A Saturday night 305 class would be a great addition to Bloomington Friday night schedule.

305's are fine if they don't start to dilute the 410 class.

We have been discussing a lot of options and possible events. I'm curious to know how many 305 cars are out there and who would be interested in running some shows at Route 45 Raceway? Let's hear your thoughts!

The last race of the year looked liked a 410 non wing class would have been the way to go.

Avg nonwing car count for 2014 was 6.1 per night. It is financially impossible to justify the class with those numbers. The final race was a bigger pursed show which we plan on having approx 6-8 of in 2015. Having a "weekly" class cannot be based on car counts of bigger shows.
