Thanks Michael, everything was great and all involved in putting on
"The Class Nationals" deserve a big thank you too.

Thanks to Michael, Anthony, Nitro and the whole Class Nationals Staff!

What an event!
Was well worth the effort!
Met some really fine people and got to see many great division 3 cars that don't come east.

We had the opportunity to race every day of the event for what entry to a national event would cost to sit around for days for one eliminator and maybe run class.
It's a shame due to lack of participation this event is done.

Michael and Anthony have a bright future in promoting. They understand "who is the customer" and how they should be treated.
This event was fun!

Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Watched the Brainerd event on ESPN3, turned it on just in time for the track prep for the finals, got to watch Stock & SS. I noticed the stands were rather sparse, the wind was blowing hard and everyone was wearing jackets.

Seems to me that a class racer would prefer the Class Nats over Brainerd, other than the individuals that are close to MN. I wonder what the spectator count was.

But, it is the same old story. Bitch, bitch, bitch, complain, complain, complain. When someone tries to benefit the racer by putting on a perfect class race, here comes the whiners and bashers.

I am currently parked to get things in order, but if I were able, I would have been to Michaels race in a heartbeat. It is better than most national events NHRA has. I guess that chasing those elusive points and huge payouts are more lucrative.

Oh, I forgot about those who protect their combos so dear to their heart. Playing the NHRA AHFS 1,000 ft game. Too bad you didn't go to OH.

Wasn't there, but thank you Michael and Nitro Joe and all the people that put their heart into making the race an opportunity for class racing.

I was very impressed with how professional the event was ran.
Made me feel good for handing over the entry fee money at the gate.

When I was at tech, Michael threw me for a curve when he did something that other event promoters have never done to me....he thanked me for coming !

Cool.
Nice touch Michael !

I hope this is not the last Class Nationals, but if it is, I will always be grateful I had the opportunity to attend.
