Dave Duell Classic Update"
I had a phone meeting with the NMCA this morning to complete our game plan for the "Dave Duell Classic" in Bowling Green this August 2-5, 2012.
As many of you know this is the top NSS event of the year. This is the 7th year of the "Dave Duell Classic" and we have worked hard to insure that the NSS racer has the best racing experience possible. So here is what is on tap for this year.
The format: Thursday you can arrive. We will have our own parking area on the grass. When you enter the gate NMCA personel will direct you to the NSS parking area and we will park you. You can register on Thursday. You do not have to be a NMCA member to race NSS at this event. You will able to get your car teched on Thursday. If you cant make it Thursday parking on Friday is no problem. Friday you will get 2 qualifying passes. Saturday morning you will make you 3rd qualifying pass. Around noon we will have first round of class runoffs. This first round of class will also be your 4th qualifying pass. Class runoffs and the FX shootout will continue throughout the afternoon till we have winners in all classes. About 7:30 we will have our NSS dinner. BBQ, beer and soft drinks will be served to all NSS racers, crew, family, sponsors and friends. Door prizes will be given away at the dinner. Sunday morning will be first round of eliminations. Eliminations will continue till we have a winner.
