Re: S/SS combo @ BIR 2011
Glen,
Yes, I was invited but could not make it due to work obligations---which BIR mgt was told by me might happen.
Kristi did have my 'bitch' list in a 1/12/11 email, which you are now aware of as well...funny it wasn't discussed. Must have been an oversight. I have talked with her several times on facebook about everything.
Not sure how a 1 day event is going to attract many long distance racer's. This is why, in my opinion it needs to be a 2-day event! What's so hard about that. Sportsman ladder day 1, Pro day 2 (if no Q run). I know you say they can run the bracket race on Sunday, but why bracket race a Class car? I'm the minority here, as I have a different bracket car I can run.
As for advertising, I'm not talking about a 'class' sponsor. I'm talking about a 'track' sponsor that can add to EVERYONE's payout. BIR is a 1st Class track!!! But.....they have to win a lot of customer's back.
As for payout, why is it #33 cars to get $1200 to Win? You should be able to pay $1k minimum with about #24 cars (if the entry fee is $100)...I have a Bracket Racing Excel format I have from Tony Leonard that figures this out.
Heck, if it's only a 1-day event let's pay $150 to enter and race for some good $$$!
I run my bracket car in 2 classes @ $80 per, plus run the $50 gamblers. I'd save money and just bring my Class car.
If all else fails, there is a track to the west that is very interested in Class racing.
