Class Nationals event planning

Very cool. Keep up the good work!

Through Facebook, I've discovered photographer Chuck Clark. He's one of several I'm talking with about the possibility of shooting at the Northern Class Nationals. He's got a gallery of sweet shots like this one on his Facebook page. Here's the Norwalk Super Stock gallery: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1806503&type=3

Hm. Works on my end. Maybe you have to 'friend' him. Look up Chuck Clark, or try https://www.facebook.com/chuck.clark.501

Excellent image, will be a great event Michael. Remember many don't use Facebook.

Yup, it works now after I "friended" him.

Given the level of interest shown, we're going to bump up the payouts from the original plan.

Sunday Main Event
Stock Eliminator and Super Stock Eliminator (EACH: 2 completely separate eliminators, just like a regular national event. Not a Combo!)
WIN $5,000
R/U $2,000
Semi $800
6th Rnd Loss $500 (if over 128 cars. All Run field)
5th Rnd Loss $400
4th Rnd Loss $300
3rd Rnd Loss $200

As before, $260 Weekend Entry covers Qualifying on Fri & Sat, Class & Quick 32 CIC races, and the Main Event $5K Eliminators on Sunday. Tech, Scales, Fuel Check, and Heads-Up runs in effect.

Saturday Combo details...
S/SS Combo Warmup
WIN $3,000!
R/U $1,000
Semi $500
Rnd Money $50/Rnd (Starting with 3rd Rnd Loss)
Entry $100

Rules for the S/SS Combo Warmup -- knowing that there could be a massive amount of entries in the Combo, I've tried to set rules to move things along as efficiently as possible while maintaining the performance aspect of Class Racing when possible. Since we won't know who all has entered the Combo until potentially the last minute, it makes sense to roll with random pairings for the first two rounds to get us down to a manageable field size where we have time to calculate and set pairings. This will also allow us to separate Stock and Super Stock the first two rounds, which many people prefer. 3rd round, we should be down to around 30-40 cars, at which point we can set a ladder and put heads-up runs back in effect.
1st & 2nd Round: Stock and Super Stock will be called to the lanes separate. Pairings will be Random Draw, with no Heads-Up runs.
3rd Round through Finals: Cars will be put on a Ladder starting 3rd Rnd on based on Rnd 2 E.T. Heads-Up runs WILL be in effect starting 3rd Rnd.

Sound good? Comments/questions/suggestions?

Chuck Clark is the "King of the Pan Shot"; he does exceptional work.

Good and fair plan,Michael .
I assume 1st draw gives you the pairing...Second draw for lane choice,,if necessary?

Also 2nd rd. ET,,,Closest to dialed ET, or fastest under the index (i.e. Qualifying) ?
Thanks.. trying to save you a few emails ;-)
