I rarely post on this site, but this event was more than awesome. I was glued to the computer screen for 2 days. I'm thrilled that sportsman racers were showcased in a premiere event. And kudos to the telecaster!

This was a who's who of class racing. Every round had marquis match-ups with big name hitters from every NHRA division. The internet coverage was great, as was the announcing. The racing was ultra tight. This race set the bar high for other sportsman events. Well done!

I got to watch some of the event and it looked pretty cool. Getting to race for some bigger doe like the bracket races.

Like more cow bell (SNL reference for you young'ins), we need more Randi Lynn announcing. Nice candor and some inside baseball info. I could see her doing national events and helping explain class racing to the spectators.

Congrats to all the crew that worked so hard to put this race together. You pulled it off !!!! Thanks to all of the personal at the track that helped keep this race going long after my bedtime. Some of the best Stock/ Super Stock racing I have ever seen. BP

33,000 views Friday and 33,000 views Saturday on Motor Mania. This event will be hard to surpass. Had an absolute ball. Other than the wind, there was really nothing to bitch about....nothin. Facility, track prep, payout, organization, appreciation, originality, and talent level down there was through the roof ..... Thanks to all...

I have to agree with Jeff. This was a first class deal. Every racer there was high caliber. You had to be on the bulb and the dial to even think about going rounds. SGMP was a great venue for this type of event. Sure hope there is another next year. If you weren’t there you missed being part of class racing history. Big thanks to Bo, Jason and Dave. Also the rest of the crew and workers that made this possible.
It was good to meet you Jeff. Congrats on the #1 qualifying position.
