We hope to have some bigger money combos at both tracks in 2012. We are almost certain to have the $5K to win combo Saturday night at the Bowling Green open, and possibly as many as 4-5 others between the two tracks.

At Jackson, I saw David Glidewell walk the staging lanes and personally thank every class racer he was able to get to, and that was most every one in attendance. Not many tracks will guarantee a $1K purse for a $50 entry fee when 15 cars show up. David Glidewell did it all year, and he and NitroPlate did it Sunday when they paid $2K to win for a 26 car field at a $50 entry fee.

Racers, come race with us in Jackson TN and Bowling Green KY for the combo races in 2012. I guarantee you'll be treated like a treasured customer, and you'll be paid the full purse for your finishing position. Bowling Green even has a points fund, and they do pay the points winner as promised.

Fans, you need to come see these races. You will see a show, and it will be worth your time and money if you are a class racing fan.
At a time when tracks are hurting with revenue vs. payout, that is impressive he paid out 2K with only 26 cars.

I would love to run Beech Bend next year, but my Stocker is not allowed. ....what a shame.....

I can only run at the other NHRA track near me. They allow IHRA cars there.
