Looks like you guys have come up with a real good race to start the season with. I like the idea of the co sanctioned races with the MMSA, and think offering tow money to help racers absorb some of the cost to getting to the race should be considered by other groups also. In the past you have been one of them rare breed that would traveled 400+ miles to a race. This tow money may help encourage more people like you to hit the road also.

I think most of us a little further east from you guys keep out travels to a race to around 100 to 150 miles. You guys probably have to travel further to race and I can see where this money might even help some of your members make it to a race.

I went to Google and checked mileage for us to get to LaMonte Mo.

Me Louisville Ky----------------460 miles
Indy racers---------------------436 miles
Cincinnati Oh.racers-----------544 miles
Columbus Oh. Racers----------612 miles
Kansas city Mo.-----------------75 miles
Peoria Il.-------------------------360 miles

I also checked mileage to Du Quoin Il. for the racers

Me Louisville Ky----------------218 miles
Indy Racers---------------------244 miles
Cincinnati Oh.------------------318 miles
Columbus Oh.------------------416 miles
La Monte Mo.-------------------287 miles
Kansas City Mo.----------------330 miles
Peoria Il.------------------------213 miles

Point being Du Quoin is a more central location to all of us. We have a month to work on it, why don't we try to make this a national class race. Heck we could also hope that some of the western racers and eastern guys could make it also.
