Watching the AHRA thing carefully.

Mark/Dave everyone....whatever will be best for us and the class: If we nail a sponsor and we do six, if we don't and maybe do two or three local nostalgia deals, or if we slip this idea into neutral untill the AHRA thing plays out, let me have it with the bark on.

The three "unsponsored" races I've looked at would be the "Mopars at the Motorplex", The Ardmore Nostalgia race, and the Fourth of July race at Denton (it draws a huge crowd). Oh yeah, Larry has purchased the track at Denton. If anyone comes up with something for the south side (Houston-San Antonio) let me know and we'll get it cranked up.

If it were me -- I'd work it, and not put it on hold just because something else is also being investigated. Hell -- if they all bear fruit, great. Gotta love options.
