If you have a Bolt on only LT1 COME IN! Exciting stuff inside!
 

A little pre info if you have been under a rock all year...

The 4th Annual National LTX Shootout is coming up in September in Bowling Green Kentucky and in addition to this year's shootout there is a brand new very fun, easy to enter, competitive heads up class for the "little guys" called street stock. Street Stock is designed for the entry level racer, the guy with bolt ons only who drives and enjoys his car on the street as well as at the track. look on www.ltxtech.com for more info on the event and the class as well as www.ltxshootout.com

I AM TELLING YOU IF YOU HAVE A HIGH 12 SEC OR EVEN A MID 13 SEC BOLT ON ONLY LT1 THERE IS NO RACE CLASS OUT THERE THATS TRUE HEADS UP LIKE THIS ONE. YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET A CHANCE TO RACE TRULY HEADS UP IN AN EVENT AND BE COMPETITIVE. That is why i intially put the idea for this class out there and lobbied for it so intensively. For guys like myself who dont have the money to build a car for all the local crazy true heads up race classes. This class gives us a chance to enjoy true heads up racing, a type of drag racing that seems to have died throughout the country especially for the average low budget racer. If you come to this event i can PROMISE you you will have NO expirence like it at any other drag racing event in the country. Think about how rare this racing opportunity is. If you have any questions whatsoever feel free to pm me and i will anwser them directly. If you want to chat about it i will give u my cell phone number in a pm and we can talk over the phone. I want more then anything this class to have participants as i believe this is the most important class for everyone at the LTX Shootout.



Now onto my brand new idea specifically for our new class.....


I know that this event isnt about winning money and that it is for the enjoyment of the ltx community and i 100% agree with that......... but with that being said who wants to make it a lil bit more interesting? Hehe

Of course as long as it is ok with tony kyle and darren id love to do a side pot type thing. Everyone who wants in on the side pot (on top of whatever is up for grabs to win, which includes a cash prize, the infamous opti trophy, GMHTP magazine coverage, and also participant t-shirts, and cash prizes for the furthest to travel and the #1 qualifier in the class) will put in $20 extra and the person who goes the deepest in eliminations wins it all. This would be totally voluntary and we can even do it the day of the event and u dont have to do it and still race u just wont win the pot the person next in order who put in would win the money.

We do this every fri night at new england dragway and its called king of the hill and we all put in $10 each. We can deciede on how much we want to all enter.

What do you guys think? Makes it a bit more exciting imo

I agree 1000% Tony, You know I will be there and looking forward to the event. I hope that more people read your info on street stock and decide to come out for the fun. It will be a time that you will never forget...I promise that!

I'm also down for the side action.

We need to have a west coast "national" gathering.

West coast for sure! If its ever going to take place in Vegas it has to be in late october when the weather cools off and the DA gets a little better......Nov.-march is great race weather in Vegas aswell;)

i agree it is a haulll from tuscon about 25 hours. im driving 20 hours so i know how ya feel man. im going to work on an idea to make it worth people's while to travel great distances to come next year. i have a decent idea in place for next year's shootout, just need to fine tooth it and present to the higher ups.

but hey man if u can make it it sure will be fun, heads up first to the finish line wins 12 and 13 sec racing. sooooo rareeeee to see and to participate in. i cant wait! i dont even have a job just graduated college and im going to drain my savings account just to make it out this year. its all worth it to me. its been a goal of mine since the very first idea for the first shootout 4 years ago!

What makes you think someone isn't gonna bring a stock eliminator car and rip off a high 10? :devil:

They could do that, if they push it thru tech. But then they would get a nice teardown and kicked out of this class after their first pass.

Exactly what he said ^^^ take a peek at the rules. No stock eliminator car would fit in at all.

Oh man I would love to do this if it wasnt so far away. Im in NJ and only 17 so it doesnt quite fit into the agenda...

Too far... but it would be fun!!

LOL "I gotta nitrous motor, that B*tch is a junkie, it needs drugs!"

They don't play around on those cars in NC.

only a hop skip and a jump from you! 11 hours according to google maps! im hauling double that! and im jobless right now! drive ur car out make a few passes drink some beers with me and i'll let u touch my girls boobs it will be great hahaha

na in all seriousness tho come on out bring the gf or wife my girl is coming and so is most of everyone's its going to be great. plus u'll get to make fun of my thick boston accent lol

That will not happen!

lol ndacut is hilarious

THAT RED BITCH IN THERE SAYS YES I CAAAAANNN!!!!

haha trust me the sidepot thing wont be anyyyyyyythingggg like that at all. at most it will be a voluntary $20 extra for each participant and im sure darren or someone in charge will hold the money and the list of people who put in for the sidepot
