Dooley & Sons Hot Rod Shop is a premier custom hot rod and restoration company based in Magnolia, Texas. Dooley Cameron started the shop in 1961 in Levelland, Texas as a one man shop. Five decades later with a move to Magnolia, sons Jeff and Tom work at the shop and it has grown beyond their wildest dreams. Today the facility is stretched out over 15 acres, a 20,000 square-foot facility houses custom sheet metal fabrication, upholstery, chassis fabrication, paint and body, exhaust fabrication, and final assembly departments are all under one roof. This arrangement enables the shop to maintain stringent quality control standards by closely monitoring each car through every phase of the build. During the construction phase, project cars can easily move between each department to undergo minor design changes as necessary, resulting in a remarkably well-integrated package from top to bottom. They do it all, from custom engines, expert CAD engineering, award winning interiors, show quality paint and body, metal fab, custom chassis construction – there is nothing that Dooley and Sons can’t do when it comes to making top flight award winning cars!

How The Shootout Works:
Drivers will be awarded points based on their final qualifying position at each event this season. The number 1 qualifier gets 16 points, the number 16 qualifier gets 1 point. Entering the final event of the season October 1st at North Star Dragway, the field will be set and include the top 8 points earners from the first seven events of the year. Those eight cars will be paired on a sportsman ladder.
Alternates:
Any qualified car not in attendance for the Shootout will be replaced by the next car in points, (example – if the number 6 in points is a no show, that car will be replaced by number 7, and continue until a full 8 car field is filled). Any ties in points will be decided by 1) number of events attended, 2) average final qualifying elapsed time.
Eliminations:
The all important first round of eliminations for the Dooley & Sons / AlkyDigger NE Shootout will be held during the first qualifying session. The two quickest winners, without going under the index, will advance to the final round to be run in the second qualifying session. The winner will take home $500! These shootout elimination rounds will not count in SHRA points standings.
