“Midwest Index Shootout Series”.

[dennismopar73]

For those who haven't heard, we will are expanding our 6.50/7.50 Index races to a new seven race series called “Midwest Index Shootout Series”. It will feature the Outlaw Muscle Street Shootout, the revived “Fun Street 6.50”, 5.70, 6.50, 7.50 & 8.50 Index Classes.

Also there will be a new class called “Index Shootout Bracket” which will be more familiar to our regular ET Bracket racers that allow a racer to choose their index between 5.00 & 10.60, but must keep the same dial all race day. Racers will be grouped together into three different groups to keep the racing action closer to “Side by Side”. More information will be given at the banquet and rules are already posted on our website. There’s also a Facebook page called Midwest Index Shoot Out Series with more information.

We are proud to announce a partnership with Steward Restoration of Raymond, IL. Hoch’s Garage of Tolono, IL and Keep it Kleen & Runnin’ Strong of Decatur, IL for the Midwest Index Shootout Series.

Stewards Restoration will be the Title Sponsor of the Midwest Index Shootout Series and provide bonus money at the first race (25 May) for the Outlaw Muscle Street Car Shootout & 5.70 Index Class.

Hoch’s Garage will be the Fun Street 6.50 Index Class sponsor adding $50 each race to the win payout, $25 to the R/Up payout and also the “Hoch Hard Luck” Bonus which will be $25 bonus to best losing package during 1st Round of Eliminations.

Keep it Kleen & Runnin’ Strong will be the 7.50 Index Class sponsor adding $50 each race to the winner’s payout and $25 to the runner up’s payout.

Problem Child. As long as your not trying to run Outlaw Muscle Car Shootout or Fun Street 6.50 Index a left hand streer roadster is allowed.

what's the thinking behind allowing nitrous on a timer but not throttle stops?

ET Racer... After talking to the Midwest Index Shootout Series committee this is the logic. The unpredictability of nitrous vs the predictability of a throttle stop isn't comparable.

The intent of Index racing or at least what we are trying to do, is two side by side cars which is more in line with what a regular spectator would see on TV. With Spectator counts going down at Divisional and regular weekly ET events we thought this new or should I say old Index racing series may peak some interest.

We do allow the use of non-electronically controlled Throttle stops like they use to use many moons ago.

Hope that answers your question and if not feel free to contact me at 217-512-0673

it peaks my intrest,and for the spectaor its something different than bracket races,i know myself i love seeing the jegs super quick races

[etracer]

It seems to me that anything electronically controlled in not in the spirit of these classes. While I don't have nitrous now, I have successfully used nitrous to run consistent numbers in super comp. I'm sure all it will take is someone being very good at using nitrous on a timer to get the rule changed. Having this rule in place or not isn't going to change the number of times I attend, just curious is all. Thanks.
