Probably would be better to run an IHRA format. No one gets hurt that way. If you use an Nhra format the crate motor cars are screwed.
As far as location goes If you want a high car count locate it in Division 1 or 3 (NHRA)
If you centralize it the distance for a lot of the cars would be a problem. I know it's not fair How about an east coast and a west coast race. (2 races)?

Tire rule comes to mind...I personally don't have an objection given my plan to move over to Super Stock, just pointing out that if Michael hasn't already thought it out (however unlikely that is) that he would probably appreciate a PM with inputs rather than getting into a p***ing contest on the forum.

There has been conversation on this recently between the South Dakota and Minn/St Paul guys and Earlville was the location discussed. It was also talked about Joliet but knowing how well recieved racers are at Earlville plus the ability to comfortably host 600 racers, felt this would a better fit.

The track manager at Joliet is Randy Simpson, who is a stock racer, and an all around good guy. I think you will find Randy very cordial to Stock racers.

I'm on board with ya Michael. I'll have a car in both categories provided there is enough interest to run S/SS separately.

What date are you kicking around?

Wink Re: Class Nationals event planning

The original US Classnationals was truly a historic event for those that follow our sport, and a blast for all of us who were there, both racers and spectators. We all left there hoping for a second edition, but it didn't happen. Hopefully this project will come to a fabulous finish. I know there were some headaches along the way for Alex and his team, but in the end, it was a well run event, and the track people got it in on time each day. I would hope the same format could be followed if possible, but with the demise of Top Stock, I'm sure there will need to be some changes made.
Some pros I remember: NHRA & IHRA cars coming together.
All Stick cars opened the qualifying.
The Quick 32s on Sat. afternoon.
The Outlaw SS cars( I'd never seen those before)
Some cons I remember: The terrible heat and humidity.
Scheduled same dates as a national event,
although the car count was still tremendous.
I truly hope this can be pulled off,, I've never been to Earlville before, but I've seen photos that show it could handle an event like this, and its somewhat centrally located, which could help some racers decide to participate, instead of passing due to travel costs.
My 2 cents,, good luck with your efforts.

It would be a great race, count us in! If possible have it on a weekend between two other race weekends, of close proximity, so racers could make the race coming or going.

Its has to have Class, I'm not fast enough to win but man do I love heads-up.
