2024 Class Racer Nationals... Its A Go!

[Ken Miele]

Thanks Dave for the report...

Hey guys, well I have to thank the 118 Stock and Super Stock racers for their support. You guys made the race a big success. We did have two long oil downs which put us behind 2 hours. If not for those we could have been done by 8:30. We have 2 finals left...

For the main event...
Joshua Decker in his C/SA Corvette vs Marc Lebrecque in his GT/TB S10

Second Chance race...
Bill Pomponi in his G/SA Camaro vs Angelo D. Tocco in his GT/KA Firebird

The top 8 in Stock and Super Stock will not be finished. We met with all the top 8 drivers and it would be to much to get there cars ready along with racing the division race, so we are splitting the purse. Stock did run one round. I will post qualifying results for Stock Super Stock and the top 8 later today. Stock will be out first today, so I need to get my car ready.

I have photos from yesterdays action, and will post them later tonight.
Thanks for all your support, the Class Racer Nationals was a big hit, and special thanks to the sponsors who stuck with us and made this happen.

I know they didn't run until the very end last night, but the STK quick 8 Comp race was absolutely electric. Far and away my favorite thing to watch that you all put on yesterday. I really really hope to see more of that in the future. No AHFS to sweat, just outlaw heads up (kinda) racing at it's finest! Congrats to the winners from the race itself and all those mad men with incredibly fast machines that advanced into the second round of the quick 8 race!!!

Hey guys, I'm still at the track, but did not run the Open. The finals are coming up soon. I'm trying to get my editing done. Here are some photos from the Wednesday action...

Some more thoughts about the Class Racer Nationals. I can't thank all of you enough for the support, the track prep was excellent. So many people were thanking me for a great race, they all were happy they way it was run. It is a shame we could not get the Top 8 finished, but all of the top 8 drivers were okay with the call. I have to thank Mark Dawson the D1 director, we were able to get the finals in on Thursday... D1 is in good hands for sure.

All the sponsors that stuck with us through the years are one of the reasons we were able to put this race on. Testo, the title sponsor, Biondo Racing, Oakes Landscape, Gutters By Design, Weldon High Performance, California Car Covers and ATI. I know its sounds like commercial here, but these guys are big supporters of Class Racing and need to be mentioned.

Another big thanks to Dave Ley, having him here gave the Class Racer Nationals a legit and honest race for Stock and Super Stock, it would have been a nightmare without him. Curt LaShure, D1 tech official also help out Wednesday before the D1 race, big thanks Curt!

Finally I have to thank the DiMino family. The track prep and staff are first rate. Guys, if you have never raced here you owe yourself a trip to Numidia Dragway.

With all that being said... The Class Racer Nationals was an overall success... I hope we can do it again next year. I will be back in a few days with more photos.
