I was asked earlier by the former Flatheaders of Denver to announce this race to the H.A.M.B., but I hadn't done so. I told them that I thought the best place to do so would be the HA/GR section. That's pretty much what I suggested to Ron Miller also. I did mention HA/GRs and suggested that if any were interested, they would probably want to run as a separate heads up class rather than bracket cars. Here is the reply I got on that:
"I will allow them in any way they wish to run, unless so many showed as to overrun the event LOL
Thanks for doing that ,
Ron"
So, there you go. If anyone is interested, I'm sure you would be welcome.
