Maybe we can get Kyle Riley, Pat Joffrion, Bo Butner, Jason Line, Dave Connolly, Ken Miele, Michael Beard, and others that promote drag racing to somehow come together in a zoom meeting or phone calls, come up with a series for Stk/SS in different geographical areas.
50 car quota at a race, really. Only a $2,000 purse with a high entry fee. Four days to complete a single race. This is what we get with a national event, and people can't even get in due to low grade points.
I know a big $$$ races would work for Stk/SS, a lot of cars out there. We have to try again, because if we don't, we won't be racing at all.
It killed me not to be able to attend the Sportsman race because the car wasn't even close to being ready. Can't understand why racers wouldn't attend.

Kyle Riley and SFG promotions promote races that cater to bracket racers. That is ONE of the reasons that SFG is so successful. Bracket racers ACTUALLY show up to race for BIG $$. The late Alex P. Denysenko is the ONLY promoter that hosted a large scale stock/superstock race that was successful. It was a ONE and DONE in 2001. Lee Zane,Brian Van Poppel, Bo Butner, Jason Line , Dave Connolly , Michael Beard and Ken Miele all promoted large stock/superstock races that were NOT supported by the stock/superstock racers. History shows that they WILL NOT be supported in the future, it’s time to move on. One promoter that I have omitted is 25 year old Tyler Bohannon. He promoted a stock/superstock race in 2021. He had a wonderful vision, a hard working team , a CIC race, sponsor give a ways, the race was held at a beautiful track and he too, LOST MONEY. Beating his head against the wall, Tyler has another stock/superstock race scheduled this August in Madison,Illinois. Here is your big chance Ron ……it may be your last …..with warmest regards ………MJ …..
