D2 races to include 3 Unleashed classes

I believe the price of traveling is the main reason for the lack of racer support. I myself had some mechanical problems last year and could not make the races that were the closest to me (200 miles).
The Nashville area has always had a lot of Stock Superstock cars. Much like the Elnglishtown/Atco/Maple Grove area. Most of the other areas are less populated by stk/ss cars.
As far as running the 1/8 mile goes I shift my car less than 100 feet short of the 1/8 mile. Making it very hard for me to turn around and guage the other car. If I put in an electric shifter that could help. But as it is now I don't think I can be competitive, unless I just used 1st and 2nd, but then the motor would be over 9000 at the finish (it revs quick in second gear).
Most of the cars in the association I'm in are from Florida. So I would not expect them to setup a race in South Carolina, Alabama, etc. The race in Reynolds Georgia had very little support.
