I see the new date for Indy...and it is the same weekend as the Loveland, CO event. Are they set-up to handle two events simultaneously or are we going to see a 'watered-down' event?

Rich, Goodguys can do two events on the same weekend with no issues. We have done it before and it works out great. The new Indy event is at the FairGrounds so this should be a great time and a cool place to go and have fun with cars.

Goodguy Ed

[lzdick]

Good to hear, Ed.
I'm curious: Does the Fairgrounds give you additional space for the autocross? Hopefully an improvement over what was offered at the Speedway. Many of us would like to see the 'big peanut', similar to what was offered in DesMoines prior to 2013. 2013 was a disaster of a course by comparison, IMO.

You should make a rule exclusion on the 72 and older rule for street machine..as some models has same body style throughout their production span, just different bumpers
like 70-81 camaro/trans am
68-82 corvette
69.5-77 Maverick/71?-77comet
dart/demon/duster 70-76

that way owner doesn't have to do a bumper/grille or valance swap and better matched vs running against 90s and 2000 maros and vettes in the late model class

The events that are "All American" already allow any year car for the entire weekend. Fwiw the old cars usually spank the new cars anyways at the Goodguys events anyways.
