Bluegrass Super Shifters Headed To 5 Tracks For 10 Races This Season

For 2015 the Bluegrass Super Shifters series will head back to tracks in Kentucky and Ohio. The series will again feature two classes, S-Stick for cars running slicks and faster than 8.50 ETs in the 1/8-mile, and D-Stick for the slower cars running drag radials or street tires. There are a few changes to the schedule this year, including taking the series to five different tracks.

The biggest change for 2015 will be the series utilizing a Comp Format at some select races. The Comp Format is a way to ensure that racers get more racing in during an event. In these races, racers will get two time runs. A ladder is then set based on reaction time. Competitors will then run four races on a rotating ladder -everyone runs a different car each pass. After the four rounds of racing, the top four cars -those with the most wins, will face off in the semi-finals, with the winners going to the finals.

Bluegrass Super Shifters races are open to anyone with a standard manually operated stick shift transmission to compete. There’s a complete list of rules, but they’re similar to most street car type stick shift class rules. No mechanical aides for shifting or clutch engagement. The complete rules are posted on the BGSS Facebook page.

We’ll likely  head out to a few BGSS races this season, and cover some the action.We may even have to participate with Project 5-Liter Eater. We’ll bring you coverage from a few select BGSS races right here when they happen.
