I just got a call from Steve Nitti. He and Denny will be bringing the Duster to Clay City.

They just barely missed the C/Unlimited record at Mo-Kan, so they have done a little tuning and will be loaded for bear on 8 September. They plan to leave no doubt about the C/Unlimited record this time!

It's a beautiful car. Steve shows it and drives it on the street quite a bit. I think he told me he is the original owner! He also has a 66 Formula S Barracuda that he shows and drives.

He said they ran the numbers when they met with Seymour and they missed the C/U record by .00 something. The car weighs about 2800, so close to 3000 with driver. He said they've shaved a couple tenths off since Mo-Kan.

The event has returned to a "Mopar against the World" format. Hopefully it does not also return to the clusterflock it was last time I went.

Does that mean 100's of cars and all night racing?

2 Mopars come with Spark plug tubes. One is a world class, racing machine. The other is a 426 CI. boat anchor!

12.70 @ 104.6

I believe 2015. My issue was lack of actual racing going on and nothing on the track. 1st time run at 2pm, 2nd at 7pm with first call to staging at 7:30. I swore then I would never set foot in Clay City again.

Just poorly organized and run. I know it got much better under Monster Mopar. Hopefully it stays that way.

Rick, not sure what it will do to car counts. When I was there last the only reason racing ran late was poor running of the program.

Clarification for this race weekend:

The big purse race on Saturday will be a 1/4 mile competition.

The regular race on Sunday will be a 1/8 mile competition.

For those seeking to set records:

Since we have both 1/4 and 1/8 mile races this weekend, you have the opportunity to set a record in either class.

Any passes you make this weekend Friday - Sunday during test & tune, time trials or competition count.

Reminder: You CANNOT use the 1/8 mile split of a 1/4 mile pass to submit for the 1/8 mile record. All 1/8 mile record submissions have to be with the 1/8 mile time slip only.

So plan your test & tune and entering other classes for record attempts accordingly.

Thanks, Rob. I was there the last two years and don't recall any weird running orders or big delays. I'll be there with bells on, starting with testing on Friday eve.

If anyone is showing up early (Friday morn/midday, etc..), please post here so we might get together nearby before the track opens. I plan to get there before the track opens (3pm) on Friday, in case there will be Slant 6 luminaries hanging around lip flappin!

Lou
