Just a few Teams from the past who might be interested in attending. This also might be a good oportunity to give these teams the bug to come back. Here are a few. I know some of these guys dropped out due to no invite to GNC and never heard about the ASN til after the series started.

Aron Staphen
Jack Bettio
Archie Varon
Mike Limbaugh
Derek West in the old Crush (would love a chance at a rematch, his spotter still hasn't stopped smack talking)

Just a few ideas. These are are some ex strong competitors who might be interested in an invite. Anyone have any ideas?

Shouldn't Derek have an invite as last years Champ?

Man Kurt, spelling is not your strong suit

Here is who I can think of that used to compete with us the last 4 years:

Aaron Stapen
Mike Linebaugh
Jack Bettio
Bill Bailey
Eric Miller
Jake Tennis
Rob Kosinsky
Archie Varone
David from KY Crawlers

WildCards are for a big media hit or for a sponsor placement or for a mistake we may have had on our part, or for someone who was injured and prolly WOULD have qualified but couldn't...those kinds of things. We'll look at some of the suggestions but we won't be just throwing them out, otherwise the wildcards turn into political issues, and not things that benefit the sport.

That last thing we need is political fighting going on over a qualification. We MUST justify something as important as a qualficiation on an event so many have so worked hard for.

Thanks for throwing my name out Kurt.

Even if the Rich's decided to offer me an invite I still would not be able to attend. I planned a family event on that weekend that I can not miss. It looks like it will be an exciting weekend. If I can get some sponsorship this off season I will be back in the mix.

Good luck to all the competitors,
Aaron

Depending how the RROCK final event plays out there may be a couple drivers near the top that won't get an invite that are sponsored by Cooper and some who have been for a few years.

ya know what would be cool, if each series got one wildcard spot for a "people's choice" award. After its known who qualifies then the spectators get go choose from those that remain which one goes. Just throwing it out there as an idea for next year. After all the more competitors the better.
