Can you believe that this will be our 9th shootout! Great times for sure with all types of winners- we have had turbos win it, twin screws win it and centrifugals win it-something for everyone. This will be the SVT shootout at MIR where all classes are eligible for prizes to be given away to the racers-this isnt like the killer giveaway we had in BG last yr-that will be in play for BG again, but this is being done by the NMRA and manufacturers for everyone who is in the SVT shootout, cars and trucks included.
Bradenton was alot of fun but everyone who is racing in the Terminator/GT500 shootout needs to send Jake or I CONTACT NUMBERS OR EMAIL ADDRESSES so we can keep in contact during the weekend-people who left after getting eliminated or breaking didnt get their trophies. Also please park with the class, makes it easier on me tracking everyone down.
One minor rule change-motor plates are now acceptable
Anyone with any ideas or opinions please post them up!! Want to get together as a group one night for a dinner, if anyone has suggestions speak up, especially the locals
See you in a month!!!......Jim
