Very good post by Don K on the CRR race. If the car count would have be closer to what they had hoped for , you would not need anything for filler . The concellation races were a neat race, call you for first round , pull up in your lane of chouce,no pairing just run who was in the other lane. Having been there, this race was as close to ideal for a class racer as it can get !!!

Mark, this may not be the correct forum but the Father's Day combo race in Eau Claire, Wisconsin is rumored to be double $5k's with first round winner money! A little different formula but well received by many and could easily show real world preferences. I wouldn't miss it!

Sure it is...as long as you report on how well the promoters did. ;-)

The Class Racers Revival was the perfect format! Great S/SS racing, CIC race, comp race. Gives you the "have to win" for $25K but if you red light by .001 you still have the combo race! I wouldn't have changed a thing with the format! A week off of work and it being over Easter weekend was the only downfall. I realize timing is tough with track schedules and NHRA schedules but I feel THIS is the way to go! Little fun for everyone! I can't wait until the next one!!
