Class Nationals event planning

I think we should have it at Bradenton. You guys kill me. Bowling Green is the center of the universe period and will draw 200 cars from that division alone. I think BG can hold 400 stockers easy.

We extensively discussed locations and the reasons for it earlier in this thread. The schedule is jam packed, and there are limited dates available. The best date on the schedule is the first weekend in May. That is historically a rainy weekend at Bowling Green, plus it is likely to be on top of the Southern Nationals at Atlanta, something that would be far more of a conflict with Bowling Green than Columbus. With Atlanta in mind, our primary draw will be from Div. 1, 3, and parts of 5 -- that's where the bulk of the cars are. There are numerous other factors involved as well, including logistics, contacts, costs, weather, host track's schedule, etc. This wasn't a quick decision. I've been researching and planning this literally for years.

No one has attempted such an event in more than a decade. I'm going to do the best that I can for my customers. After the event, we'll study everything and determine how to improve it.
