    For next year, keep it after July 19 so I can come.

    Remove sun visor requirements for the street class. Forgot which one it was. I don't have any and don't intend to have any.

    It always used to be Labor Day weekend to allow the long-haulers an extra day to get home. It makes sense to hold it on that weekend. You start taking chances when you hold out an extra month, gambling on cooler weather. The guys with 12+ hour rides have to leave on Sunday and hope that they don't encounter any issues. My first shootout, I blew a trailer tire that shredded the fender. I finally got back on the road hours later, and then hit a downpour and construction in PA. I didn't roll into my house until around 10pm. Having that extra day off is well worth it. As for the heat, deal with it. Everyone has to run in it, everyone will be running slower. Nobody has an advantage.

    My 24x has has a higher cieling than an opti also. But a carb is 200lbs vs a 24x at 100. I'd like to see em both at 100, or even meet in the middle at 150.

    On the same note a lot of guys don't show because they have plans with the family that weekend . Also it falls on the yb Nats and any nhra guys don't show because indy is that weekend .

    But you make all valid points

    I almost didn't make it this year due to the holiday. Everyone took it off for work and I'm low man on the totem pole so I worked 4am to 5pm Friday and hauled from 7pm to 430 am to make the race . Maybe a few low seniority guys like myself didn't Show because the holiday weekend because of work. I know my one buddy couldn't go because of that same reason.

    Just some food for thought

    Starting discussion for the 2016 LTX shootout date, time, and, place. I would like to put the question out there how many people run in nhra event at indenapollis? That would attend the shootout if it was held on a different weekend?
