From Jason Heffner....

By the looks of things most of you are anxious to go racing at what is always the fastest event of the year, the December Bradenton race.

The event will take place as follows:

Friday December 9th: Dyno day / open house at Heffner Performance in Sarasota Florida. Open house / dyno contest starts at 9:00 a.m.. We will be dynoing cars on a first come / first served basis and will be wrapping things up at around 5:00 p.m.. Awards will be given to the most powerful cars in the following four classes: Naturally aspirated, Supercharged, Nitrous and Turbo. Rates are $50.00 per car which includes air / fuel monitoring and printouts. Everyone is welcome and we will look forward to seeing all of you.

Saturday December 10th: Gates open at 9:00 a.m., track goes hot at 10:00 a.m.. All cars will be permitted to make time runs throughout the morning and between rounds of qualifying and eliminations of the radial tire race. First round of qualifying for the radial tire race will be at 11:00 a.m., second round of qualifying will be at 11:45. The radial tire event will be a quick 8 field and cars will be paired up with their next closest qualifier. First round of elimination will begin at 12:30 p.m.. Second round of elimination will begin at 1:15 p.m. and the final round of elimination will begin at 2:00 p.m.. Awards will be given to the winner and runner up in the radial tire event. Following the radial tire event we will be permitted to make time runs until 3:00 p.m..

Sunday December 11th: Gates open at 9:00 a.m., track goes hot at 10:00 a.m.. All cars will be permitted to make time runs throughout the morning and between rounds of qualifying and eliminations. First round of qualifying for all classes begins at 11:00 a.m., second round of qualifying for all classes begins at 12:00 p.m.. Qualifiers in each class will be paired using a standard N.H.R.A. ladder. At 12:45 p.m. all cars must report to the staging lanes to be paired for first round of elimination. All cars will be called back to the lanes at 2:15 p.m. to be paired for second round of elimination. All cars will be called back to the staging lanes at 3:30 p.m. for the third round of elimination. If there are enough cars to necessitate a fourth round of eliminations cars will be called back to the lanes at 4:15 p.m.. The awards ceremony for all classes will begin at 4:30 p.m.. Time runs will be allowed until 5:00 p.m. Please keep in mind that there is some flexibility in the time lines and if time permits we will make an effort to give racers as much time as possible to cool down and / or make repairs.

Classes for Sunday are as follows:

11.50 and slower. Any radial tire permitted.Synchronized T-56 transmission and independent rear suspension required.

10.50 and slower. Any tire permitted. Synchronized T-56 transmission and independent rear suspension required.

There are several of us newer Viper owners who would like to attend and bring our stock machines and I would like to know if this event has any connection to VCA or is this only associated with NHRA and the Bradenton Track? In either case, is there some registration or pre-registration forms that must be completed and submitted prior to attending?

--------------
2005 Black Conv. 500 miles, strictly stock, but not for long!

All Vipers from stock to insane are welcome. Just show up Saturday (see schedule above) or Friday if you want to see Jason Heffners shop and have your car on the dyno.

If you need any other further details I would suggest contacting Jason Heffner 941-359-0900

I just booked my room and was told the block or rooms reserved for the Nats is sold out, but I was still able to reserve a room at the Nats price ($79). I suggest anyone else who plans on going hurry and reserve your room before they book up completely.

From Jason Heffner...

In an effort to have more competition in the Unlimited and Unlimited Pro classes we have decided to allow Corvette's and Supra's. Any Vette's or Supra's that meet the rule requirements for these classes are welcome to compete.

What would the fee be for a VCA member just wanting to "learn" about driving the car without competing? Last year several folks were just running for times between rounds...this is what I am interested in.
Thanks

Looks like Hot Rod Magazine will be covering the event so bring your Viper and if anything...you might see in on the pages of a nationally distributed magazine.

I am in Crystal River and was wondering who is going to Heffners on Friday. Interstate 75 is close to me. Love to ride down there with some other Vipers. Looks like its going to be a great Viper weekend.
