I was originally thinking ~350 cars, but given the events that have been scheduled on top of us, I've revised that projection to the neighborhood of 280-330 cars between the two classes. A Divisional alone in this region typically draws around 200 S/SS cars, almost strictly from Div. 3, so the support from all over the country should make those numbers easily attainable. I still have a number of people telling me that we'll see over 400.

I have a race purse calculator spreadsheet I developed several years ago. I put some numbers in for our Fall Footbrake Frenzy $20K Thanksgiving race prior to the event. Friday night of the event, I opened up the spreadsheet, and I had plugged in 220 cars. Actual car count: 216. Anthony just shakes his head at me. We're typically pretty good at projecting our car counts and run time.

Was thinking I might go (NO AHFS!) until I found how far that is from Tulsa. Might be too far for this old man. :-(

The NHRA Div. 3 LODRS at Indy is the week before, which will allow a number of people to make a swing out of it. The two tracks are only 3.5-4 hrs apart.

When I lived in NC, I drove straight through to Tulsa, 1107 miles. Tulsa to Columbus is a bunch shorter!

Hard to believe the snow will be melted enough to get the trailer out by then.

Pretty sure you won't need a shovel in May.
