Has anyone seen a daily schedule for the PRO Superstar Shootout ???
- Thread starter fibertech
- Start date
Tony,
In which event(s) did your daughter compete? Indoor, outdoor or cross country?
Living in Arkansas, I’ve attended many indoor track events, watching my Razorbacks usually winning. It’s the winningest program of any sport in the U.S. with 42(!) national championships.
Track competitors are pure athletes, and the competition is amazing to watch.

She was indoor and outdoor track. In high school she did long & triple jump, 300m hurdles, 400m, 4x400m & 4x200m.
She earned a Division I scholarship to Central Michigan University where she competed in the heptathlon her freshman year and then the 400m hurdles, 400m and 4x400m her last three years.
Her 4x400m team were MAC conference champs her senior year. The CMU women's team won conference the season after she graduated, so it was a little bitter sweet sense she was one of the kids recruited to help rebuild the women's track and field program there. She got her degree in Biomedical Science and now lives in Colorado.
She ran in a high school AAU event at Arkansas. That was her first time on a banked indoor track. The University of Michigan has one as well.
Yeah those SEC teams are tough, big time athletics there. I love watching their men's basketball team. I think Eric Musselmen is a hell of a coach.
Her high school has produced quite a few Division I track and field athletes. They currently have a pole vaulter at Ohio State and a sprinter who transferred from Kentucky to Tennessee. They've had athletes in the Big Ten, MVC, OVC and the MAC.
I'll forever be a fan of track and field. Crazy athletes. We had a lot fun following her career and the other women she competed against since high school.
Where can I find the race format, particularly eliminations? I’ve looked on Flo, the Bradenton site etc. but can’t seem to find it. With only an 8 car field, is it single elimination so If you lost first round you head home and the next two rounds are only 4 cars and then final 2? Everyone seems pumped for a 340 pass but has this track ever run nitro cars? I was there once but pro mod was the fastest class. Anyone? See you there.
IHRA Supernationals in 1988. Rocky Epperly in TF final.

Thanks for posting those, Roger. That's a big help for those of us following along at home.
That seems very odd that they don't open the gates at say 9am on Thursday so fans can see the Pro test sessions and some of the early Sportsman qualifying. Why not? Sell some more beer and make some more money.
I just signed up to watch this race and really looking forward to it. I just watched Tom Bailey's drag and drive event, Sick Week 2024 and that was one of the tracks the participents raced at and many of the drivers said the track wasn't the best of the 4 tracks they raced on, Orlando, Bradenton, Gainesville and South Georgia Motorsports. I know, these aren't pro drivers (with the exception of Jeff Lutz and Tom Baily and some guy from Sweden) but these are grass roots drivers who drive an all kinds of tracks and could probably read a track with the best of the pros.
What I'm trying to say here is, it's gonna be a great event, a lot of good racing but no 340 MPH.

This is sure going to be a lot of fun to watch, can't wait for final qualifying and eliminations!

Mid day on Saturday, all unqualified cars run, the top times in TF and FC run each other in a final, Chicago Style for the "Don Schumacher trophy and $10,000.
OK, I was wrong! After Antron's 339+ yesterday, that 340 barrier will be broken.
