I figured I'd fire up a thread for this event and get some discussion started.

It's a good time, and a great group of people. The Mark VIII attendance is low, but some of our best are always in attendance. (not to mention my own lowly green mark, rockin' the T&T lane after about pass 3)

2015 Southern Super Heavy Shootout


SSHS15 will be held at Atlanta Dragway on Saturday, November 14th, 2015. It is located in Commerce, GA, about an hour north of downtown Atlanta on I-85.


This premier event, will settle on the drag strip which two ton Mopar, GM, or Ford heavyweight has what it takes to win two bracket racing ET classes, Pro Street, 12.00 Index class, and the Big Dog all-out heads up class.


This event will match some of the fastest Chargers, 300Cs, Impalas, Caprices, Mark VII’s, Mark VIII’s, Marauders and Crown Vics on the planet, along with any other heavyweight domestic car or truck weighing in at 4000 pounds or more with driver. That would also make some late model heavyweight pony cars like the Camaro SS, Challenger R/T, and the Mustang GT 500 eligible to compete if you meet the 4000 pound with driver weight requirements.

If not, there is always plan B.

Worst case, Plan CE. LOL ;)

Hi Gary, Long time, no hear. Good luck racing that soccer mom grocery getter. Do you plan to race in one of the heads-up classes? Not sure you heard, but I will not be attending the shootout this year. The Mark is fine and ready to go, but plans were made for the second weekend not knowing the shootout was bumped to the same weekend. :wave:

Ok sounds good Gary. I need to check the calendar. On my way back home from cruise to Puerto Rico, St Maarten, and St Kitts. Just passed Orlando and Wendy has the Caddy set on ludicrous speed lol. I can't look...

I'm afraid it isn't looking good for me, either. I've just been informed I'm supposed to be in a wedding that day... I'm waiting for more details.

I just made reservations at the Fairfield for Friday and Saturday night. :)

So, who all is coming to the event??? :confused:

I would surely hate to be the Lone Lincoln.

It's tearing me up not going this year, JP. I was talking to Wendy about it last night. This is the first time in over a decade that she will not be in Commerce for her birthday.

Have you decided which vehicle to race yet?

Great news, Everyone!

The wedding has been postponed!

I just made reservations at the Fairfield myself.. JP, I'll be sending you a PM.

Anyone else? I know FastMark was giving it some thought...

And, I'm now all paid up for the event.

Changed my oil yesterday, got my tires re-balanced today. Assuming I get all packed this evening, I'll probably hit the road first thing tomorrow (Tuesday) Morning.

JP, How's your prep-work coming? Decide on a car yet?

Prep? :eek-large:

I was supposed to prep?!

Oh, yes, the obligatory oil change. LOL :laugh:

I never got around to it this past weekend and will hopefully get it done one evening this week before Thursday evening when I plan to head that way in the '96. :wink2-green

I figure to just drive the car. I don't plan on setting any land speed records and hopefully won't break anything. :love-it:
