Grudge/test-n-tune class is a no payout class that is focused on having fun! This class is perfect for those who are looking for a Saturday night 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.

We are looking forward to seeing participants showcase the performance of their Trucks and SUVs. The rules this year are simple and straight forward.

This is sure to be one of the most entertaining groups of cars on the property!

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.
