Drag Race
Important notice for all drag racers!
Following is a Link to the general information and safety requirements for ET Breakdown.
IMPORTANT NOTE: 2008 and newer stock interior cars can go 10.00 and slower with no cage/roll bar
This is where some of the quickest and fastest cars in the country can be found – side-by-side competition on 1320 feet of asphalt. Experience the ground pounding action from the popular drag radial classes all the way to our 10.5 Warrior Class. Don’t forget to check out the $10,000 N/T Shootout as well, an 1/8th mile heads up style race with some of the fastest LS-powered cars around! Join us during LS Fest and unleash your LS or current generation LT powered beast on one of the Midwest’s most famous tracks.
COPO Battle At The Green
COPO Camaros come straight from GM with an LS engine ready to race! They also come with Holley EFI, Holley intakes and Earl’s coolers, so we wanted to add a COPO Camaro class to the Holley LS Fest! Bring yours or be in the stands to watch one of the baddest factory muscle cars of all times!
Grudge Test-N-Tune
This is a no-payout class focused on keeping fun at a premium. It is perfect for those 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 isn’t competitive in any other class or maybe you’re learning to drive a new setup. This class is ideal for any of those scenarios. The class will run throughout the entire weekend. There WILL be a staging lane specifically for No-Time racers during Grudge Test-N-Tune. When this lane runs the boards WILL NOT be lit.
Class Rules: Other than having an LS or Gen V LT engine, there are no rules or limitations to this class. All vehicles MUST pass NHRA safety inspection for ET and speed.
Late Model Heads-Up
Late Model Heads-Up is an exciting class returning to LS FEST. This class will feature the quickest Late Model LS, and LT powered cars in recent production. This class has been developed to give Late Model owners a place to showcase their cars and builds. This is an all run, qualified field with a touch of grudge action. The “qualifying sheet” will be used for two purposes. First, the bragging rights of being #1 Qualifier and second to determine a potential bye run, for the first round of eliminations. A “PRO” style ladder will be used for eliminations until we are at 8 cars or less. From that point forward, when called to the lanes, all remaining 8 contestants will draw a numbered chip and return to their vehicle. The contestants that hold matching numbered chips will pair up and race. Lane choice will be determined by chip draw during these rounds. Each corresponding round going forward would employ the same process.
