RJ and I had discussed coordinating a Sportsman Car Show at a local mall the day before the qualifying. This could be done a couple times a year. It would require the racers that participate (in the show) to come in a day early, but I think it would be enjoyable for all involved.

Dick Butler and I have had some preliminary discussion about the possibility of doing a show at his huge Grandpa's Garage business and cross-promote with the Northern Class Nationals next spring.

It would be nice if our new division director could help coordinate this with a local mall, the track, and minimal presence by the NHRA at the event. What say you?

I've participated in several pre-race shows before: a few at Norwalk ("Thunder in the Streets"), and one they did at Milan one year.
