I wanted to check with the family first, but yes, that's a great idea. With his contributions to the performance side of our sport, we felt it would be appropriate to both remember and honor him with the CIC race. Dave was one of the first ones to step up and support that program. Henceforth, it will be known as the Dave Layer Memorial Quick 32.

We should have our event date in the next week or two. Also, if you've followed the "2015 Rules" thread, you may have already seen that we will be using the new NHRA "Factory" class structures. We did our own "FX" classes in Stock last year, so we're happy to see NHRA take this step on their own in both Stock and Super Stock. We'll order more Lucas Oil Class Eliminations trophies!
