Just a quick couple questions to make sure everyone understands. 1st will Commerce, GA be a LSX shoot-out again? 2nd will Holley LS-fest be part of the series?

Here is a quote from Jeff about the LSX Challenge series posted on tech...

Top of the original post states "2013 NMRA Ford Nationals Schedule" so that could be why Commerce and Bowling Green were left off the list since they are GM only events.

NMRA Truck & Lightning Class Presented by Detroit Locker
NMRA’s Truck & Lightning class will run at the SVT 20th Anniversary Shootout. This
class will feature some of the baddest and fastest Ford trucks in the U.S. battling it out
for cash, prizes and major media exposure. This class is for mildly to heavily modified
Ford trucks of all years and models.
Truck & Lightning Class Purses:
Winner: $400 + Contingency + Acrylic Award
Runner-Up: $200 + Contingency + Plaque
Semis: $75
Quarters: $30
Truck & Lightning class winner and runner-up will also qualify for NMRA contingency.
$150 in contingency per product posting will be paid to the winner and $75 per product

Truck & Lightning Class Rules:
Truck & Lightning class is designed for any year, make, and model Ford trucks using
Ford engines only. SUV’s, including: Explorers, Expeditions, Excursions, etc., permitted.
Dragsters, vans, and roadsters prohibited. The Truck & Lightning class will run on an
Open Comp format with a 1-tenth (1/10th) breakout.
Qualifying Information, Ladder Type, & Tree
The class will be qualified by positive reaction time (r/t) closest to “.000” based on a Pro
.500 Tree. “.000” is considered perfect. Any negative r/t (-.001, -1.231, etc.) will be
placed at the bottom of the qualifying ladder, the more negative the r/t is, the farther
down the ladder the run will be placed. For cases in which identical reaction times are
made, qualifying position will be based on a first-come first served: the first occurring r/t
will be placed #1, the second occurrence of said r/t will be placed #2, and so on. Class
will be paired according to qualifying positions, and then advance to eliminations.
All Run, NHRA Sportsman Ladder, Pro .500 Tree, Handicap Start.
A 32 or less car field will be laddered on a sportsman ladder.
A 33 or greater car field is randomly paired and run until the field reaches 32 cars or
less. When the field reaches 32 or less cars a sportsman ladder for the number of cars
remaining will be used to pair the cars. Car placement on this ladder will be determined
based on reaction time for the last round that was randomly paired.
If weather has caused the loss of one or more rounds of qualifying sessions, any
entrants not qualified will be required to choose an index from the following list: 15.7
15.0, 14.0, 13.0, 12.0, 11.0, 10.0, 9.0, and 8.5 Competitor must submit their index to the
