I saw there's 15 MMPS cars entered so far. Starting to shape up as a heck of an event.

Here's another question - do people object to the 1/8 mile for the pro categories only, or just object to it overall? My experience has been with local 1/8 mile tracks it's almost exclusively for the sportsman class, including a rare showing by an alcohol car or jet exhibition vehicle.

I can get with not having the pro stock, funny car, and top fuel classes on a 1/8 race but for everything else, I could live with it.

Only one thing remains, right?
Take what ya brung, whoop on it as hard & as quick as ya can, stomp on everybody's noogies, make it stick - make it sting, come early , come ugly - if all goes well and you don't explode sumthin' this seems like an activity people would like to repeat... Whatever the given track length; is subjective, as Alan has put it before: "Waaaaaaay too much horsepower" is making it stick and look good doin' it.
My wife & I have had the "opportunity" shooting at the guardrail (or two) to have a supercharged whatever or NOS PM or whacked out altered burnin' who knows get loose around 330-660' and I must say you don't have time to twitch or pray, say the first syllable in the letter "O" or mess thine drawers, it can get ugly quick any time (like the "short" bell ringer Beckman went on) - let's remember these are real people thrashing for dollars, at least I thought it always was. Race hard, race safe, race often, follow the rules and be helpful to each other. More rules like dat. LOL

1/8th mile Top Fuel & Nitro

Don't know the fine print in the rules. What if the Killer B's show up with the Injected car?
Since it's in Steve's home track.

Bartone is going

I'm thinking that arriving at the gate will still get you a pit spot at National Trail. Lol

Good Lord knows I have said it before at least a MiwYun times (In yer best Elmer Fudd voice)...
And I'm gunna say again, just like Rickie Smith has probably said since I met him in the 90's, "IDC where, just show me THE MONEY and I'll show up to gimme sum O dat!!"
That's a pretty good Who's Who of the classes and I hope Del shows em how it's done too!

Thanks guys!!

Is a "Darana" a person, place, or thing?? Just curious. Will always be National Trail to me whatever it's called.
