It's official. The ISSCA 2014 Nats are a go! July 30-Aug 2 back in Charlotte!

More info coming soon but here's the basic info...



March, 2014

Dear ISSCA Members,

2014 Nationals: ISSCA is proud to officially announce the dates for the 2014 ISSCA Nationals at Charlotte Motor Speedway and zMax Dragway from Wednesday, July 30th through Saturday, August 2nd. We think 2014 will be even better than the 2013 event as we have added some more fun events and locales for your to enjoy. Our local host club CARISSMA has once again done a great job of getting ISSCA lined up for a great week. Among the new things are a scheduled Poker Run with prizes awarded to the best team on Wednesday (coinciding with Dyno Day) and the car show will be at Hendrick Motor Sports including a Hendrick hand-picked winner as well as the legendary Hendrick Impalas on display. Additionally, Richie Parker will be a guest judge again and displaying his own Impala(s) at the show. Much more to come but we wanted to let you know this event is going to be bigger and better than last year and we can’t wait! Stay tuned, the website will be live soon for registration.
One topic still under discussion is the road course. We are negotiating with Charlotte Motor Speedway for the ROVAL, a much bigger road course where we would be up on the high bank oval in turns 1 and 2 at CMS. However this will cost ISSCA up to an additional $10,000 so we will set up a pricing structure to see how many are interested and want to incur a greater cost to go on a fantastic road course. CMS has been working with us and the good news is we don’t have to make a decision on having the same road course as last year or doing the ROVAL. That will be determined by the members registration. If we collect money from you towards the ROVAL and we stay with last year’s infield course that money will be refunded to the members so there is no risk involved.

ISSCA Auction: As you know we had some products donated by our good friends at Street Trends and there are still a few items left. We auctioned off a few items already to the members who attended Nationals but now we are opening it up to all ISSCA members. Please go to www.issca.org to view and hopefully bid on the items that you like.

ISSCA Renewal: Reminder to please please please renew your 2014 ISSCA Membership. We can’t do this without your support. Go to www.issca.org or directly to http://issca.org/join-us/ If you don’t remember your ISSCA number don’t worry. Just enter 9999 in the box and we will look it up for you.
Thanks and please stay tuned for more info coming for 2014.

Regards,
Bill DeBlasio

Bill - I just re-joined ISSCA last evening. Brenda and I , are looking forward to heading south to Charlotte this summer for the Nationals to see everyone. Hopefully, I will have some free time to participate with our New York Club " LISST " this year on Long Island. It's good to be back, looking forward to seeing everyone I have known in the Impala SS Club Scene since 1997.
Hey Wutz, how's it going? Glad to see you back.
You won't be disappointed with Charlotte, what a great time.
Hope all is well.
Also, and we will add it to the site as well, we will have Bryan Herter DYNO TUNING once again at Sticky Fingers on Wednesday, July 30th.

More info to come and I will start a 'list' soon.

Same dyno guys, same Bryan, same place.

At this moment we cannot commit to Saturday tuning as we are not sure Hendrick will allow a portable dyno there.

Dyno tunes will be $175 to Bryan and $75 to PowerCurve Motorsports for a total of $250. This gets you 3 pulls and Bryan's tuning skillz.

DIRECT FROM BRYAN:
I can do the dyno tuning for $175 (same as our mail order tuning normal price) and tunes not on the dyno for $100.
I think since I was just down there last year we will probably be able to do all the dyno tunes in one day as there won't be as many guys needing dyno tunes.

Bryan Herter
Lead Programmer of 94 and newer cars and trucks for
WWW.PCMFORLESS.COM
724-349-4431 M-F 9AM to 7PM Eastern

Order Sheets and pricing can be found on our website

OK here is the list...let me know what you want, once the slots fill up we don't know if there will be more.

I will take 10 & 11
I thought you weren't coming?

Thumbed badly from my Galaxy S4 Active...
I'll take the noon slot for my Impala.

Roger
Done.

Im really trying to make this event. I have some major house renovations this year. My city is really screwing me on permits and zoning issues. It keeps getting more and more expensive. This has been an ongoing headache since March. Hopefully it ends :/ or just begins????
Make it be so.
It's only money, which comes and goes. However, Nats only happens once a year, and you never know when we will be back at Charlotte Motor Speedway, if ever. :D
Karl that sounds great.

Hey guys, we need some registrations STAT! We are spending a lot more this year for the road course yet registrations are lagging behind last years pace. Please, won't you think of the children?

Any help is appreciated!

Thx.
Barry, done!
Jonathan, I am sure as it gets closer someone will step up for your spot.

----

BTW...
Guys please get those registrations going...we don't want to have to pull the plug for lack of advance registrations!
LDTT!
Thanks Chris - 11am slot is yours.

-----

Here is a recap of the letter I just sent out to the ISSCA masses...

-----

First of all, the new ISSCA Scene is posted online and it looks great. Lots of pics, info and of course hard work went into this issue as always. Thank you ISSCA SScene editor Jim Gross!

Go check it out here: http://issca.org/newsletter/

On another note:
I hope everyone who is planning on coming to Nationals this year signs up soon. We don’t want to have to cancel the event for lack of participation. I know we all wait until the last minute to register, it’s almost an ISSCA tradition, but this year we went all out to make this even bigger and better than last year and committed to some big expenses. So hopefully all of you ‘been there, done that’ people will see this year will be a big upgrade over last year’s successful event and come back. And for those of you who missed out in 2013 we hope you plan to be there in 2014.

We are using the full ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2014. For those of you who loved the parade laps, you will really love this much bigger and longer course as you get out on the high bank oval and go as fast as you feel comfortable going.

Also, we have secured Hendrick Motorsports for the car show, including a tour of the rarely seen by the public private collection of Mr. Hendrick. http://www.wcnc.com/charlotte-today/Rick-Hendricks-private-car-collection-194225671.html

Richie Parker will be back as a celebrity car show judge.

and will bring his 95 Impala SS as well.


Sticky Fingers will be back as a major sponsor and we will have a great banquet and awards ceremony like last year.

John Rafteseth and Mike “SSmitty” Smith will be there to see who will be the King of the Hill after last year’s showdown where SSmitty ran an 8.84 at 156 mph in an early round but Big John’s car won a wild and wooly final round showdown.

Bryan Herter from www.pcmforless.com will be there dyno tuning all day on Wed 7/30 and it’s a blast just watching all the cars on the dyno and seeing who can make the most power right there in Sticky Fingers parking lot!

Much more to talk about, but hopefully you get the idea. And the excitement!

Please sign up ASAP or, regretfully, we will either have to ask for personal sponsorships or more likely cancel the event: http://issca.org/issca-national-gathering/ .

We appreciate all of you who have already signed up but we need more of you to commit. If you can’t come this year, please help support the event with the t-shirt package. We need a big push by the end of June, 6/30. We can’t do this without you, the members. If you would like to help sponsor the event, please contact me directly. Last year’s event coordinator has been working 90 hour weeks and we haven’t been able to ask/beg the sponsors to donate as much as we would have liked. Either way, I have faith in our membership and we will do our best to once again exceed your expectations for a great event.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and another fantastic Nationals!

Thanks,

Bill

Helpy, helpy?

Volunteers Needed - especially for the car show and Wed registration
Thanks for all the kind words so far, no here is your chance to help out. Even a few hours during the week is extremely helpful. Car show judges (we will train you!) and help with registration on Wednesday are especially appreciated!

Here are the slots, let me know what you are interested in. Just because there are a few names in a slot does NOT mean we don't need more help. If you don't care, let me know and I can slot you in somewhere.

Tony & SSally could also use some young fresh legs to help with the 50-50 all week.

Thanks in advance!
