Grudge Test-N-Tune
We are introducing a grudge/test-n-tune class for LS Fest. This is a no payout class that is focused on keeping fun at a premium. This class is perfect for those who are looking for a fun-run style class just like they have at their home track. Team up against a friend or race against yourself and the clock. Perhaps your car wouldn’t be competitive in any other class. Maybe you’re learning to drive a newly developed setup. This class is ideal for any of those scenarios. The class will be run throughout the entire weekend and is only available to competitors that are not competing in another class during the event. The only exception would be for competitors that are running True Street on Saturday. These will be able to enjoy Test-N-Tune on Sunday.
Class Rules: Other than having an LS or current gen LT engine, there are no class rules or limitations to this class. All NHRA safety regulations for speed DO APPLY.
