Nov 1-2, annual Lee Sherman Memorial S/SS Race, Hagerstown MD
 

Saturday and Sunday, Nov 1-2.

Saturday gates open at 10 am. Test and Tune 11am-4 pm $25 to test, all the runs you can make. 10 per crew/spectator. Best Package Shootout at approximately 3:30 pm. Five dollar entry. One run, heads-up time trial, Best Package (excluding redlights and breakouts) wins the purse.

Sunday, gates open at 10 am. Time trials (two runs) noon to 3 pm, then eliminations. $100 entry, paid to Mike Carr (gate fee for crew/spectator $10).

Race is open to all NHRA and IHRA-legal Stock and Super Stock cars. No heads-up Class runs. All cars must dial their Class Index or quicker. Twenty-four cars guarantees at least a thousand dollars to win and 500 for runner-up. Due to the typical large car counts (forty or more every year), first round is run random pairing, with a bye run pulled. With the track set-up, it can clog up the lanes and pit road trying to pair 40+ cars. Ladder for round two, based on reaction time (closest to dial-in for tie-breaker). Round money starts with $50 for second round LOSER, and doubles each round after. Example payout for a forty car field:

-Second round loser = $50
-Third round loser = $100
-quarter-finals = $200
-semi-finals = $400
-runner-up $700
-winner $1500

I personally have been doing this race since 1996. Most of the racers seem to enjoy it, as do I. A laid-back, fun, end of the year race to run for some good money one more time before the snow flies.

It was suggested to me if the interest would be there to do a race on Saturday also. Perhaps a $50 entry and pay back to maybe the 1/4 or 1/8 finals. Comments/suggestions? Or just leave it as it's been for the past many years?

It seems like there would be some interest in a Saturday race also. Anyone else? I'd like to have at least eight-ten cars, to make it worthwhile. With an eight car field, $50 to enter, 200 win, 100 R/U, 50 each semis? Is 50 too much to enter, with another 100 to enter on Sunday? Maybe twenty bucks? 80 win/40 R/U/20 semi (with an eight car field)? Just trying to get some feedback.


Also, if anyone is coming for both days, from far away, here are a list of motels.

Anyone else with interest for an additional gamblers combo race on Saturday? I have a few that are in, would like to have a few more, to make the pay-out worthwhile.
