4k with driver if you're in the brackets. I do the run all day class, so it doesn't matter what it weighs.
 
hmmmm its brakets so if you add weight to the car..... say bolt some bricks in the trunk.... would that be legal?
 
Important Announcement Concerning SSHS8:

We have been seeking sponsors for the event. There are still 2 or 3 class
sponsorships available if anybody is interested in promoting your company or
club. Sponsorship packages are listed below, but an additional benefit for class sponsorships is the recognition when the class sponsor’s name is broadcast on the PA system. This will happen many times during the day, as the different rounds of eliminations are run. Some other levels of sponsorship get online advertisement at SSHS8.com as well as the name/logo printed on the event t-shirt.

We need to have the sponsorship information soon in order to put the name on the t-shirts, so any interested parties please reply soon.


Sponsorship Packages:

$500 - Class Sponsor - Full Website Coverage - Logo/Ad/Link on SSHS8.com

In addition to sponsorships another way to help is to volunteer at the event. We are seeking gate personnel (8:00 - 3:00) and scale monitor (1:00 - 4:00). We would like multiple volunteers so everyone can have time to enjoy part of the afternoon track action.


To inquire, email: sschingler@charter.net
 
i was gonna say isn't the LS just shy of 3700lbs? maybe with gas and driver could hit the 4k mark..
 
Where are all the Mark VIII racers at? This is the premier event to attend for our cars, and there are only 3 pre-registered Mark VIII's one month before the event??? What's up with that?

I was looking forward to laying the smack down on a fleet of Mark's this year. Knock off the armchair keyboard racing, and BRING IT! If you dare... :cool:
 
One month to go until the Shootout! Hope you participants are prepared to bow to the SSHS8 King of the Hill! - insert my name here... :)

Click to expand...

Best way to add weight would be steel plate weights right under the spare tire. Could dial it in perfect and should be legal as they would be bolted down.
 
Hey Guys, I have been at the Silver Dollar track here in Reynolds, GA the last two days watching the SSHS8 Big Dog contender Speedfactory/Injected Engineering Charger T&T, meanwhile, breaking the LX platform World Record last night, and then again today, SMASHING the record big time! Better put your A game on! Here is the video from last night.

We will have the commemorative t-shirts available for $20.00ea at the Holiday Inn Express (Commerce) on Friday night from 2pm through around 7pm in the small conference room. Brian (Fordnut) did an excellent job in the design and procurement! The arrived from Knoxville via "special courier" this week. (They will also be available race day at the track.)
 
I was asked to post this by one of our Mopar friends. This is regarding the VP fuel station at the track.
