How much does the Purse have to be to get you to race?

Hi James
This race will be run in conjunction with an ASRA race. The busy D1 schedule coupled with tracks having their own bookings made an entirely separate race tough to coordinate. The date that is being pursued is the Sunday June 23rd which is the weekend before the divisional at Lebanon Valley Dragway.

Being 1 of the 6 races of the ASRA season, it will follow the race format of a typical ASRA race. 2 time trials (weather permitting), qualifying based on reaction time and heads up runs in eliminations.

All stock/super stock racers are welcome. The efforts that Barry is graciously putting in to promote a memorial race will be available to all participants. You don't have to be an ASRA member. The gate fee has everyone eligible for the track portion of the purse and then what Barry is able to raise will be added to that purse. ASRA members will still race for their separate portion of the purse funded by membership dues and the support of the association's sponsors. When all details are finalized, it will be a guaranteed purse (nothing pro-rated) that will be clearly posted for everyone to see.

This weekend also has a VP fuel deal sponsored by Lebanon Valley which is also open to all participants (don't have to be a member). The racer with the most points between the race on Sat and Sun wins a drum of C12.

There are definitely incentives for there to be a big turnout of cars to support stock and super stock racing and pay tribute to some of the legends of the sport that recently passed away.
