Wow. All I can say is WOW. First off, I would personally like to thank Tony, Kyle, and the rest of the Texas Crew for getting this event going, as well as the Kansas Crew for keeping it going. It is very hard work and very, very stressful.
We set out this year to try and address the issues and concerns of years past as well as add our own spin to the LTX Shootout "Experience". We started by reaching out to ltxtech.com for their support via the Title Sponsorship. They obliged. This forum is very pivotal in the success of the event. You can always count on Larry to be out beating the bushes for new members and constantly bumping the shootout threads daily in the months leading up to the event. It goes without saying that any member on here that does not know about the event has not logged in for 6 months. To Larry, Sean, Meissen and all of the member of this forum, thank you all so very much!
Next, and knowing that we needed all the help with prep we could get, we contacted VP Racing Fuels about a sponsorship. Many do not know this but originally they had pledged us 3 barrels of LC7 track compound. After speaking with the track (extensively) about having them use that glue instead of VHT, they assured us that barring any major weather issues we wouldn't have an issue with traction. As an added precaution we had additional funds on hand for more glue above and beyond what is in the contract. They delivered on their promise and we didn't need the additional prep.
So rather then deciding against the sponsorship, VP then decided to donate the 5 pails of C16 and 5 of Q16 that we used as payout for the Outlaw, Mod PA, and Mod NA classes. Thank you Jason Rueckert at VP!
