Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Hi Michael,
Is that the same weekend as Bowling Green? That would loose the entire Louisville Gang. There has to be at least 35 of those guys that always come to the Columbus races, But they will go to Bowling Green as it is a long standing tradition to go there and then pull out Monday morning and run on over to Indy and get in line. Its a big deal. Actually, its a big deal for many, many division 3 racers . I don't think there are many racers that I run with that DONT do it.....

One aspect that we can all agree on is that it certainly won't be chilly like it was this year. I will definitely be there again!

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

No, Bowling Green is the weekend before Indy; this is 2 weekends before Indy which, as others have mentioned, is the same weekend as the Brainerd National Event.

Deleted....I see it...

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

Again, August is a 5-weekend month next year due to Labor Day falling late, so there is a hole in the schedule between Cecil County and Bowling Green for us to jump in.

Michael,with all due respect..that date has two strikes against it. HOT,HOT,HOT, and the Bowling Green and Indy swing.I know you received very little support from the D 1 crowd but it wouldn't surprise me if they (D 1) schedule a points meet on top of your date . Three weeks in a row for many of the racers that you can draw from isn't going to happen, especially as Charley Bob so eloquently pointed out....The Old Farts. M.J.

Re: Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals II
 

I conferred with multiple other sources prior to scheduling the event. I repeat, there is no Div. 1, Div. 2, Div. 3, or Div. 4 event on this date. The only conflict is Brainerd. We do not take decisions lightly, and we research everything to the nth degree.

Some people chose not to race in May. Some people will choose not to race in August. (and with all due respect, the temps for that weekend in August over the last 5 years have averaged in the mid-low 80's in Hebron, OH, as opposed to the regular mid-low 90's in Bowling Green) Other options would have also had multiple weekends in a row, PLUS multiple close conflicts in all directions. What we will do is provide the best race, the most track time, the most fun, and the best bang for your buck, period, which the over 200 cars that attended this year can attest to. Make the choice to be part of the solution.

Lee and Mike, thank you for your support. Looking forward to putting on another great race for you!

That will *have* to be my last year to race. I really am getting too old for this stuff.Thought this year would be my last. I really hope I can make this race.
