Michael,

First, all of us should commend you for stepping forward and throwing your "hat in the ring" to make another Class Nationals take place. We all know what Alex went through to make the first edition happen. This is going to be a thankless job and racers being what they are, will make life difficult.

Having said that, with your experience running succesful Footbrake Big Buck Bracket races, you are the man to make it happen!

As for location of the venue, this decision is going to take considerable thought as some racers will have their noses out of joint when you finally decide. As I am sure you fully understand but it must be stated, "you can't please all the people all of the time."

Given the busy racing schedule of most tracks in the summer, the decision will need to take place sooner than later. One for planning purposes for the tracks and the other to allow the racing community to plan their racing activities.

Given the nature of geography and racer penetration, Division 3 is a good choice however the stellar reputations at Cordova or Earlville makes for a good business case.

Regardless of what you decide, please consider my support and involvement once you make your final decision.

Regards,

Mike Ferstl
