Ok guys, here is the outcome of the meeting Tim, the general manager of SGMP, and myself had today.

The classes remain the same, however...all index classes will be ran open comp style, handicap eliminator on a PRO TREE. This gives everyone in the full second indexes a chance at the title. (Not just the guys that know their truck will run a XX.50 without a second thought.) Again, making it fair and fun for all.

Quick 16 remains heads up pro tree.

As a bonus (and to compensate for cutting out the heads up element) after the event is ran and the awrads are given out, it's party time. And I don't mean drinking your face off (yet). The entire afternoon (and into the evening if need be) will be full on, heads up, grudge racing! There will be tons of folks wanting to run their best match up that may not have happened in the "event" itself. Don't think this isn't part of the event guys. It absolutely is! It will be a free for all but if I need to step in with the time that were ran throughout the day and start pairing people up to grudge match, I most certainly will. The part I haven't mentioned yet is that I am going to find some hot chick with lovely breasticles to do the arm drop for this portion of the day. Just try not to get distracted by the boobies guys. It could get dangerous out there.

One of the final and more important details is this. Tim said that with the number of trucks that it seems we have coming to the event, he is considering shutting down the test and tune for the day and it just being OUR DAY! The prices aren't going to change but in order for this to happen, I'm counting on each and every person that said they are coming, to SHOW UP!

We are already discussing next year too. Tim said if this year proves to be a winner, next year we will have a Friday night t&t followed by a pre-race party at the track with food and drinks! We need to make this event a WINNER with attendance so it can be twice as good next year!

Thank you all for your support and participation in what is sure to be a great event!!!
