Great news!
If you can post the entry criteria it would be good.

I have a Ladder Bar car so not sure if the Rules are more like Guidelines

I'll interpret that as "Bugger off!", then

Looking forward to the event!

with my limited knowledge of the rules apart from springs/n/a/no t-brakes etc., just wondering how this works then?, if there all running N/A, and you have 350ci against 500ci, how can you make it fair for the slower cars and stop them saying "I ain''t got a chance"...whats the criteria for "getting in the field"?...et cut off?

If you qualify no.8 in an eight car field running say 11.2...you'll get no.1 qualifier running 9's? in round 1 would you not?...in a heads up class with no breakout your gonna go out in round 1, not a lot of point in that, how do you stop that happening?......just interested

Tig has gone 9.57 and i think it should stay heads up. I will do it next year if i dont break the car.
The original SS wasn't a bracket.

No SS wasn't a bracket class but they had weight breaks for close competition...we don't have 32>64 car fields, but you can't run heads up on qualifying times with n/a cars only with 100+ci differences in engine sizes, that ain't racing....maybe that ain't the case?
