"Live" from the Classracer Nationals

Think we should all give Ken & Tim a big thanks for putting on this event. Thanks to all the sponsors who helped them out because it's because of them they were able to do what they could do for the racers. We know it's tough out there right now and even tougher being a promoter. We are the first ones to get the *** next to an event when someone is making a schedule in the beginning of the year because we know what comes first in people's minds.

I know I have said some things in the past but, Ken & I had a long chat up on the hill at Numidia when I was doing contingency at the D1 race about being a promoter. I joked that all of us should try to get together a write a book about "How to get cars to Numidia" because I wish we knew what the formula was. I can say that Numidia's schedule was pretty jammed packed this year with lots of Big $$$ bracket races (Mutt & Jeff, Harrington, Numidia 150, FRBR) so it was tough to find a good date. I even tried to get the .90 cars up there for a series race around the Divisional and all weekends were booked, which is great for Bob, Vinny & Family. They have put a lot of effort into that place to make it what it is today. Maybe if they do the double again for D1 in 2023 (Wed to Sun), try to grab the weekend before, I know I have encountered from talking to people are that people are skeptical about leaving their stuff at any track for 2 weeks in case of weather hitting and the race being cancelled...I'm sure a few are still trying to recover from Columbus being nixed and now having to find an alternative race if they are chasing points.

Either way Ken & Tim, great job on doing what you did. Ever want to include the .90 cars down the road to give everyone a breather in between, let me know...we park on the other side and stay out of everyone's hair but, I know you want to try to keep it to Stk & SS type cars..
