April 25th 2015 for those interested. If anyone is planning to go, post here or let me know. Still several months away but I am sure the JSM crew can round up a truck or two if anyone else is interested also.

I would recommend that the organizers contact whatever the current "Truckin'" magazine is, if they haven't already. Sounds like that start of a potentially great event.

Ah...well, not sure we've been a part (at least, I've not heard of it annually).

IMHO it would take some serious builds to compete in Heads Up Class based on the rules below:
Trucks must be real lightnings/454ss/Dakota rt/syclones/srt10s
50.00 entry Bracket class(trophy 1 2 3)
Will be ran on a sportsman tree and foot brake only no electronics.
25.00 entry Tow vehicle(trophy 1 2 3)
sportsman/bracket(must be the truck used to tow truck to track)
75.00 entry True street class ( trophy 1 2 3)Payout will depend on how many in class.
All trucks will take a 30 mile cruise then go directly to the starting line to run 3 back to back runs with the lowest 3 run average the winner.
All trucks must have full interior, lights, wipers,exhaust no open headers etc... And will also have to have current proof of insurance and up to date tags.
Must run DOT tires of any size and fit under the bed
Foot brake only
Stock type suspension front and rear(no back halfs)
Full glass except for rear.
Fiber glass bumpers, hoods only.
The only thing after cruise that can be changed is tire pressure, hood stays down and no fuel can be added.
100.00 entry Heads up( 1st 1000.00 2nd 500.00 3 150.00)
Run what ya bring and hope you have enough.

Not saying in an 1/8th mile an AWD 1000+ Syclone would't do good (John Frey competes against 8 sec entries in Colorado Street Outlaws and is number 3 out of 10) but your average SyTy might not be enough with 800 - 900 hp.

But I might be wrong....(it doesn't say whether everything is 1/8th mile) but trucks with 4 links might not be allowed in the bracket or true street class either.
