You likely will not be able to run 2 classes. Too few cars they will run back to back

I will count you in 10

I hear ya, I think with the intake, headers and cam I should be in the mid 11's or close. I need to be mid 11's in the cooler weather so I can be 12.00 in the summer.
I can also play with weight. I ran with a 1/4 tank of fuel and I picked up just over a tenth quicker.

Though I've never actively/knowingly bracket raced before, I might try this (in my Z28), 12.0 Index of course.

Are they are the same session or no? If they are the same session, I may run the 12.0 index.

You are talkiing to the wrong person JP. Talk to Paul Bailey tomorrow.

I would not think it would happen. If 10, 11, 12 is not successful and there is more demand for 13 then maybe but yest it is too late

The Heads-Up Index classes will be run on the following Saturday dates: April 21 4pm, May 26 9am, June 9 4pm, July 28 4pm and October 27 4pm.

I found it.........if I can spray in this class i'm in the 11.0 Index

You can get in the 11s with the stock cam, it's not as hard as you think...I'd do the gears, converter, and intake first. A big converter drives great on the street with lockup. Vararam intake, LS6 intake manifold, 3800+ converter and 3.73s on a tire will be a nice combo. Plus, if you decide to do a cam later you'll already have the supporting mods.
