I know this is a long shot, but how about a heads up class for the trucks? Only rules......99+ full size, stock body panels and ls motor.

I could think of several guys, including myself that would get in on something like that. If I could promise at least xx entries, would that help?

Find a sponsor and a list of racers that would attend.
There has to be a sponsor for them to take notice

Thanks for the reply, and I'll see what I can get going.

What kind of money are we talking about to "get their attention"?

I would be willing to bet at least 6-7 trucks would come from Texas. The rest of them wouldn't have a chance. lol

I don't think a truck class is in the cards this year. We tried it a few years ago and the turnout was really low.

Maybe the way to get this to happen is to show up as a group to show support (and also get a sponsor for next year).

I would like to see the vendors that are there actually have parts with them there for sale. I came up from Bama last year with a couple of grand in my pocket to spend on my build. However ( Very Few ) of the vendors actually had parts with them. Yes they were more than glad to take my money and ship.

A little off topic, but are there select hotels where everyone is going to be staying; kind of like sponsor hotels, or is it just kind of a crap shoot on where everyone is staying?

How did that call go? Any success on getting a dedicated line for the pre-registered?

Also,
I like the idea of grudge racing and the BBQ.

See y'all there.

Pete we've talked about having 2 lines quite a bit this year, 1 for pre-registered folks, and 1 for everyone. Plan is to have 2 lines, this is I would say the #1 issue of the event last year.

Well for one, you can get into the track Thursday from noon to 6 or 7 whatever I posted in an earlier thread.

As for getting in, I'll remind the team on that right now.
