Great News! We have added a Pro Street 10.90 Index class to the SSHS9 schedule! Nothing better than seeing a bunch of 10 second, 4000 pound beasts tearing up the track!

Man, I wish I could make this one. But my car is on extended hiatus pending the installation of just one more add-on part.

As much as I'd like to make the trip, I'm pretty sure I won't be coming up this year, again.
![]() I would, however, like to report that GB is safe & sound, alive & well, and sunning herself in South Florida. I haven't taken her to the track, but she is sure a blast to drive on the street. Funny thing. I need new rear tires. Hmmmmmmmm......... ![]() -mike

Post up everyone that is going to the Friday night T&T. We usually meet at the Sonic drive-in and eat before going to the track. Try to get to the Sonic around 4-4:30pm, and we will caravan to the track at around 5pm. Track gates open at 6pm. The Sonic is about a mile from the track.

Hope everyone had a great time. lol This event is like Christmas for me, and I look very much forward to it every year. Those that have never been to the shootout, have no clue what they are missing out on - it is that good! Thanks to all the volunteers, and sponsors that worked so hard to put this gig on every year!
![]() Congratulations to all the winners, and my condolences to all the wounded warriors. 364 days to the next shootout, so you better hurry and get your junk fixed! ![]() Here is a link to some pictures from the track photographer. See you all next year for SSHS10! http://www.gouldphoto.com/Drag-Racin...ovember-7-2009
