Holley LS Fest West Quick 16
Holley LS Fest West Quick 16!
We’re looking for the fastest car on the property at LS Fest West 2022 and to find it we created the Quick 16! Racers in any drag class are eligible for this shootout with no additional entry fee required. To be eligible simply bring the timeslip from your fastest qualifying pass to drag tech by 3:00 on Saturday and we will pit the 16 with the quickest ETs in a race. We will try to make the race happen Saturday night around 6:00pm. This will be a 1/8th mile heads up race on a .400 pro tree with scoreboards on. It is run what you brung, but the car must meet NHRA safety requirements for the times it runs and must be LS/LT powered obviously. Ladder will be set with chip draw each round and payouts will be $1,500 to win and $500 R/U! Let’s see what you got!

.500 Pro Tree – Heads Up Index
LS Truck was introduced at the inaugural 2017 LS Fest West. The LS truck and SUV market has exploded into an exciting platform. We are looking forward to seeing participants showcase the performance of their Trucks and SUVs. The rules this year are simple and straight forward. In future events the LS Fest drag race staff will consider additional parameters and rules packages. We look forward to seeing you and your truck or SUV at the race.
This is sure to be one of the most entertaining groups of cars on the property! Like every other class at LS Fest, these cars must be LS or Gen V LT powered to compete and are also required to have a clutch assisted “H” pattern shifted transmission. Other than the transmission and clutch restrictions, this class is unlimited! All NHRA speed/time safety rules will apply.
This class has been developed to accommodate the serious LS enthusiast that may not have a class specific build. The performances we will see in this class will be exciting to watch and compete. The class will be full of entries at different power levels but everyone will still have the same ET limit to adjust to. The entry must be LS or LT powered and be able to pass NHRA tech for ET and Speed. For any pair of entries that exceed 5.50 et during eliminations, the closest to 5.50 will be declared the winner as long as both entries left the starting line with green lights. Any run in qualifying that exceeds 5.50 seconds will be placed on the bottom of the ladder. Lane choice will be determined by gentleman’s agreement or coin flips for all elimination rounds.
