Class Nationals event planning

[Michael Beard]

Will these come in red and blue, too?

Might be red, might be blue, but will just be one of those colors (not a finalized design yet: hope to add sponsors), then likely alternate every other year. I will also do Eliminator Winner decals for the winners of the Quick 32's, the NitroPlate S/SS Combo Warmup, Ultimate Converter Stock Eliminator, and Super Stock Eliminator.

The different colors on the run stickers are just to help separate up very large fields and keep the staging lanes running smoothly.

Mike, not trying to be too critical of your comments but at the Columbus LODRS...of
the 7 D1 Stock entries....one was from Indiana...and the rest from Western NY and
Western PA...

There were 6 D1 SS entries....ALL from Western NY/PA.....

These racers always go to Columbus...(I've checked DRC)...most likely because it's
something like 4-6 hours CLOSER than let's say Epping....maybe more?

Factor in the heat wave at Epping....and you know why they stayed away!

Lebanon Valley is a LONG way also...from the "heart" of D3...and can be HOT there
as well...UNLESS you're in the points and need to grab an out of Division event...

Well....enough of that!

Mike...I DO want to say THANK YOU for all the hard work you've done to bring back
the Class Nationals...It's not here yet...but looks to be a CAN'T MISS event....

Not sure if I can make all 3 days...want to see the Finals on Sunday...but want to see
Class Elims too...might have to skip Friday for Sunday....

I hope that Bob Michael goes....with the Grand Prix! Likewise...Denny Ford...with the
409 Chevy......

You guys listening?

I live on the PA/OH line (1.5 miles from Ohio). Columbus is 170 miles or so. Norwalk is 140. So, for Pittsburgh area racers, maybe 200 and 175 (give or take).

For me, Maple Grove at 300 miles is my closest in-Division race. I went to Lebanon Valley to spectate in 1997, it was about 525. Epping is quite a bit further for me, maybe 700-750 miles (750 is the same distance, give or take, as Atlanta would be).

So yeah, Ohio is MUCH closer for some D-1 racers to go to two races, and skip LebVal and Epping.

This will be a great race. I will do whatever I have to, God willing,to be there.

Not critical -- that was precisely my point! There is virtually no overlap at LODRS races, meaning that the total number of potential Stock and Super Stock competitors within a day's tow is astronomical. 300-350 cars for the event is quite attainable.

Mike, you have a PM.

Avid S/SS fan Chris Mohring will be posting contingency of $200/Win and $100/RU plus one free 8" x 10" to both the winner and runner-up for Sunday's $5K main events, with display of decals for www.coolracephotos.com (decals to be available in the next month or so).
