Can't wait to run at this event again. Really was a good time.

2015 Mello Yellow schedule shows: Southern Nationals, Atlanta on May 15-17.
Kansas Nationals, Topeka on May 22- 24.
Don't know if these would affect participation, due to distance from Columbus, but perhaps some racers will "bundle" a couple race weekends in a row. Too bad LODRS schedule isn't out yet. Theres some pretty attractive flight packages going right now for those of us who would fly in to spectate as soon as we get a date.

Class Nationals needs it own National Records.
Then use the NR as the Index to runoff of.

Hey Michael I'll be willing to help next year if possible and here's just a thought how about a Dave Layer memorial race or something in memory of Dave ?

Michael Beard · 11-03-2014, 07:06 PM

I wanted to check with the family first, but yes, that's a great idea. With his contributions to the performance side of our sport, we felt it would be appropriate to both remember and honor him with the CIC race. Dave was one of the first ones to step up and support that program. Henceforth, it will be known as the Dave Layer Memorial Quick 32.

We should have our event date in the next week or two. Also, if you've followed the "2015 Rules" thread, you may have already seen that we will be using the new NHRA "Factory" class structures. We did our own "FX" classes in Stock last year, so we're happy to see NHRA take this step on their own in both Stock and Super Stock. We'll order more Lucas Oil Class Eliminations trophies!

It's on! Mark your calendars now for August 21-23, 2015!

Sad it's the weekend of BIR's Lucas Oil Nationals....

Maybe 2016 I can make it.

Greg Hill · 11-04-2014, 02:26 PM

That's going to be tough for those of us who are doing Bowling Green and Indy.

Lee Valentine · 11-04-2014, 02:46 PM

I'll be there !

As we discussed two years ago, there is no date that does not have conflicts, and there is no date that won't have multiple races in a row for someone. The August date is a one-time deal, due to Labor Day falling late this year and a tremendous amount of shuffling of dates on the schedule. August goes back to a four-weekend month in 2016, so we'll have to go through the scheduling process all over again. I apologize that the date cannot be perfect for everyone, however we have chosen it with having the largest number of our customers in mind. Brainerd is the only conflict. This will be a great opportunity to test for Indy under race conditions without worrying about AHFS.

As with this year, we will give you a great, super-fun race put on by racers, dedicated solely to Stock and Super Stock, with everything that you want in a race, from Class to Quick 32 to a Combo to separate $5K Eliminators for both Stock and Super Stock. We can't wait to do it all again!
