing at Mir next year.?

That was just to piss you off. (insert one of those smiley thingys here).

In realty, that was a printing goof. MIR will be HEMIS again this year. (sorry).

Indy (Yes) Oct. 11-14.:thumb:





I saw something on a flyer we got at the world cup that said there will be lsx racing at Mir next year.?Man I sure do hope that that is actually the big surprise. :nod: :cool:

OH YAH.....
I just filled out my vacation form for Indy...:nod:

Need to get with you at PRI Scott....

hell yeah.bradenton.......

Wont be going to bradenton, Just to far to go to have 1 race dropped out of the series for the points. I don't understand it....If you go to all the races spend all that money to go across the country only to get 3 of the 4 races, What is the point on going to all of them. I think if you go to all races you should get all of your points Plus a bonus. I spent a lot of money this year to make all of the races, Only to get beat by some one who only went to 3 of them, And towed to the lanes every time, (Have it on video) Even thou it is illegal to do so. I said and others said something to the tech people and only to be told you can..... When it's in the rules you CAN'T....... Not get pull to the staging lane and then drive in the lanes.

Thanks for the early heads up Scott.

Let's not turn this into a negative deal.

You got a bonus for running all 4 races of 100 points more than Preston. You were less than one round in front in points after bowling green. He won 2 races to that point, you won 1 and r/u. It was a winner take all final at Indy. Why the complaining?

Nice!

I plan to be in the thick of things next season.

Need to get with you at PRI Scott....

That is not the place to find me Keith (just ask Putnam). I'm slammed preparing for the ceremony and other stuff. I'll come off as not having the time to talk to you and/or as a real jerk.

Feel free to call me at the office 714-444-2426 ext 114. That way I can give you more time.

you forgot this line...

More lsx events and west coast races will be coming in future event releases

I was gonna say, only 2 LSX races?

I am sure we can count on a LSX event at the Holley LS Fest. I guess we will find out soon and we will hear about this surprise that Scott mentioned.

I did receive confirmation that LSFest is one of and a fourth is TBD yet

Good news that there will be four events. We will have to wait and see were they will be at and when. Boy oh boy. When I read the two dates the gears were turning in my head. If I were to run the LM EFI, I would use the two LSX events as the two events I would drop for the LM EFI class. I have so many ways to make this work or try to make it work. LOL

Rob don't forget you can run a different car at these races so if it did come to having one conflict, you can try the borrowed car thing but I personally am done with that after last year's fiasco. Too guilt ridden to try that again.

Has any one seen an LSFest date announcement? I went over to that page but did not see it jump out at me.

Aaron Hahn confirmed there will be more than just Bradenton and Indy; should know next week.....

So whats your point here? The tech officials at Indy said it was OK to pull
to the lanes when it was asked so I believe they had the say in this. So how
is it someones fault that they only got to make three events when you made
four and they still won the points. This is heads up racing and someone is
always gonna be faster so deal with it or maybe you should take up bracket
racing and then you can complain about that also. I thought the NMCA ran the
events and done the teching not you.

And i didn't know the techs made up the rules. And i don't think they will just drop the rule in mid season. I didn't cry, Jump up and down, Or protest it. I'm not that GUY!....... BUT RULES ARE RULES.... What's the old saying... If you ain't cheating your loosen or some thing like that.

And for you if ain't winning your crying!!

Hay' I'm not knock-en them or crying. They got there program RIGHT!! I should know.... they been kicking my ASS for years. As I said before they are the ones to beat. I just wish they would step up to DR and run some 7s like i know they can!

That motor has only been a 7.99 one time in the 3rd gen with a lot bigger jet so I don't think they would be competitive in that class nor care to run a drag radial You have to have real deep pockets to run in that class. It might not look like it but they budget race just as many others do in this day and time. BTW are you willing to take 5k for that motor you have if so I may be interested.

7's isn't gonna make the fat lady sing next year.....:devil:

DR is going to be a 7.30-7.50 class in 2012. Based on helping with Andy's car, and also looking at the incrementals from Mike Brown's car, folks can make the power it will be a matter of sticking it.

Has any one seen an LSFest date announcement? I went over to that page but did not see it jump out at me.

Holley will for sure hold the event again in 2012, and my guess is that they'll go with the same weekend again.

7's isn't gonna make the fat lady sing next year.....:devil:

Whoo I hope that vette is out there.

Whoo I hope that vette is out there.

Should run 50's in 1/4 mine did, Like you said testing is the key. 2 years 100+ runs still going. Only guarantees are taxes and death.

DAMN, that make's it hard for the nitrous cars.:secret2: could change the name to turbo radial??lol

I guess there is no word yet on the other LSX dates?

Hopefully we will hear something soon! I'm getting anxious to know.

Can't wait till Bradenton Can't wait !!! In the back yard

No shit that really is a haul for us yankee's

that bull crap in a chef's salad koolrays.

Can there be only 2 dates for the LSX Series? I thought the dates would have been up by now. I thought the dates were going to be published before the PRI show.
Eithere there are only two dates or they will be announced at a later date.

No shit that really is a haul for us yankee's

haha, its not so much the drive, the car is under the knife, it needs to lose some weight and thats not cheap!!!

i just barrowed money to get my shit done.

:jest: taken from personal experience I presume?

so is indy for us. lol fair trade

it got shorter for us as the year went on, florida was 20 hours, georgia was 10, bowling green was 8 and indy was 6

Schedule Announcement? (http://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2011/Dec/11pri/1201_lsx_challenge)

4 Events, same as last year, Bradenton, Atlanta, Bowling Green and Indy

Yeah, what was the big surprise about? Same 4 events are great news, but was waiting for a surprise.

I think the surprise is that it was announced before the PRI show.

I'm glad that the dates are set for the 2012 season, however I am a bit surprised in regard to the Atlanta date. It is set seven weeks later than last year which if you were in Atlanta last year in mid April, it was hot. If you plan on running in Atlanta in June, expect track temperatures to be 150+. MIR or Englishtown would have been a better choice for a June race in my opinion. Either way, I am looking forward to the 2012 season.

Appears the atlanta event is not a NMCA event. Chevy High Performance Nationals, What kind of event is this? Is it like a super chevy show type of event?

I think you're right c keith...it's not a NMCA race or doesn't appear to be. NMCA is still gonna be in Atlanta in April on the 12-15 of next year. Can't find any info on the Chevy High Performance Nationals though???

:jest: taken from personal experience I presume?

lol....

MIR or Englishtown would have been a better choice for a June race in my opinion. Either way, I am looking forward to the 2012 season.

I agree, Memphis would have worked also. I think it is better to move the stuff around, I like going to different tracks.

DR is going to be a 7.30-7.50 class in 2012. Based on helping with Andy's car, and also looking at the incrementals from Mike Brown's car, folks can make the power it will be a matter of sticking it.

This will be the average for 2012. The faster guys will be in the low7's to high 6's. Our chassis will be done by the end of January.

Chris

I kinda doubt that we'll see folks running consistently that quick at these events but that would be cool to see.

Consistant 20's-50's will be the norm this year.

Guys,

The Atlanta date is not an actual NMCA race. For the lack of a better term, it's a stand alone date we are co-promoting with Chevy High Performance Magazine (so you can be assured you'll see familiar faces). Details are still being ironed out -- stay tuned.

so technically, its only 2 NMCA races this year and 2 seperate events?

Sounds absolutely awesome. Thanks for giving us events to race!

The Challenge Series will be held in conjunction with two NMCA events (Bradenton and Indy).

The Holley LS Fest will once again be a stand alone event as it has the past two years.

The upside for you guys is you now (essentially) have two stand alone races. That being said, the Atlanta race will include more than just the LSX Showdown. What other cars, classes, etc., the Atlanta race entails (as mentioned earlier) has yet to be determined.
