"Live" from the Classracer Nationals

Is Jason Line there?

[HR9121]

Good morning folks it's a beautiful morning here at Numidia and since the test and tune got rained out last night everyone is getting a free hit at the track this morning.
After that there will be 2 qualifying runs and then into the first race. Just to be brutally honest the car count is not very good and for the life of me I don't understand it. There were plenty of cars here two weeks ago and I don't understand why people wouldn't double up the events. When Ken started this 3 years ago during the pandemic many people didn't have a place to race.
But it is what it is and we'll make the best of it and I'm sure that the ones who showed up will have a great experience. I haven't heard anything pertaining to the purse here yet but I don't think there's anyone here that wants to see Kenny lose money so hopefully he will do something different. More later

Just to add to your comments James.
You had a double race at Numidia than the following weekend was
the SportsNationals and now this race.
Low car counts can be because of 3 weekends in a row, gas prices &
maybe the high temperatures at Numidia for this weekend.

Good luck to all racers !!!

I feel badly about not attending but there have been several reasons for not getting out this year. First, parts availability has been terrible. I've had to wait months for pistons, valves, rings, etc. Second, my motivation has suffered because of other priorities and the current state of affairs. I know others who wanted to go but are plagued with similar issues.

I was there last year and had a ball. Ken put so much into providing a phenomenal racing experience, and it showed. Come hell or high water, I'll be there next year with hopefully two cars. I only hope that he can continue hosting this event because it is special and a really great time.

[HR9121]

Hey guys don't get me wrong I'm not bashing anyone for not attending I know everyone has their own set of circumstances and let's face it these are tough times for many with the inflation I was just a bit surprised that's all. Anyway we're going to make the best of it and go on I just hate it for Ken and Tim I know how much effort they put into this.
We e just made our first qualifying pass and the track is really good for as hot as it is my numbers were nearly identical to the test pass this morning.
The purse structure has been adjusted a little with Stock running down to 2 cars then there should be 1 SS left and this will be the semifinals. Best reaction time of the 3 cars will get the bye. It's now 6k to win and everything else stays the same. For the circumstances I think this is fair and I've not heard a complaint from anyone.

We would have been there but Penny had her Surgery yesterday. She wanted to be there !!!!

[butch8908]

Can you get some shots of the qualifying sheets when they post them? Thanks.

[Ken Miele]

New link for live stream....

[HR9121]

We miss you Bob and hope Ms Penny is doing well after the surgery.
Butch I'm not sure when they're going to have sheets but I'll find out and have some when available.
Stock just finished final qualifying run and SS is in the lanes so we'll be ready for 1st round shortly.
Side note is I finally got to meet Superfan 1 Mr Bill Seabrooks after all these years and he is taking pictures and hopefully will post some later. I've taken a few but it's moving rather quickly so maybe I can post later.

Hopefully Bill will be on the track for starting line shots. I’m pretty sure Ken would allow it.
