Probably can't run with them big dogs up there. But I need to really try to make this race because I owe a little pay back to that ole red bird on top of the page from a couple of years ago.

To the guys who were asking me, the listing does say eliminations will be run Saturday night:

GM High Tech Performance Magazine & NOS - Shut Your Face Race

Who is the fastest on a 275 radial? GM High-Tech Performance is hosting the fourth Shut Your Face Race to see who can hook on a small tire. The rules are simple and wide open, bring your LS door-slammer to Bowling Green no matter what the combination. Best of all, this race will not interfere with the LSX points series, so you can run this class in addition to other classes at the event. Eliminations will be held Saturday night, so bring a set of 275 radials and put your money where your mouth is. Race or simply watch the action, as the fastest small tire LS cars go heads-up in the eighth-mile and stop all the internet trash talk.
I will say, I know of a few non-GM bodied cars that would fit this class, wonder if they are thinking about coming... Mustang bodies, etc.

I would have to say 70s are a great possibility if the good folks at Beech Bend aren't so stingy with compound and prep. Would be awesome to see side by side runs instead of smoke and pedal fests.

Steve is a first class racers and a great competitor. It was an honor to set in the lane next to him!
I look forward to next year when the target is on my back instead of Brian's. I think this class had the tightest qualifying times. It was really anyones race to win.

I'm glad that target is gone from my back

Unfortunately I brought a knife to a gun fight....looking forward to next year already
