We would much prefer that Bowling Green be the facility. We know how the staff at Bowling Green feels about class racing. We usually have a 60+ car field at the Combo races (Bowling Green generously hosts an entire series, and guarantees $1500 to win for a small entry fee) and the track prep is the finest there is, not to mention how racers and fans are treated. Bowling Green offers an absolute known quantity, we know for certain how they'll conduct their facility for a race such as this. Also, the location works, people are familiar with the track, and happy with it, you only need to see the attendance and results from both the Open and the points race. Racers from almost every division in the nation know that when they come to Bowling Green, the track itself will be first rate, and not only will the facility treat them as honored guests, but so will the town that surrounds it.

However, we will certainly support the race if Michael chooses Columbus as the facility.

We spoke with Michael at length at IMIS, twice. The class racers here really need to get on board, and in a public way. We need to help Michael show both the facility and potential sponsors that this race has overwhelming support from the racers.
