Arrow Norwalk Q-16 2016
I was wondering if anyone has an idea around where the bump will be for the door cars this year or what it was last year. I'm finally making it back to Norwalk after nine years. Really looking forward to the event I always have a great time meeting new people and seeing some old friends.

Thanks Ryan

8.3-50 i'd guess.

You should run the heads up race. Gotta weigh 3399. If you can get there.

I thought about but not I'm not sure about spending a bunch of money to add weight and go slower. I don't think I would be fast enough to be competitive.

It would be great to see you run in the heads up race. You can run both the Q16 and h/u.

Run both races...might as well maximize your racing time while you're there.

Bump could be 7.99 or 8.80 it all depends on who shows and how many break.......oh ya also the temps! 10-15 degrees is about a tenth! Also depends on how many non-door cars show up.

The rules don't allow that in the Q16 race unfortunately. You can still do the Saturday brackets.

Is the Head's Up race on Saturday?
(seems like it was)

The Q16 qualifiers can't race the other races on Sunday.

I ran the Heads Up race on Sat and the Q 16 on Sunday. The qualifying runs for the Q 16 is Sat and one on Sunday morning. If you do well in the Heads Up race you may only get 1 Q 16 qualifying run on Sun morning.
