Question Regarding J's

[David Weaver]

With regards to the National Championship for J classes, can any category (or race for that matter) bid to host the J nationals?

Yes, I believe so.

While the answer is yes, it makes sence to run it with the Stocks/Mods since they are more likely then not to be the children of the Stock/Mod Drivers.

Come again?

[PopPop]

Come again?

Sorry about my misspelling sence>>>>I meant "sense" and my omission,
"Stock/Mod Nationals. " I was just stated my opinion. I believe the answer is still yes, since J is not a Stock class. You'll have to check with the J commission for a more definite answer.

[David Weaver]

Thanks PopPop. Mainly I am curious. We get a good turnout of K PRO's at DePue, many from all over the country. I wonder if the draw would be as good for J's? Sure are a lot of them in Region 6 and Region 7.

My guess is probably not, especially next year. The stock Nationals (and mod?) will be in Washington, and they again will be pretty close to the time of DePue. And like PopPop said, most of the J drivers are kids of the Stock and Mod guys, and those kids may be out of luck if their Dads are set to going to Washington for the Nationals. And there are J Drivers from EVERYWHERE as I saw this past week! I saw letters I don't think I have seen before in racing!

And also, I know the J catagory also includes the AXS classes, and many of those drivers also run ASH and other stock classes. You may get a few to come, but not many.

But to answer your question, Mr. Weaver, you may not get the turnouts you would wish for. It is a good idea, though.

Stock

I believe Mod has tried a couple times to put the J Class on as a Nationals along with the Mod Nat's, and the bid was not accepted or not approved. I think the stock category will usually host them wherever they are. I think it may be due to what some others said, AXSH, ASH, and what not. It is primairaly a stock class at any rate, so I guess it makes sense.
