2024 class schedule is out. indy is only nat. event this year with class; traditional 128 car fields in S/SS ..... all other class elims will be hosted at div. events.
this mite not seem like that big a deal to some, but it wasn't too long ago that class was contested at multiple nat. events, with 100+ car fields. now standard S/SS quotas
are 50-60 cars per event. those that show up at nat. events have the grade pts., and enter the small quota nat. events so early, that many local racers don't have time to
get out to divisional or opens to get points, and end up not even being able to compete in Stk or SS at their nearest nat. event. been that way for a while now.
...... so it's good and bad. bad that class has essentially gone away from nat. events. good that having class at div. races without quotas draw a lot of cars, and winning
a small wally is still really a big deal, sportsman racers just don't win them on the big stage anymore.
