Guaranteed Purses

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

Like what Mike said at the Buckeye races we have had more stockers win then Super Stockers and I'm saying like i have said before, i don't care who is promoting a SS/Stock combo race, please help support them as this might be the way of the future for these class type cars to run together and be able to run often.

In our series (Tri-State S/SS Association), Stockers have dominated. Stockers have won all four season Championships that we've kept track of points for (Tom Losket C/SA 1997, Jeff Ross I/PSA 1999, Steve Klacik O/SA 2000, Luke Morris N/SA 2008). At Hagerstown MD, I've been doing races there since 1995. In 17 spring and fall races at Hagerstown since 1995, Stockers have taken 22 of the 34 final round spots and 11 of the 17 wins (1997 was totally washed out). Stockers won all three races last year (four, counting the M-D Gamblers) and six of eight finals. I could go back and look up all the events in Tri-State history, and I bet Stockers have about 60% of the wins and probably even a bigger percentage of finals. So, Stockers can more than hold their own in Combo races.

We had 2 superstockers and 16 stockers at KDS this past weekend. Terry you have a point ,but look at the stockers that run superstock now at the sanctioned events. The 1st Z-Max race was superstock only and i kow there were close to 1/2 stockers running in it.Final 3 was 1 superstocker and 2 stockers.

OK....then WHY wont the racers support the stock S/S combo circuit events? Less pain in the butt, less time away from home and work, good pay outs, no waiting on sponsor pay outs, NO grade points needed, shorter travel, it all seems like a win win situation to me. Is it because of the no heads up runs or wt. and fuel checks? Anyone??? Lets fix/figure out the problem before the ONLY place you have to play is at a National event or a points/open race.

If i could answer that , i would be the richest track operator in the world. Top 10 list 1- No Heads-up, 2- No scales , 3- No tech inspection , 4 - No NHRA uniforms, 5 - No fuel check , 6 - No NHRA uniforms , 7 - (refer to # 4 & # 6) , 8 - Prestige , 9 - no $ 280.00 entry fee , 10 - Can't stay 3-4 days to race 1 race , 11 - ???????anyone? I could name more ,but let's here some of yours.

Number 4 and 6 and 7 would win me over.....lol. All kidding aside I wish I knew also. Even the East Coast stock & S/S circuit in NJ only gets somewhere around 20 to 25 cars and there are more class legal cars per square inch around Atco NJ than any where in the USA. Maybe its just the economy? People who are not rich have only so much $$$$ to play with and maybe they would rather run the points, opens, and large events although from the looks and size of most of the tow rigs I kind of doubt money is the real problem. Im thinking its #'s 1, 2, 3, and 5.

[Marc Kinton]

me??? i could have easily done either or, that's two cars right there plus Jim would make 3, AND if I'm not mistaken there were several others that asked the question why were they on the same day? Doesn't matter now, it's been fixed and we can run them both with nominal travel. Hell, I don't care about the money, didn't get into it for that, I just want 1 round!

IF we could find a big enough trailer and some extra drivers we could just go raid Jim's barn and have More cars!

C y'all at Coastal Plains, I'm going to the beach to ride the Harley this weekend.

Ido not know the answer, We at the ssssa usually can count on seeing the same faces of a select few each and every race.Many come and race every chance they get and then some just dont show up even when its in their own backyard. All of these associations were created to give all class racers a place to race that is fun and wont break the bank. In my opinion, if there is no participation now in the assoc. , there eventually will not be an assoc. for many. Then when it becomes almost impossible to find a place to race your s/ss cars, the class will die off or be sold off and when everyone then wants an association, nobody will want to take the chance for fear of support. think about it guys and gals. you need to support the associations who are trying to help you. ok, fire away

A question at a Stock and Super Stock race if the Starting line is not prepped right who is going to spin more ??? Cars with more power or less power Just curious as I am just a rookie

[jim reynolds]

One of the points Tracy is making, which i wholeheartedly agree with, is it is absolutely stupid that one track schedules on top of another in close proxemity on the same date!!! ESPECIALLY, after the 1st track(ROXBORO), has had these races scheduled way in advance....... I would've raced at both, but ROXBORO had this date 1st and garanteed their purse to boot!!! By the way congrats Tracy on the WIN!
