Ken,

Congrats on a great event, I hope the racers realize the hard work and dedication you & your team put into these events. I can say my thoughts are exactly the way I felt years back after 2 attempts at a .90 Nationals at Numidia and one year with Lee & Brian and one year trying it on my own for Stock & SS big event there. You just can't figure out what to do, you guarantee payouts, give them specialty events, have a cool trophy, checks, etc and the most important part is treat them like they are a customer and wanted at your race. I was saying after seeing the numbers at the D1 race and knowing you were the week after, I said Ken's going to knock this out of the park this year. Just keep pushing and trying to make it better and better each year is all you can do and I know .90 cars are not the show but, I'm sure if you ever wanted to team up, just let me know.

It was a great race and a great time. Outstanding job by Ken, the staff, and all the sponsors.

My only complaint is that for two days now, I've not been able to get Sinatra and Elvis tunes out of my head!

Can't wait until next year's Class Nationals.

[Mike Pearson]

Sounds like this was an awesome event. This has been a big year for class racing outside of the NHRA. 3 huge events put on by private promoters and all for big money. SGMP. The Tyler Bohannon race and now the Class Racer National. All got excellent reviews from those that attended. I was able to go to the big one at SGMP. That was within a reasonable travel distance for me. It was very well run and a great time. All of these races seemed to be successful and we all have to hope that there might be more to come next year. I know I will do my best to support these type of events when possible.

Thanks to Ken and his staff for putting on this event.

Hey guys, I have some more cool photos from Diane Kubicke. Diane has photos of all the competitors, contact her if you want hi res photos of your car.

You guys are too kind, thanks so much for the kind words. I could not do this race without the racers support, I'm sure I forgot to thank many of you, but believe me I know all of you that raced, and I appreciate it more than you know, you guys are the Class Racers!

As I'm thanking everyone, and can't believe I forgot my staff. Thanks guys your are the best, what a professional crew we have. Here is our Staff...

WOW! Anyone who missed this race missed a lot, 2 days of great racing, no snow mobiles only Stock & Super Stock! The Top Stock show was incredible to watch, talk about fast cars. Congratulations Barry (Crazy Cow) Parker. 9.92 131.51

This was my second year at this event and is on my schedule next year even if I miss a Divisional race. When I entered Friday to prep everyone was welcoming, I thought I died and went to the land of Oz....

Any questions I had, Answered! Any idea's for next, Welcomed! This was a class act from the go......

I want to thank Class Racer Forum (Ken Miele), MicroStrategy Tech Solutions, ATI, Gold RUSH Trailers, Weldon, IRC, Oakes Landscaping, Biondo, Dan Fletcher Trailer Sales, Motorsports Innovations and DRC Racing for supporting sportsman racing.

In addition the staff who worked were the best. Dan, Tim, Deanna and Taylor Fletcher, Kaylin Guenther, Russ Wernes, Bill Holmes, Dave Ley and the Numidia staff I say thank you for a great show.

I was a disappointed in the turn out because all I read is there is no races for sportsman, we get treated like poorly, there is no money to win, we only get 1 run, blah blah blah you missed a great race.

Finally, As some of you know a great sportsman racer and my friend Larry Guest recently passed. Larry has been around racing a long time and I leave you with our favorite quote: "The Future is now!"
