thank you mike beard
 

cannot say enough about the time effort and MONEY this guy put up for us ... only to get a poor response from all the racers who continually bash NHRA and thier payouts.

i heard it was a bad weekend, and all the crap... but in reality if you wanted to race for decent paybacks from the race you coulda shoulda made it happen.

if mike is dumb enough to believe all the keyboard bull and try to have another one i would be suprised... he runs a good race and does not need to have a race like this...
it was US WHO NEEDED HIM !

thanks again mike !

I would like to thank Michael and his business partner as well.

That took alot of work to pull off an event that size.

I had a lot of fun and got to run my first Class Elimination race ever as well as my first C.I.C. race.

Met some more fellow class racers from this board and enjoyed listening to the seasoned veterans of this sport talk class racing. :cool:

Hope there is another Class Nationals next year.

I drove the 500 plus miles just to spectate. If I had a car ready I would have raced it. Where else can you run your car flat out and not get hit with HP? The track prep was superb. I saw only a few cars have traction problems and they were blown cars on 9" tires.
You couldn't ask for better weather. You guys that are going to Indy and didn't hit this race as a tune up must be a quart short. Your lack of participation has probably doomed this race for in the future and that is a shame.

Low turn out?

Re: thank you mike beard
 

Michael thanks for putting on a great Race for class racers. The event was well run with great weather. We appreciate your efforts to bring us an event that was fun and just for our class of cars. You deserve a ton of support and praise for hosting this event. We need more racers to support Michaels events and make this a race on our schedule we never miss. We had lot's of chances to make runs and win money with his formats. Everyone was treated like a winner this weekend ! Kudos

Ed, if I heard correct around 150 cars total.

Re: thank you mike beard
 

I would like to thank everyone involved. It was a great week end. Did not do any good racing but wasn't cars fault. Enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones even if one was Billy Nees. ( Just kidding Billy ) It is a shame they did not have a good turn out
because it was a well run event.

Re: thank you mike beard
 

Agreed. What a very well run race, and what a great time we all had.
Boy did alot of folks miss out on a great race....
