Thank you so much, Randall, it means a great deal! It was an early and easy decision for us to honor Alex as our Grand Marshal, as he started this whole crazy train!
I've worked with or for numerous race tracks and promoters, a sanctioning body, have worked several different aspects of Bracket Finals events, and have been co-promoter of some successful big-money bracket race specialty events with my Loose Rocker partner Anthony Walton since 2011... but *I'm* shocked at just how much goes into this event! We've got our big money bracket races about down to a science, and had our biggest (399 entries) and smoothest race just over a month ago at Virginia Motorsports Park, but this is a totally different animal. While some research on this event was started as much as four years ago, the heavy planning has taken place over the last 18 months, and even that doesn't feel like enough!
One thing I can guarantee is that we will work as hard as we possibly can to make this event an incredibly fun family reunion with a whole lot of highly competitive racing. We will try to make everything operate as smooth, painless, and efficient as possible. As we've mentioned a few times, we'll need your help! Help us help you, and we'll have the World's Greatest Stock and Super Stock race. Will an inaugural event run perfectly? No. But when we do run into a snag, we'll address it as quickly and fairly as possible. Have an issue or catch something we've missed? Bring it to our attention! We're racers too, and we're here to work for you.
That's just the tip of the iceberg of STUFF for you guys! (except the fresh ATI converter, that's mine... and need to find time to install it, SOMEtime!)
There's a mountain of Class Winner trophies in another room, and Anthony's got more goodies coming up with him from North Carolina.
We are simply WIDE OPEN, and come May, we hope you are too!
