It doesn't where to population center is, trying to be fair to all who want to support this program.

How about we hold it in Gainesville and you can travel 1000 miles?

I'd drive a thousand miles to race a Class Nat'ls, if I still raced (drove 500+ for the other one, just to spectate). Raced in Stock at over twenty tracks in twelve states--travel doesn't bother me. Drove 1,100 miles, twice, to race the Orlando Nat'l Open. And would drive further than that for another Class Nationals. Again, how bad do you want to race? If a racer wants to, they will. If not, they won't. Move this race to Florida, you won't get 125 cars combined between Stk and S/S. Have it centrally located, you'll get 200+ easy (the first Class Nat'ls had 187 (yes, one-eighty-seven, eight rounds to win) Stockers and 110 S/S.

It's only common sense (yeah, it's not so common anymore in life) to put a race such as this in a location that has the BEST chance to draw the MOST cars.
