OK, this is good stuff.

Jeff, we have heads up racing and that's exactly what we need to preserve. It takes dollars and sense. They've dropped a bunch of Class races from the schedule over the years because of the lack of interest from the Manufactures, contingency payers and US, the racers as a group.

Eric, you are right on. Can't say anything but expect that to change as we know it mid 2011.

Bob Don, that's the goal of the new system that will 'Morph' into something bigger as time goes by. As suggested earlier, record runs need a good look from Technical as you would need to bust into a healthy HP hit to do as it is.

Jok, what you said is great too. Talked to Charlie again today and he likes a lot of our ideas. This situation requires a new beginning of Class elimination payouts as we know it. Basically, starting from scratch with a whole new, late model version. Small companies should look forward to a new program for them.

Ntiroe Joe, I'd prefer you to be a part of the solution and not the problem. This thread is for saving Class Eliminations cause we need the sponsors backing for that to happen. You may have the subject confused and I understand why.

As a side note, if we can get the support back into Class Elims. then it's only a matter of time before we see it come back to the main Elim. as well, it's a new crawl then walk situation!!! We've gotta start somewhere and it'll take some time however, it's taken years already to get as deprived as it is now.

Lots of discussion about the costs to Sponsors that post Contingency payments, it boils down to the cost of doing business. I dare anybody to take on the program for free, seriously, it costs money to run this kinda stuff. Have ya looked at the administration costs of all the good-will/ salvation army et. all BUSINESSES out there, it's a staggering part of the donations they receive from well mannered contributors. Unless you know the amount that it takes every year then I fail to see how anybody can say it's unjust. Get some numbers and then we can communicate with a smart solution.

Peace out and thanks for the ideas, they are being heard !!!!!!!!!
