Michael Beard tried this and couldn’t make it work because of low racer turnout. Wake up folks.

Greg nailed this .....I can’t fathom how much work Tyler B and crew put into this race .....

What in the hell is wrong with you active Stock and Super Stock racers? 74 Stockers and 54 Super Stockers. There should of been twice that many. I think there were more D7 cars than D4. Division 3 probably has over 200 active SS racers and 54 total from all divisions show up. These two young men put on a race that has something for everybody. One of the best track prep guys in the country, NHRA tech guys, centrally located on a really nice track. In a month Gateway is going to have a double points race where you get to race for a $1000 and I would bet there will be over a hundred Stockers and 100 Super Stockers. If we keep on not supporting these races there wont be any more of them.I don’t see any way Tyler and Brian didn’t lose money on this race.

Easter weekend for us is not a good race weekend.

I do think it is a good thing for the sport and I would have tried to attend if I had a STK or SS legal car. To Brett's point I would agree, racing is lighter on Easter weekend at most tracks and for those that still have little kids, spring break week is a bad week to go racing. I was on vacation with my kids in the Smokey Mtn's the whole week, scheduled back in October, for instance... It sounds like it was a great event and I hope they do it again next year!

A "HUGE WAY TO GO" to Tyler Bohannon and Brian Whitworth and the Super Support Team the, Wifes Shawna and Girlfriends Megan and the Super Mom Of Tyler Bohannon, Gina who behind the scenes did a heck of a lot of work for the' Ultimate Class Racing Revival" was a ball I froze but the "risk" was worth I can't handle cold weather ever, being from the west lol at me and a huge great job to" Bobby Fazio" the person who along with Brian Mr. Cool Anderson himself put on Class Racing Today podcast interviews what a great time for all Life is Great especially today, Oh and Bob Unkefer is the best announcing.

ya had to look quick but we WERE there, Wednesday only, two Q runs, and for a short while we were in the wheelstand consideration, just behind Cory Hopkins, but quickly dropped down...after second Q, we had water coming out from somewhere (water pump, block, dunno)
Since, because of Easter we planned Wed/Thurs only and spend Easter with family in Kansas City
Since we couldn't diagnose problem nor repair before E1 Wednesday, we loaded up.

Also, we absolutely froze to death Wed AM; just can't take the cold & wind at my age

Soooo, very disappointed in our effort BUT what a tremendous effort put out by TB Promotions, I'm just sick about the area racers support for this in light of the EAST & WEST coast attendees, esp the Mandella crew and Zavala; Larry's interview hit my thoughts exactly, wasn't planning on coming but felt the need to support in some small way
Pit interviews were great, and video views were awesome

As I read the posts by the racers that attended this event, sounds like a success for the racers. I hope more events like this happen.

Watching the racing and listening to the interviews was awesome. Made me feel like I was there. I know racers are real people, but in the interviews the appreciation of the event and those that made it happen was made quite clear. I did not hear anyone with an ego, it was about how cool an event this was and how much fun they were having.
