First off if who ever runs these deals, make sure you pay the racers at the event, (some knows what I'm saying there)
One person runs the deal, ladders, runs lanes, and makes the calls if needed.

Biggest problem is car count, when you put one of these things on everybody and there brother say they will come and support it, when the gates open you get 15 cars and holding your ***. Ask Kenny Shawver, Tony DePillo and others that have tried to start up a SS/Stock series.

Dave Ley has the best damn SS/Stock series (ECSSSA) going in the country right now and all you need to do is copy his gig. Everybody gets 2 TT's runs, they get laddered I think after round one, and go have fun.
BTW SS/Stock series in Florida sounds good also. (SSSA)

This is just my take on this, BIG thing, pay the racers!!!!!!!!! At the end of the event.

I think the blueprint for a successful Stock/SS combo format has foundation in a number of the current organisations. The Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series in Ontario was founded in 1996 by F.J. Smith and is supported by a host of racers, many of whom have been participants since its inception. The average car count is consistently in the 25-30 range, and the competition is fierce. Without this group's existence, I would not be able to justify owning and racing a Stock Eliminator car.
