A local guy decided to organize this, because he missed the LTX Shootout this year. It's got all the same rules as the LTX Shootout, too, I believe. It's only an hour from me, so I think I'll be up for it. Anyone else interested?

I think we are going to let LS1 cars enter the bracket classes and have the fastest LSx go up against the fastest LTx. Does this raise the interest level?

Do you know what it's going to cost to race yet? What's the registration process?
