Michael, I think Mr. Paul that manages Memphis International Raceway would work with you on an event like this. I would love to see a more centralized location for this event.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I appreciate that, but we need a substantial car count to cover the strong payouts and all of the extras we do. We are currently in a fairly central location per capita. We'll have to see how we do this year and next with different schedules within this strong draw area. I like Memphis, but unfortunately, even in its NHRA National Event days, they did not drawn the cars necessary to support this kind of event. It would take a serious commitment from the racers.

I understand. Bowling Green would be a nice place to have it too.

Looked into it last year. Prohibitively expensive.

IHRA Cars are shunned at Bowling Green for their other S/SS combo races.
No reason to go where you are aren't welcomed especially when you are the paying customer.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

That is irrelevant to an independent event put on by an outside promoter. We set the class rules. Our concerns are location, facility and staff, scheduling, weather, and cost.

...I know its really not...just pointing out a fact.
I am pretty sure your events will be successful most any where you would decide to have one.
