I can definitely appreciate the new class. Once we get through the Supra event, I will be attending as many as I can as long as the engine holds up through the supra event.

Don't sweat it Jason, at least you will always have bigger fields to race with and more potential money to win.

It is a cool thing to waive the race fee to anyone running heads up if they travel over 200 miles

Thats almost my case for going to just about any race it seems!!!

Cliff would you allow someone to run in say the Street class and the outlaw class? Only asking because I know you've let people run the 4G class and street class.

It has been a while since I have been to an IFO event but I must say you guys have grown steadily. It just goes to show that you can't kill this industry, there will always be someone waving that flag. Hats off to you guys!

So now when do we start competeing for points!
