Terry Bell is supporting us by donating $100 to win and $50 to runner up. As most of you know Terry doesn't have a business to promote, he just thinks that this is a great idea and wants to put his support behind it. Thanks Terry, these are the things that make sportsman racing what it is and why we all love it.

Just want to say thanks to Lee and Brian for putting this race together. I do not have a car at this time but hope to have one again in the near future. I am going to try and make to the race as a spectator. Keep up the good work. Should be a good race.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

We would like to thank Alex, Beth, and Tony at Moneymaker Racing. They are posting $100 to win and $50 to runner/up. Thank you so much, it is appreciated greatly. Just another great sportsman putting his support behind this event.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Should be a great event, heard lots of people who can't wait to go, Lee/Brian both deserve huge credit. I will be there with both cars, can't wait to see everybody. I believe we are about to see the evolution of drag racing, people are tired of being mistreated and we simply want to hang out with friends, make more than one pass and be rewarded for any and all accomplishments. NHRA doesn't feel we should have these benefits; therefore racers will be taking matters in to their own hands, this event is a prime example.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

No scales, No fuel check, No teardowns-------Too much faith in your fellow man.-----Hire Terry to weigh each round and tear down winner and runner up and I'll donate 250.00 towards paying him. ------- Put the new cars in FX where their supposed to be. Run same class cars heads up like it was meant to be. Don't pay for round wins just winner and runner up this gets rid of late round cheater bailers. That's how it was done in the 60's and 70's by racers with balls that started all this.

This is just another great prize that will be given away at the event. There will be gifts and prizes awarded every round for all kinds of reasons. This is going to be an outstanding event, you are going to want to be a part of it. More great announcements on the way, and remember to check in to our website www.sportsmanpromotions.net for sponsor lists and entry lists. We will be updating them this week.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

All of the Stock/Super Stock races I have ever attended didn't have fuel, scales, or heads-ups. That's prob because you would have to pay someone to weigh and someone to do fuel check. Usually, there is no heads-up races at Stock/ Super Stock races in order to hopefully increase car counts. Also, most people would not attend if there was no round money involved. Especially, anyone who would drive any distance to attend the event. Late round cheater bailers? I'm not sure what that is, but I'll take your word for it! This is going to be a great race! This is also supposed to be an informative thread to update everyone with changes to the event and event sponsors. Don't hijack it with your nonsense!

Dan, you organize your own race and make up your own rules! Let Lee and Brian handle this one. If you dont like their race, stay home!

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Whoa Whoa, Slow down. Don't beat up an old man the NHRA has already done enough of that over the past 51 years of my addiction. Thank goodness for racers like Lee and Bryan trying to put together something for class racers to attend . I raced with Bryans dad in the 70s, a real gentleman and a tough competitor and the apple didn't fall from the tree. As for support I've rounded up five or six cars that have already committed with a few more on the fence depending on finances. I haven't raced for years but I'm coming and if Cupp's daughter will give birth early he and Bagley are coming with me. We tried to put on some races a few years back with a retired tech official but couldn't pull in enough cars. When we relaxed the tech what we got was basically bracket cars with class designations on the windows. The class cars quit coming and we dropped it. We need discipline or there will be no need for motors from Bryan or Bub just something out of a crate. Along with Terry I'll put up $100 to win and $50 to runner up.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Danny,
Thank you so much for the kind words. They are really appreciated. I really do understand your point about the tech and believe me, if Lee and I had our way we would do it like that. Unfortunately, in the short time that we are trying to pull this thing together, we just want to see how much support there is for a race like this. If we ever do anymore than I could definately foresee a much more stringent tech but we think at this time, people have had enough jerking around and just want to go out, race with some friends, and enjoy themselves with the possiblity of winning some money, getting treated with respect, and are appreciated for being great people and racers, not just a money tree. Thanks again for the kind words and I look forward to seeing you again, it has been quite a few years since we had our battles in K/SA. And thank your for the sponsorship as well.
Brian

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Don't really think there's a bunch of bracket cars begging to get into a S/SS race these days anyway, and I can't see people running 100lbs light and running ERC for a Combo race that doesn't have heads-up runs or qualifying, so it's all kind of a moot point. That being said, it wouldn't bother me if they did have scales/fuel/heads-up runs.

Since IHRA cars are legal, and someone has already brought up what to do with the factory race cars, why not just use all of the IHRA classes (which have provisions for the new cars) and indexes (pre-2010 NHRA indexes)?

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Bryan, Good to hear from you and yes I miss those days. Raced with two generations of Van Poppels. This should be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to seeing some faces I haven't seen in a long time. Who knows, like you said, it has to start somewhere and in time and with enough participation it could grow into something to be proud of. -------Danny

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Michael, RCE Machine is posting money for low et for both Stock and Super Stock and that's where I'm posting my donation too. There are several local racers here that have some very nice cars built under class rules but have legal appearing big motors in them and they say they are coming ---- Everyone knows of your accomplishments as both a class and bracket racer. I think a $10,000 plus plus race would be hard for you to turn down whether class or bracket. I agree, in time I think IHRA rules could be a good idea .----Danny

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Now WHY would they do that? Dont they realize they could get hurt pulling sh#t like that !

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Terry, They will if they beat me! -------Danny

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

I plan on being there, regardless of the format. This race needs to be supported. That being said, it's more than disappointing that there's actually people out there that think it's cool if they show up with illegal motors. There's a bracket race later that night and the next day they can run.

$.02,

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

on the subject ,of guys shoeing up with fat motors, how do we know that an S>R>C> wont be imposed that day , with surprise tech? S.R.C. is spontaneous rule change you all know what that is.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

We would like to thank Coast Chassis Design of Daytona Beach, Florida for a posting of $100 to win and $50 to runner up. They are also posting a bonus of $250 if the winner goes dead on with a zero in the final round. Thanks to Tim and Pete at CCD for putting their support behind this event. It is greatly appreciated.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

How about all the racers and businesses stepping up to add more money to the already big purse. As I announce this event all the sponsors are welcome to come to the tower and introduce yourself and talk about the products and services your company provides. We'll make sure we talk at length about each and every sponsor. Michael Beard says he is coming and I'd like have him and Dave Ley to do some announcing with me. This race is going to be terrific. By the way, any of the racers that would like come visit in the tower on Fri. or Sat. during the time runs, come on up. I know many of you already and would like see you and also those I've not met before. May can't get here soon enough, tired of winter!

For all that were asking about decals, Thanks to Michael Beard and Staging light Graphics.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Hey guys never been to Numidia, but I am in Hershey can't be that far. What about us spectators would love to come, perhaps i can get some people to join me teach them the fun of class racing. Thanks for putting this on maybe this could keep me from being cheated at E-town when the schedule gets changed.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Those decals are cool. I still have mine from the first Top Stock race at Norwalk and from the US Class Nationals. I want one to add to my collection. If I cant make it to the race would it be possable for me to order one?

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Will there be shirts for the event too? Hey X-tech you have to make it now I would like to meet everybody on here so i least I know who I am arguing with.

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia

Lee, you aren't the only one looking forward to May! Skills, bring along a car load fans to support this event, make sure you come to the tower and say hi. Also, anyone that has anything they want me to know about their race operation, accomplishments etc. jot it down and make sure I get it early in the weekend. I want to share all this stuff with everyone attending event. X Tech man, be there!

Mike Bassin, lucky announcer doing this event!

Re: $10K to win Stk/SS Race at Numidia
 

Brian & Lee

Yes T-shirts would be Awesome, it would be like a National Event but with out the leakers of course.
I'm glad your getting alot of additional sponsors that came aboard for this event.
If this goes over BIG, we need to do this maybe 3 times a year, here in the North East.

I would support these types of races ANYTIME before a National Event.
Probably because i'm not a points chaser & We are the main event. No NHRA b.s.
Pay extra for a golf cart, pay extra for insurance, pay this B--CH..... excuse my french !!

Keep up the good work Brian & Lee & Hurry Up May......
