.90 class Calcutta (Good or Not)
 

I was thinking today, How likely are you to kick in an extra $20.00 per race if $19.00 of the money went back to the racers? ($1/car for someone to have the aggravation) I am debating on going through the lanes and collecting $20.00/car to have a side pot for the racers to receive back. I would think on a 100 car count (s/g & s/c) $20/car would total $1900.00 to go back in the hands of the racer, and if we paid back.

Winner 30% ($570.00 + $1500 NHRA money = $2070.00) + Contingency
Runner Up 30% ($570.00 + $600.00 NHRA money = $970.00) + Contingency
Semi-finals 40% ($380.00/semi finalist + $200.00 NHRA money = $580.00)
Or some pre-agreed on payment system (we can vote on that too)

Now if the Winner and Runner up DID NOT PUT UP $ we would have to go back to the people who had gone the furthest in eliminations and SPLIT IT UP EVENLY. (semis, quarters, whatever)


???? WOULD YOU PUT UP THE MONEY ????

Your already there what the hell is another $20. But then you didn't say anything about S/ST.........
There always seems to be a bunch that run in the shoot out !

Re: .90 class Calcutta (Good or Not)
 

sounds like a plan. (good)

Re: .90 class Calcutta (Good or Not)
 

I could do sst too. The reason I used s/c & sg is the car count is always over 100. I did not mean to count out sst just pay out scale would be less because less car count

Tom Goldman and Kathy P. used to do this a couple of years ago for the S/G guys and it used to be very productive. It's always nice to get some cash back when you win.

Division 3 has had the shootouts for years....and its a good thing....run the night before.....

Re: .90 class Calcutta (Good or Not)
 

We used to have it ... then d1 said they do not want to deal with another race .... this is just an attempt to supplement the payout that we receive. Was thinking of maybe kicking back even more percentage to semis... they are the ones who really get hammered. No contingency $

Yeah we used to have the Top 8 shootout at Cecil and Maple Grove every year for the .90 classes and it was quite fun. I was asked by a few racers a couple years ago to put one together at the Atco D-1 race but when I asked the higher above officials I was told 2 things. First was they were running behind in the schedule and wouldn't have time for something like that (We were done at 6pm that night) and 2nd was there was supposedly a bad crash at one of those races and thats why they did away with it. I don't know but we put together a Super Gas High Roller race at the Atco MASGA this years race and it was ALOT of fun. Had 14 drivers for 8 spots and some good extra cash for the racers.

Sometimes there is only 1 car in the semi's. Quarter-finalist should get a piece of the pie also. They don't even get back their entry. A smaller % to the winner and runner up because they get contingency. More racers getting something back might mean more racers participating.

Example:
Based on a 64 car field with 50 paying $20 each = $1000.00
Winner - 20% $200.00
R/UP - 15% $150.00
Semi - 25% $125.00 each x 2
1/4's - 40% $100.00 each x 4
