Wink Re: Class Nationals event planning

The original US Classnationals was truly a historic event for those that follow our sport, and a blast for all of us who were there, both racers and spectators. We all left there hoping for a second edition, but it didn't happen. Hopefully this project will come to a fabulous finish. I know there were some headaches along the way for Alex and his team, but in the end, it was a well run event, and the track people got it in on time each day. I would hope the same format could be followed if possible, but with the demise of Top Stock, I'm sure there will need to be some changes made.
Some pros I remember: NHRA & IHRA cars coming together.
All Stick cars opened the qualifying.
The Quick 32s on Sat. afternoon.
The Outlaw SS cars( I'd never seen those before)
Some cons I remember: The terrible heat and humidity.
Scheduled same dates as a national event,
although the car count was still tremendous.
I truly hope this can be pulled off,, I've never been to Earlville before, but I've seen photos that show it could handle an event like this, and its somewhat centrally located, which could help some racers decide to participate, instead of passing due to travel costs.
My 2 cents,, good luck with your efforts.
