Well, you're not exactly keeping the classes simple. As it was said earlier, a novice and or intermediate class in a race this big could be a problem and "throwing in a micro class" is just throwing an hour of practice/racing away for the touring cars. A race of this size needs every minute of the day. 3 or 4 classes max would be more than enough to fill up the days.
Stock
19 turn
Mod
Pro Mod (sponsored drivers only)
That's my vote for the classes. Or you can eliminate stock and just do it like the Reedy Race was done and treat pro mod like invitational.

My suggestion is:
Stock (maybe make that 23T handout)? all fair and square.
19t
Modified (10t limit)
Invitational (Factory Sponsored Drivers)
Simply and fast. Efficient and Fun! R/C magazine coverage with other R/C factory co-sponsoring because it will be a friendly get-together for racers and manufacturers to share and know one another. Fukuyama is a newcomer in the industry so inviting other manufacturers to show presence will me friendship. IMO.

The hotel parking lot race is an idea. Most of the largest races in the states have the race in the ball room, with pits in the rooms. You can save alot of money by not renting the ball room, and just using some asphalt outside.

Looks like we'll be planning for more than just that race with a pre-champ race prior to that and the final in Asia. So it'll be:
Pre-Champ.
Fukuyama Cup USA,
Fukuyama Int'l Race; Asia
Dan

i agree with mini.. if you leave out the novice guys, it might discourage them in the long run. and its always fun to watch novice drivers battle it out.
you can always give them 4 min qualifying and limit the # of entries to 10 or something.. just a thought.
remember, we were all novice drivers once... OH WAIT.. im still novice. nevermind.

I see your guys point. So have the novice class, but this stuff of Wild Willy class, Micro class, Monster truck class, gearbox class, etc... There's over a half an hour right there. That's fine for weekend club racing but a big event like this, if it's not a competieion touring car, leave it at home.
Just the way I see it.

Idea
Maybe host your first race in a parking lot location, second step it a level to an indoor or perminant track and then off to Japan!!!
Cost is a huge factor on the west coast and it may run a fortune to get a hotel like Snowbirds does every year.
Any idea on what the entry fee would be and how many entries you want to have?
I know what ever you choose Dan, it will be the best!!!!
ps..i second the vote for a sportsman class!!
PEACE..

As far as location if you can get the tamyia track that would be great but I doubt that will happen and try to keep it next to socal that way I can go and an indoor track like socal would be great but I don’t know if you would like to have it at socal
It would be great if you can supply hand out motors to keep the competition equal
What I suggest doing is finding out the races that were a big success and do the same but better
