.90 class Calcutta (Good or Not)

[sc1153]

I was thinking today, How likely are you to kick in an extra $20.00 per race if $19.00 of the money went back to the racers? ($1/car for someone to have the aggravation) I am debating on going through the lanes and collecting $20.00/car to have a side pot for the racers to receive back. I would think on a 100 car count (s/g & s/c) $20/car would total $1900.00 to go back in the hands of the racer, and if we paid back.

Winner 30% ($570.00 + $1500 NHRA money = $2070.00) + Contingency
Runner Up 30% ($570.00 + $600.00 NHRA money = $970.00) + Contingency
Semi-finals 40% ($380.00/semi finalist + $200.00 NHRA money = $580.00)
Or some pre-agreed on payment system (we can vote on that too)

Now if the Winner and Runner up DID NOT PUT UP $ we would have to go back to the people who had gone the furthest in eliminations and SPLIT IT UP EVENLY. (semis, quarters, whatever)


???? WOULD YOU PUT UP THE MONEY ????

Your already there what the hell is another $20. But then you didn't say anything about S/ST.........
There always seems to be a bunch that run in the shoot out !

[Bryan Gillespie]

sounds like a plan. (good)

[sc1153]

I could do sst too. The reason I used s/c & sg is the car count is always over 100. I did not mean to count out sst just pay out scale would be less because less car count

Tom Goldman and Kathy P. used to do this a couple of years ago for the S/G guys and it used to be very productive. It's always nice to get some cash back when you win.

Division 3 has had the shootouts for years....and its a good thing....run the night before.....

well I guess the writing is on the wall 725 views to this poll and 21 people took the time to respond to the poll. I will try to do this deal at one of the races early on and see if I get response at the track. If it doesnt fly then I wont do it again, If it works then I will do it again until the attraction dies off.

Wish D1 did this 2 years ago at the gate

Chris, I voted , so now I can add my .02...

One small thing to consider...at our NESSA races (at LVD for S/ST), we have a drivers meeting before each race and pay entries, etc, and anyone that wants pays into a bounty..

Similar to that, I know more than once Kathy caught me in the staging lanes with no cash on me, and probably more than once I forgot to go pay...

So maybe at the D1 races, have an announcement made over the PA or something to help us old farts remember to shell out the dough...

Unless you want to go trailer to trailer, and then you might have to stop for a beer, and then who knows !

I was going to go into the lanes and collect money, that is the simplist way. I will also have section on the sheet to notate if you paid or not. So if you sign up you must put up but not at that second.

P.S. is anyone interested in a S/G driver in 2010 seems that I will not have a ride this season as Lou Nislar (corvette roadster I was driving) has decided to "get out of the racing buisness"
