You're a lot closer than I am. Tacoma to Columbus is plausible,, Tacoma to Bradenton, I wouldn't even consider it. We've got a year to think about it,,, a lot of things can change by then. Thanks Michael, for giving us something to shoot for.

We continue to work on the finer details of the event. I had the opportunity to talk to a number of the people at the Ohio Valley S/SS banquet this weekend. Great crowd, great people!

The last major post on the topic, I had discussed running a 'King of the Hill' Quick 16 CIC race involving Class winners on Saturday. Racers and sponsors have both expressed an interest in making that a Quick 32. The more I've studied the format, it becomes apparent that it's a lot to get done in two days. That's fine, unless you have issues with weather, oildowns, etc. Adding Friday track rental to the mix will be a financial burden, but it will also give us some wiggle room on the schedule if needed. We will still have qualifying runs on Saturday, so people are not forced to be there earlier if they can't make it.

Friday - Qualifying, Quick 32 Stock, Quick 32 Super Stock, $5K No-Box
Saturday - Qualifying, Class Eliminations, $5K No-Box
Sunday - $5K Stock, $5K Super Stock, $5K No-Box

The Quick 32 CIC races on Friday will be free entry, with the purses sponsor-supported. Any money donated specifically to the Quick 32 programs will go 100% to the racers. To kick things off, Sloan Racing Engines has committed $500. Any business or individual that would like to add to the pot, you can post or PM me here, or e-mail beard@staginglight.com. Please write "Class Nationals" in the subject line. Title Rights position on each Quick 32 as well as Class Eliminations will also be available.

32 car field will be better imo, helps reduce the possibility of one racer getting to the top of the hill without getting dinged via CIC....one guy could have an opponet break and get a couple of red lights from others and get to the final while keeping his/her index intact in a 4 round race. More rounds may equate to more interesting semis and finals.

It might be a good idea to start a thread for the sole purpose of guaging how many people are going to enter this race. I'm thinking this will very likely be a 'woodstock' moment.

Correct. Considered that as well.

That's what this thread was. Having an online attendance poll is not going to get you anywhere near an accurate count as there are way too many people that don't participate here. We're past that, and committed to the event. I think reasonable expectations are for low side 90 Stock and 80 Super Stock, and home run territory being 140 Stock and 125 Super Stock. I've often described the U.S. Class Nationals as a woodstock moment. We will do our very best to produce a great and memorable event for you, one that we hope will be an annual one.

These numbers definitely seem attainable given the location and dates of this awesome race. I'll be there, and I'd love to see it happen!
