LS1, LT1 canceled?
I just heard that the IHRA was canceled and moved to next weekend. Thats our weekend. Anybody know if the LS1 shoot out is being rescheduled?
This sucks, stupid Texas weather. Also, is the dyno still going even if the shootout doesn't?
We need to know.

It hasn't been cancelled per se but crappy SA Raceway has it on their site that they are taking over. I think there will be a ton of pissed off people if this is true. I've emailed nineball already and let him know. This is really getting under my skin if it's true. If they pull this crap I will never go to SA Raceway again.

It is official, the event has been cancelled for next week-end. Top Dogs get Top Billing.
Tony is in the process of getting responces from us on which date to make it. The 2 dates that are being thrown around are March 16th and April 6th. So if you have a prefrence you better put your .02 cents in.
And yes it does suck, but what can we do? This Texas weather is to blame. Have you ever seen so much rain?

Im confused here. What are we talking about? LT1-LS1 shoot-out prices or a National IHRA event?
$15 to race at the track is cheap. Think of all the things that go into making a track good and safe. Now where I would say it it expensive is the $10 the want for someone to go and watch on a TNT night. Now that may be a bit much.
$35 to watch a National IHRA event is expensive
Tickets to go see Metallica in Houston are more than that. Imagine paying the ticket price plus transportation and lodging to say Dallas to wacth an NHRA event or a NASCAR event. Can you say 2 weeks of your paycheck. Heck to get nose bleed seats at the SBC center will cost you about the same.
When you get a sanctioned event to come to a track the tickets are going to be a little more. Heck its only $25 more to watch them than me race on TNT night
Now what I dont like is the $50 it costs for the Shoot-Out. Went to Ennis for SLP Day and entry fee was $0...

What I would like to know is has everything been rescheduled? What I mean by that is has the dyno been rescheduled, obviously the party had to be.
But what about the dyno? Nathan, you have any info on this?

The dyno day is NOT rescheduled. Still on for this Saturday. It is a very large shop and if it is raining there is room for at least 5 cars in there besides the car on the dyno.
I will be doing a reply to the dyno day just so folks dont think its canceled.

The IHRA event was rescheduled due to bad weather. It had to be moved to this coming weekend. Considering the fact that they spent well over 2 million dollars in upgrades to meet IHRA track expectations, you can see why the LT1/LS1 shootout takes a backseat to a "NATIONAL" event.
I'm personally thankful the shootout has been cancelled and will be moved back. I'd like to see it in April or May. Hopefully by then my car will be running. If I had to vote on one of the two dates listed above, I'd have to say April 6th. I'll have a chance at making that one!
