LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

Just a note, the stats from this event will be in the Nitro Joe's Drag Racing Stats book under its own place in there. I'm trying to work on sending the stuff to printers after this coming weekend (5/25/14) AND all subscribers if I have your right e-mail addresses will get a pdf file of the stats also.

Michael, a Big Thank You to you and your team! I didn't have my El Camino ready but it was great meeting a lot of guys from ClassRacer, and hanging out with Billy Nees and Mark Yacavone.
My wife is not enamored of the whole drag racing thing, but I bought her one of your blue shirts when I bought my blue and gray. Thankfully she really likes it and has worn it a lot. This morning was the first time we both wore them - sorry, there was no on around to take a picture.

[Ian Hill]

I just wanted to add in that we had a great time throughout the weekend, thank you for the racer bbq. I got to see many cars that prior to that weekend i would have only experienced in magazines or on line.

i was surprised/ impressed how many stick cars there were. I have not read this whole post, has anyone asked yet....what was the car count - auto vs. stick?


Job well done guys!

Ian

At least 43 stick cars... They put on a great show! I'm still thinking about an all-stick Combo for next year, just because I want to watch it! I think Junior Stock was a really great show with some close racing, and the sponsors enjoyed it too. I had been hinting around at some heads-up Factory Pro Stock and Factory Stock shootouts, but I need to hear from the people with those cars, as there was a shockingly low turnout of COPO, Cobra Jet, and DragPak cars.

I think it's worth noting the great job Redman did heading up the starting line team. He was able to identify how the track was reacting to what they and the cars were doing, and made the call on the fly to change up the run order for Class Eliminations. Every track, set of weather conditions and the type of cars running is a big set of variables for track prep, and Redman's experience shined through.

On a somewhat related note, when we were doing some pre-settleup stuff with the track, they told us the track prep costs came in way over the estimate... We used like 4-4.5 drums of VHT! I said, nope, that's ok! I kinda of expected that. I told Redman over a year ago, "Whatever you need, don't ask. Just do it! You can *tell* me what you're doing, or send me a bill, but you don't have to ask! Starting line is priority #1, and you're in charge."

We've already had several sponsors approach *us* to say they're all in again for next year.

Great news that you are planning another Class Nationals for next year; I will definitely be there again!
