2010 GATEWAY OUTLAW ALL STARS SERIES CONTINUES ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16th!
The sixth event in the 2010 Outlaw All Stars Series takes place on Saturday, October 16th, with more wild, wheelstanding action coming to Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois. Spectator admission is still only ten dollars with children under thirteen years old admitted free!
The event will be one of two OAS races in the month of October with the Championship Finals to be held on Saturday, October 30th. With the season point titles up for grabs, the October 16th program could be one of the most important of the year. Tim McAmis Performance Parts and the American Drag Racing League have posted noncontingent cash awards for the entire 2010 Outlaw All Stars Series and Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheels will award new rear tires to every OAS point champion at the end of the 2010 season!
Jeff Hansen and his ProCharger-equipped ‘69 Camaro has overtaken Jamie Hutchins and his supercharged ‘59 Corvette for the point lead in Outlaw Eliminator with Mike Richter‘s 706-cubic inch Chevy Cavalier now in third place. In Super Street (True 10.5) Eliminator points, Tim Gehrs and his outrageous ProCharged ‘81 Olds Cutlass holds a miniscule two-point lead over Mark “Woody” Woodruff‘s turbocharged 7.5-second ’67 Corvette with Will “Cuda” Johnson’s supercharged ‘93 Mustang closing fast. Tom Derby and his Missouri-based nitrous oxide-injected ‘69 Camaro has jumped into the lead in Drag Radial Eliminator over Steven Biggs‘ turbocharged 2004 Mustang from Tennessee but recent winner Brett Heidgerken’s nitrous-aided ‘67 Chevelle in now in third place. Eric Sanzottera is in position to wrap the point title in Outlaw Motorcycle with his 195 mph “no wheelie bar“ Suzuki Hayabusa but he‘ll have to stop the seven-second Kawasakis of Keith Hug and Mike Wagner to do it!
In the Index categories, Nelson Taylor leads Dusty Katich in another Suzuki-Kawasaki war for the 9.50 Street Bike lead. Steve Pearson’s Chevy Vega, Frank Radake’s ’68 Camaro and Pat Nothdurft’s 66 Mustang are locked in a near dead-heat in the 10.0 point race. Bud Gilliam’s Chevy Monza is barely ahead of second-generation racer Dennis Pearson’s ’98 Camaro in the 11.0 standings and Lee Edgar’s brutally consistent ’89 Mustang is being threatened by Jason Hilleman’s ’81 Camaro in the 12.0 division. Paul Hagen seems to be unstoppable in the 13.0 class with his ‘99 Formula Firebird leading Tim Seibel’s ’85 Monte Carlo while Tim Mallicoat, Jr., holds a slim lead in his ’91 S-10 pickup while struggling to stop possible double champion Dusty Katich from winning the 14.0 Eliminator crown. In all, over two hundred drivers have earned points in Outlaw All Stars Series competition in 2010!
Gates open at 1:00 PM with qualifying and timed trials beginning at 3:00 PM. Eliminations start at 7:30 PM Saturday night!
The OAS offers very low entry fees for equally modest purses but will accommodate virtually any vehicle. Spectator admission is also extremely cheap at $10 for adults with all children under 13 years admitted free. The program and its rules were created with a goal of offering nearly all competitors a class in which to compete without the expense of adding new equipment. All purses will be based on the number of entries in each competition division and will be presented to the winner and runner-up in each class. Purse money will be accrued from all competitors above the basic $20 GIR entry fee for all contestants. Payout to the finalists will be 70% of the total accrued awarded to the winner and 30% of the total accrued awarded to the runner-up in each eliminator category.
All vehicles entered for competition must pass a basic NHRA technical inspection and must comply with all rules for the eliminator category entered as well as the NHRA-mandated regulations for advanced performance including additional safety equipment, chassis construction and driver licensing requirements. Detailed rules can be found in the 2010 Gateway International Raceway Rules and Regulations available at St. Louis Drag Racing.com by clicking HERE.
