With the schedule the way it is this year, it's been nonstop with race weekends. Numidia LODRS, the Sportsnationals, back to the Classracer race, the Dave Ley race this weekend, the Atco LODRS, another Dave Ley Race, a weekend off and then for some Bowling Green and Indy. Then throw the Keystones in after Indy, and then VA, we end up racing 10 races in 12 weeks. The perfect storm classracer race was the 1st one..because of Covid, and the ability to race 2 weekends in a row at the same track, gave people the ability to leave their trailers there and race 2 weeks when everything else was being cancelled.

Most Classracer people are not money chasers. A big dollar race will not draw the cars that a Wally race will draw. Wether its the structure of NHRA races, the Wallys , some kind of tech, heads up races or a combo of all of it, most will flock to the NHRA race. Even over ane NMRA race top.

But the Classracer race is different. Everyone respects what Ken does on this site, and many including myself came to support him. If this was just a money race like some of the other there have been, I would have taken a weekend off to cut my dead grass and catch up on things around the house. Ken added an element of prizes, giveaways, qualifying money, and other elements that made it enjoyable.
I liked to Top Stock race and only hope somehow that can come back with some enthusiasm from the racers who would participate.

Hopefully the schedule will allow a slot next year to try this race again. Some have said an August race pre Bowling Green /Indy would be a god tuneup for those events, but who knows what next years schedule will be. I only.hope it works out to have one again next year and we can get more participants.
