Special thanks to Barry Parker and the rest of the individuals that have put a lot of effort into coordination of the LeBrun/Peters memorial race. It has been no small feat to pull together a race with that payout.
The ASRA Board of Directors also wanted to clearly post the ASRA portion of the payout which
IS IN ADDITION TO the memorial race payout that Barry posted above.
The attached image contains the breakdown of the track payout (which all participants are eligible for) and the ASRA portion (which only members are eligible for). The ASRA title sponsor also provides an additional $400 to the winner and $200 to the runner up if you are an ASRA member and have a Banks Chevrolet sticker on the car.
As already mentioned, ASRA has been fortunate enough to have the support of the folks at Lebanon Valley (Howard Commander and Wayne Delmonte) who provide a 55 gallon drum of C12 to the racer that accumulates the most points across the two days of racing. This program has been going on for multiple years now and any racer is eligible as you don't have to be an ASRA member to win the fuel. Its definitely a nice bonus to the double header weekend.
These are the purses for both the Saturday and Sunday races and both days are guaranteed payouts. If you are on the fence about joining ASRA, here are some other benefits to being a member:
- Eligible for 5 special programs that pay $50 at each race (#1 Qualifier, Taking Out #1 Qualifier, Bounty Hunter, Best Losing Package, Dead on the Dial)
- A chance at the coveted Shoot-Out for the top 16 points earners after 5 races. This race has no entry fee for qualifiers and has a total payout in excess of $2,000 with the winner getting at least $1,000.
- Top ten points' purse that has exceeded $4,000 each of the last 5 years with the season champion collecting at least $1,000
- A year end banquet with cocktail hour and formal dining to which the top 10 points earners get a free ticket
Additional details can be found on our website at
www.asra-ne.com or a board of director or existing member could help answer any questions.
Hope to see a big turnout at this race as its truly a great thing to honor two legends of Stock Eliminator racing.
*Note of Clarification: The double header ASRA race at New England Dragway is the weekend of July 27th and 28th which is not the weekend before the LODRS at Epping. In the past we have always tried to put our double headers back to back with the divisionals but the LODRS in New Hampshire is September 6-8 and there are racing conflicts both the week before and the week after that did not permit that from happening this year.
