Indy Good Guys, HAMB Drags

I just read this on the good guys website talking about the drag racing portion of the show this year. NPCA will be sactioning the drags this year since there is no more VRA Good Guys sanctioning. It does not list the HAMB dragsters as part of the exhibition cl***es slated to race that weekend. Just wondering if any of you have spoke to them and know for sure if there will be a HAMB dragaster event that weekend.

I am really looking forward to the drags and seeing the HAMB dragsters and the spamarama at Bubbas Friday night. I hope this is just an oversight and the HAMB cl*** was just not listed. Let me know if there is anything for certain.

Good point,The answer is no I dont think anyone has talked to them. We were going to talk to Gary Meadors when he came in for the Chilli Bowl but do to the ice storm in Tulsa he flew home early and we did not talk to him. I will send a Email to Marc to see if I can find out anything.

 

Keep us posted Mr. Mac. Thanks
