Open Outlaw Heads Up Series in Florida

Hi All,

Open Outlaw has been heads up class at bigger reaces for quite a few years at Bradenton Motorsports Park. The car counts last year were disappointing except for the Snowbird Nationals. We decided that we had to do something to renew interest in the class and bring back the car counts.

We worked with BMP and Sunshine Dragstrip to bring 10 races to the Central Florida tracks and created a points series. We started a new website http://www.openoutlaw.com to give us a focal point.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the class, it's basically Blown or injected Altereds, F/C and Dragsters. Rear Engine dragsters must run a converter. The Sunshine events are 1/8th mile and the Bradenton races are 1/4mi. ET's are generally 4.00 to 4.50 in the 1/8th and 6.0 to 6.50 in the 1/4.

If you are looking for great event to attend and want to run heads up, check us out. We have contact info, pics and videos on the site. Drop in and say hello.

Hey Troy,

Are you guys going to make the Open Outlaw event at Sunshine on Nov 21? I'm planning on making it and the Snowbirds at Bradenton Dec 4-6. Hope to see ya there!

Mike

 

Hi Mike - Yes, we are planning on being at both. Since I missed the Nostalgia Race, I'm jonesing to get back to the track...

Troy.

 

These guys are a great bunch, we have run with them a few times, and we had a blast, and got paid to do it, catch one of their(our) shows if ya can !! We have a prior commitment for Nov 21st race, the new Quick-16 class at Lakeland begins on that same date But we do plan to catch up with you guys soon !!

 

Open Outlaw's

Troy is correct!

This is a group of true ""Open Outlaw" racers and they are "BAD"!

Anyone that can hang with this bunch in the 1/8th will certainly earn their way to the "free beer line"!

 

What's the payout?

 

but its not really an open show is it being your limited to a converter do the converter guys get mad if clutch car came in and beat'em on the tree ( lol )

 

Converters are only required in dragsters. Altereds and FCs can run clutches. About the only other rule is no screw blowers. Roots blowers are limited to 14-71.

 

now its starting to sound a little better what does it pay to qualify and what does it pay to win

never mind seen the web site to far for that money for me

 

Jim, I'm wallpaper'in my trailer with signed 5 $ bills from converter "MANIAC'S" but did have to sign 1 at the last race. His 003 to my 012. To bad it's such a long tow for ya we have alot of fun with our bunch.

 

i would love to do it bradenton is about 16hrs for me i like the track i used to run there when they had the snowbird nationals in the mid 90s i had alot more money back then

 

Bradenton still does the Snowbirds and Open Outlaw is a part of it. It's Dec 4-6. The purse is better for it too. We had a pretty good year for car counts which should help us get better purses next year. But we're not going to get the purses if we don't field some cars.
