Have to agree with Bill,
Before the Northern Class Nationals you had the Combo in the Hills run by Lee Zane & Brian Van Poppel and the .90 Nationals run by myself. Both were run on off weekends from the local D1 Divisional & National events and the Combo in the Hills was a success on the first year in 2011 for Brian & Lee with car counts (Around 90+) but, the rest of the events we all took a bath by the time everything came out. We had great sponsors who supported the event in contingency (Maybe not $$$ but, in product GC returns) that we gave back to racers with "best losing packages, perfect tree, etc" and still didn't show up. Finding a track that ALL will actually show up is a battle and finding a track that the cost will not be so much. I can tell you from my research besides Numidia your looking at $14,000 to $20,000 a weekend for track rental. You look at LVD with a D1 Race and it always falls pretty short with .90 cars because a lot are based down here and don't like driving to LVD.
I'm not saying it's not a bad idea but, I've been there, done that and my rear end still hurts 3 years later
