Thoughts on a .90 Nationals
 

So I’ll put the feeler out there because I’ve been fielding many phone calls from racers over the past few days about putting together a big .90 race again since the 2020 season has been a big mess. This would be for Super Comp, Gas, Street and possibly Top Sportsman & Dragster. The location is TBD and the date well is TBD for the time being. It would not be at the same place that the Stock / SS guys are looking at to hold their event, I can tell you that much. I love Numidia like no other but, trying to get cars there is almost impossible.

Here’s what we’re looking at:

.90 Classes: $200 entry
Based on 50 Cars
W: 3,000
RU: $1,000
Semi - $500
4th - $300
3rd - $200

Top Sportsman & Dragster - $250 entry
Based on 48 Car Qualified field
W: $4,000
Ru: $1,500
Semis - $700
4th - $400
3rd - $250

Right now due to COVID restrictions we may have to cap the entry’s and do a pre-entry type deal for each class. I will have more info as things possibly progress.

And if we get some sponsorship support we’d be upping the payouts.

So have at it, let me hear your thoughts??

Thanks Keith,

We're working very hard on this and I hope to have some more info in the next few days about this, if this does happen, it will be soon, very soon for this event, so keep the ideas coming through E-Mail and on FB...I know not many people post on here but, also looking at a Top 16 or 32 Shootout race Saturday Afternoon / Evening. Also any sponsors who are interested please email me at Rekeister@aol.com, I'm not looking to make any money off this event, I just want to put something together to help racers race. We all know 2020 has been a season we want to scratch off the calendar with races being cancelled. With these events being cancelled left and right, this is hurting tracks in the operating of day to day business, so rather then tracks sitting dormant for 2-3 weeks with no racing but, the bills still coming in, we're trying to put something together for the racers and to keep the track up and running.

Now due to COVID regulations we may have to cap each class to a certain amount (Maybe 60-70 per .90 class and 50 in TD & TS) but, I'm awaiting word from the track on that, so for those of you who are familiar with big money bracket races or even the National Event procedure, once it gets approved we'd have an open registration process online and you would enter that way, once it hits the limit it would be a waiting list. If the race didn't happen or weather became a factor you'd get your money back, we wouldn't hold it for a future event. If a class didn't fill up to it's quota with entries at a certain point we'd cap that class and let the waiting list in for the other classes (You would be given enough notice for travel time). Some may say the cost is too expensive but, I put the price point exactly at what you would have spent for a National Event at this time of $320 between Race & High Roller and you don't have to run the High Roller Race, that is an option. You may also enter TD or TS if you please as long as your car passes tech, you have the proper equipment and if your running NOS, it's disconnected and bottle is taken out for .90 classes.

Re: Thoughts on a .90 Nationals
 

Rob ,the entry fee vs. payout you are proposing is a no brainer compared to the NHRA divisional and National payout.
Anyone on the forum that has won a DIV or National race in the last couple years will certainly agree.
I know I'll certainly try to find a way to attend if you go thru with it.
