I plan on running the index class since it seems the best option for us.
The rules for the INDEX Class are listed below.
____________________
LSX INDEX SHOWDOWN
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This is an index style drag racing class designed to attract most all vehicles not fitting the All Motor or Drag Radial class rules.
Developed for any year of GM bodied car or truck using a LS style power plant.
All races are on a .500 Pro Tree and in an index format.
This will be an ALL RUN qualifying format.
Vehicles are required to be stock appearing and stock bodied.
All vehicles MUST pass NHRA/IHRA safety inspection for ET and speed.
A Sportsman ladder will determine running order based off Sunday mornings qualifying round, closest to index without exceeding.
Vehicles must be driven to staging and to scales, can be towed after scales
Vehicles are required to run GM Performance Parts Sponsor decal and GM Performance Parts LSX Shootout license plate
CLASS DESIGNATIONS/INDEXES
Following the completion of Friday and Saturdays Time Runs and Qualifying each LSX Index Showdown driver will be required to select an Index and officially submit it to the LSX Event Coordinator prior to Sunday Mornings qualifying session. There will be a single qualifier Sunday morning to establish the ladder to be utilized in Sundays competition eliminations with a breakout factor in effect.
Each LSX Index Showdown competitor will have the option to run and compete in the NMCAS MSD True Street category presented by Popular Hot Roding Magazine on Saturday at no additional charge. For rules and regulations pertaining to True Street please refer to the 2007 NMCA official Rule Book or log on to www.nmcadigital.com and look under Event Series, Official Rule Book.

Hey Guys, looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. I'm going to enter but since I can't find a flat # I'll just be cannon fadder. According to what I read on the track web site it's not a race at all, it's three passes with the average closest to a flat # (10.0 11.0 12.0 13.0 14.0 ) I run .2's &.3's.
Maybe we can use saturday practice to match race a little:punch::punch: I'm not as fast as most of you, maybe my heavy 5.3 can hang in there.:devil:

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend, Jim. Looks like you may have to take some seats out to get to that flat number. :D

Just a heads up for y'all that are going... there's going to be a black TBSS there that is absolutely sick! It's 800rwhp via a 402 on N2O. It traps 106 in the 1/8th and should be deep 10s in the 1/4. If you get chance watch him run, I've seen it and it's a beast. It was built by R.P.M. and I think it'll be parked with the rest of the RPM guys.
