I like how they have it set up so that the Quick 8 is after class eliminations are over.

I like the fact that they are bringing the Q-8 back but, I see issues...

The way I read it they are going to run this during the pro eliminations on Sundays if I am correct? If this is true won't it be possible that some of the Q-8 races will still be competing? I don't think these guys will be able to or want to try and make twice as many runs in the same time frame. I don't think I would want to try this with my car. Another issue I see is if they run first round on Saturday for the regular TS race and some of the Q-8 racers lose are guys really going to hang around until Sunday? Especially if they have long tows home.

Quick 8s are going to be run on Saturday nights along with the Pro fields. I think the sportsman racing is supposed to be done by then. I know a lot of racers are real excited about having the Quick 8 Shootouts back at the IHRA and I think they will really add a lot to the show.

The more exposure and opportunities the better in my book.
I'm sure they won't have too much trouble finding cars to participate??

If we can scratch up some gas money we'll dust off the Stude and give it a try.

That would be awesome. Let us know which race or races you attend.

Will do, Tim Mathison has been the driver the last few years.
