Hemi Shootout was finished in the afternoon, 3 rounds back to back, like True Street. Three round average was to get closest to a second, but not below, for 9-15 seconds. Closest car wins that index.
Quickefs 8 cars average gets them to the Quick 8. This is then a heads-up race for thsse 8 cars on a Pro Tree, (I think .400 tree). Winner and R/U pays. Several cars in the 9s. Quick 8 is on Sunday.

Every round pays in the quick 8 even 1st round loser is $100

glad to hear you were done in the afternoon. I don't know why Indy is so screwed up. At 131 the last 2 years we run all 3 runs back to back in the afternoon. At Indy in 2020 we made 1 pass at 4:30 and it was 4 hours later before our next 2. 2021 it was after 9pm before we ran all 3 runs

So what is the hemi shootout?
I thought that your 3 qualifying times were averaged and the 8 fastest raced for a winner?

You also get a time run before the 3 passes. If it is done correctly you do all 3 together. I believe you get 2 runs on Friday also. So 6 passes plus maybe more on Sunday for free. Tickets to get in everyday also. And if you run the nitto 555rII and win your time you get $1000. I was .005 away from winning the last time but won twice in 2020

Says HHP on windshield so probably

 

[vortecd]

I don't see the windshield banner they make us put on or the stickers on the fenders for the quick 8
