I'm not trying to take anything away from the LTx shootout or replace it as a national event I'm just wanting to pull in a good group of LTx cars. If we're renting the track we need to pull in a mininum of 100 cars to make it worth hosting.

I'm really considering just having the LSx cars in the bracket classes to make for more entries. Leaving the classes as they are but having the fastest LSx out of the brackets go up against the winner of the Outlaw classs.
