Class Nationals event planning

Announcing Staff
I have Mike Bassin (NHRA Div. 1) lined up to announce -- very knowledgeable on S/SS (supplier of an impressive 'history lesson' on the mic at the very first LODRS I ever attended!) Reinhart will likely working the Southern Nationals at Atlanta. I'd love to have Leo come out to enjoy the race. Hopefully he will be in good health and can enjoy some mic time as well. I don't have any contact info for him. I wouldn't mind touching base with him if someone wants to PM me info. I've talked with Unk. I'd rather he be able to race, but if he doesn't have a ride, I'll see if we can get him out here. Mike Carr and I are likely to do a little relief pitching as well. Can't have *everybody*, as staffing is a massive part of the budget, but we will be sure to entertain!

Starting Line
Redman will be bringing his understudy (Bradley, I believe his name is) to aid in starting line prep and maintenance. I told him anything he wants or needs, done! Starting line is priority #1, and Red's in charge.

Church Service
Mike Imhoff from Racers for Christ and God Speed Ministry will be on hand with the good word providing encouragement all weekend, with non-denominational services Sunday morning.

Photography
While we have some finalizing of details to do, it looks like Chip Bralley will be our official event photographer, with a few skilled amateur shutterbugs like Chuck Clark and Tom Kasch among others providing 'visual color commentary'.

Live Video
As announced earlier, Mark Walter and crew of DragStory.com and MotorManiaTV.com will be providing LIVE streaming video and Live Timing from 1320go.com all weekend long. This 4-camera, fully produced coverage is the best in the business! They also archive footage to view on demand. They just did the World Footbrake Challenge in Bristol this weekend, garnering over 28,000 viewers in 73 countries in a single day!
