Class Nationals event planning

[Michael Beard]

Thanks Ellis! I hope you and the rest of our ClassRacer family had a great holiday. One more to go! Don't y'all overdo it on New Year's!

Each year, the floodgates open up Jan. 1 in the design & printing biz. Adding in planning and promotion of four events (Northern Class Nationals, plus we have three big money bracket races on the schedule for 2013) will make things busier than ever, but we're excited.

When I say "we", I'm referring to my partner in Loose Rocker Promotions, LLC, Anthony Walton. Anthony is a long-time bracket racer from Jacksonville, NC, and a big fan of S/SS racing. Years ago, he once won 11 races in a row, which included different tracks, cars and classes! Pretty crazy. In recent years, he's primarily been racing his street GMC Sonoma in Footbrake. He hopped in his dad's Malibu this season, and finished second in Top ET points at Coastal Plains. He's currently working on plans to refurbish his long-dormant '68 Camaro into Stocker trim.

Here's a shot of Anthony running his truck in the 1000' Shootout at the World Footbrake Challenge a couple years ago. Seriously?! How's he do that? LOL



All the Class Nationals planning and information is right here on ClassRacer.com, but if you'd like to see some of the event coverage we've done for our other events, check out www.looserocker.com As noted earlier, one very important component in our events is making sure you get the ink you deserve! National Trail Raceway is already on 1320go, so you'll have Live Timing, and I've already been researching fully-produced live video feeds as well. While we'll need sponsorship to get that done, it provides remarkable value in itself, opening up the event to a much larger audience, and we can run both banner ads and commercials. Lots of great opportunities possible for racers and advertisers alike!
