Combo Races
If a track were to host combo races, say $5K and/or $10K to win, what would you like to see?
It could be done as a two day combo with $5K to win on Saturday and $10K to win on Sunday, a two day combo with two $5K to win races on Saturday and a $5K to win on Sunday, or a three day combo, with $5K to win on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It may be possible to open the gates for parking at noon the day before, or possibly even earlier, for parking, test and tune, and tech. How far would you drive, and how many days would you stay, to race for $5K to $10K per day, on a good track, and be treated like valued customers by a friendly staff? We have a lot good combo races going on, and the class racers really need to support these track owners who are paying a guaranteed $1K to win purse for a paltry $50 entry fee and one day/night of your time.

Re: Combo Races
Absolutely.
Although we have a nice 1/8 mile facility that could host an event, with heads up racing, of course. NHRA classes, heads up racing, and guaranteed purses. By the way, please tell us how far you'd be willing to drive. It would be very helpful.

Re: Combo Races
Memphis is not a bad drive from Tulsa, but I don't know what tracks you guys use.

Re: Combo Races
Memphis is not open. Yet.
We ran at Jackson last night. They want to run a combo every month. We run at Bowling Green regularly. Some one day races, some two race weekends. We may use other tracks.

Re: Combo Races
Yes, Danny. It's what 99% of the racers who have been participating requested.
