11.50 INDEX CLASS TO BE ADDED FOR THE 2015 EVENT!
The decision has been made on adding a new Index Class.
The most common complaint from people racing now is that the cars have gotten to fast, so a mild build can't compete in any of the classes. This is understandable and the nature of the how the event has progressed over the years. There are guys who want to run FWD's, there are guys who want to run any mods they want etc. Doing a 10.90 class I feel is too fast for a lot of guys trying to compete with a stock turbo build. It is also not easy to accomplish with a FWD. There has to be a point that a DSM/EVO/FWD/RWD/GTR can reach fairly easily without breaking the bank. There has to be a point that a car that is capable of running 10.5's but can't win a normal heads up class can slow down to with a turn of the boost controller to run heads up and still be fun. That point to me after careful thought is 11.50's.
Some guys may have to step up their game slightly and others will need to slow down a bit but that's the point of an Index class.
For those of you that don't know how this is going to work. This extra class you will be trying to run as closely to 11.50 every single pass as possible. The class is run on a Pro Tree and will be open to ANY Shootout legal vehicle. So DSM's/EVO's/GTR's or any other Mitsubishi powered vehicle. Mods don't matter, you can run the car in ANY configuration you want.
Spread the word.

I'm curious as to why an air filter is required to run in the Street Eliminator class next year?
I have a standard placement manifold and I will switch out the filter for a bellmouth velocity stack in order to get the most out of the car when at the track.
Going to be a little bummed if I have to run street 32 because of this.
Either way I'll be making the haul from Wash. State to attend my first Buschur Shootout in 2015!!

We're proud to be sponsoring the Street 32 class (ST32) at the Shootout this year. We'll be giving away some cool prizes so hopefully we'll see a lot of you there. We'll have more specific information about our plans for the event on our FB page (http://fb.com/KigglyRacing) in the coming months.
