     It sounds like a good Idea.  I just question how much participation 
     you would receive.  
     
     If you wanted one, two or more special exhibition sessions for the SS 
     guys, it could be arranged$$$.  I would need to deal with a 
     representative of your team and come up with a price per session.  
     This would not be a per car price.  The SS team would buy the entire 
     session(s).  Anyone interested????  
     
     We could have your session right before the exhibition race when all 
     the fans are present.  Your passing would be limited to Group "C" 
     rules.
     
     Now lets run the numbers.  If your team wanted to buy one session on 
     the small track it would cost you around $500.  If you wanted a 
     session on the large track $750.  Of course divided by the 20 SS 
     drivers, that would be $25 and $38 per car respectively.  These are 
     round numbers and would have to be cleared with the committee.  Are 
     you still interested in buying sessions at $500 to $750 each for your 
     team?
     
     If you wanted your own special class at the event, I would need at 
     least 8 definite participants from the SS team.  That would be the 
     minimum required for me even to consider the class.  Some where around 
     15 would insure a SS class.

Why not have a "Silver State Only" class?
     
1.  All the guys would be out there for the same reason-to test the 
cars.
2.  It would promote the SSCC to other members 
3.  The SSCC guys would receive some much-deserved recognition 
4.  The event would be unique from other clubs who don't provide 
"their" racers with some club-sanctioned track time to prep
5.  This would create some personal "onwership" among club members and 
develop support for racing activities
6.  This would foster team spirit among participants
7.  SSCC sponsors would receive additional visibility with logos on 
the SSCC cars
8.  More SSCC guys would be encouraged to attend the event so they can 
test their Panteras
     
Just a PR thinking.
