As alot of people on here know, 20 years ago was THE U.S. Classnationals. The date was chosen based on 2 assumptions. 1, availability. Byron always had something going on. We were able to get something fit into their schedule on a shorter notice. 2, that the NHRA and IHRA would have somewhat of an involvement, and be good enough to NOT put a race up agianst us. Thus giving any racer who wanted to race the event a choice to race or stay home. As opposed to Race here, or there. Denver was not actually on their schedule yet when we approached them to have discussions. NHRA CHOSE to put Denver against our race. NHRA also said they would not change their date.

In our case, Byron was chosen for they way they operated by getting cars down the track. 20 years later, Id still do it again, and right back at that place. 150 degrees in the shade or not.

Tyler, If I can help you in any way, just ask. I will see where I can.
