Also @Fastbird and I were discussing this... but the shootout website could be incorporated into this forum, bringing everything together. I believe @meissen could verify that we could offer the shootout coordinators their own section, which could accomodate information... registration, shootout swag sales... etc.

Would keep me from having to duplicate whats on the other site...

I doubt there were any cars at the YB Nats that were debating about coming to the LTX Shootout. How many LTX cars run at the the YB Nats? Maybe 1? There are plenty of LT1 powered Stockers running around because (for the time being) the LT1 cars are very competitive as far as how much hp they rate them at and the race weight. Most of the competitive LT1 Stockers can dip into the 10.50's in good air. In the heat most of them are 10.70's+. The elite ones (like Ratcliff) are 10.30's and they'd rather run for a Wally than a Golden Opti. Every one of the LT1 Stockers would fall into Mod N/A, and they'd be giving up cubic inches, intake manifold selection, cylinder head selection, etc, etc. Only a few would show up, and even then, they wouldn't run well against a stacked field, if guys like Mike V, Taner, and Brady showed up. So moving it to accommodate the NHRA guys might be a moot point.

While I agree this would be cool, I feel that its a step in the wrong direction. Don't get me wrong this site does wonders for LTX stuff and shooutout but the shootout needs to be across the web not just centered around one site. The shootout needs to get out there and what not. IDK how, but thats my thought.

It still would be... just hosted t he through our vb.

Still a few cars none the less. A couple guys said they would be interested in going but it falls on the nationals . If moving the shootout to a different date didn't affect no one it would just be a plus .

I could care less either way . I feel that there would be more guys that can't show because it's on a holiday weekend then guys that would attend from yb Nats and nhra race

Curious Are you ever going to bring your car again ?

And as far as your comment goes about they wouldn't show to be competitive . I'd disagree. It's more of a fun race and I'm sure you know that because you have attended one. It's taken serious but on a very light level. Comrodarery and getting to race everyone with different combos is fun.. a vast Majority of guys are not that hell bent on being number one in a fun event
