General Note on Classes: Often times, we get asked about "other" classes, such as Modified or 19 turn classes. Due to items such as trophy counts, time schedules with the show itself, etc., we will have a tough time, at best, accommodating "other" classes. Not to mention, we'd hate to have someone show up to run, say only TC Open, to not have anyone else show up.
