Thanks,
Jamie

I raced in the 2007 NMCA/LSX Shootout. The First LSX Shootout. As they combined it with the NMCA Finals, it was very crowded with waits to get through all the classes. But they stacked the lanes pretty well. Expect only to get the runs they offer for each class. True Street on Saturday was fun.

On Sunday, they get through the classes pretty quick. It's pretty well organized.

AFAIK, you have to run the NMCA banner in almost any class. I don't know about any other stickers.

Yes. Maybe Blackflag will check in. He won a class in the first race this year.

I'll be there...in the FNSS!

This race is not a NMCA race so you won't h e to run that banner. Any stickers that are required are given to you. If you want to win contingency $$$ then you can add manufacture stickers, that are also provided. Its a great time. You will have test and tune time on Friday. Jut in test and tune and true street and qualifying, you will get plenty of runs.

Thanks brother! That's pretty much what I was looking for along with what Padre mentioned. Sounds fun. I'm just worried about being stuck in lines all over the place. Where are you guys staying?

I saw P's house on wheels. I'll have to look into the Fairfield in and see what's left when we decide. Thanks again. Are you just running the 5th gen class or some others?

I am still on a DOT drag radial. I will run true street, and cam5. 2 classes in the past is what they will let you run. The Fairfield inn is the host hotel.

I have ran 2 lsx shootouts and broke a 6060 at each one. I have eliminated the 6060....
