Re: I have a dream.............
I am pretty sure the first year Michael did the race there was a real good turn out. The second year There was scheduling issues and there were other events that seemed to take some of the car count away. It’s too bad that it did not work out and the promoters could make a few bucks or at least break even the first few years. Any new event will have to build a following and some history. Thanks to Michael for attempting.

Re: I have a dream.............
My son Jon Irving ( BoulderCitytrailers.com) is sponsoring a Stock/SS Combo at LVMS on the weekend of March 22. This is in conjunction with
Muscle Cars at the Strip and the stands are usually pretty full because we are the Stars for a change. 100 % payback plus a decent purse and contigency as well we hope. If he gets at least 16 cars he will do it regularly. His phone is (702) 563 -9144 Before 8 PM If you give him a chance to give you a quote on your next trailer it would help him to do this regularly.

Re: I have a dream.............
If it was me I would stay away from "association"
I would just promote indavidual races at differenat race tracks across the counrty. Put together a list of classes and the class rules and see who shows up. Think something like a big buck bracket race but with classes. As soon as you make it an association with champions and crap people will start getting stuiped. |

Re: I have a dream.............
It bears repeating, if NMCA really wanted to attract class racers they might consider not throwing dates on top of traditional dates/events of some very popular NHRA races. Certainly respect all those who choose NMCA over NHRA; think Dennis, Doug etc. have a great idea running both NSS and Class but with only one car and a set number of races I can only focus on the D2 schedule plus possibly BG and Indy.
