S/SS combo @ BIR 2011

[JRyan]

I guess I'll chime in with my .02 cents. We haven't attended any races in recent years for various reasons. Part of that has to do with moneyand family, part with work. As I work every other Saturday until noon. Thunder Valley and Oahe both start in the afternoon on Saturdays so I can work and still make it in time to run. Finally part of it is because it's only a one day race. I know you can bracket race on Sunday. But, I can bracket race at Oahe and usually be home at a reasonable hour with half the expense.

I can see Travis' point on the purse issue for S/SS as opposed to the bracket cars. Why would he want to pound on a high dollar SS'er for minimal return. Then run in a bracket class with it Sunday when he has a tank of a bracket car that requires little maintainance sitting at home. So I can understand his mindset. We're in the same boat. We're turning dad's old 4 door into a bracket car so we can run more closer to home with wearing out the SS'ers or be able to run a bracket class along with the combo race.

Glen, I wish you luck if anyone can get it turned around it's you. I'd love to see it turn into a two day race and then I know we would try to make a couple when possible.

What about having an incentive program. Like if you win a race or RU you get 50/25 per race attended that season inaddition to the normal winnings obivously it would be payed out at the end of the year. also I thought of Dan Jeska. I would also like a 2 day stock/ss weekend

well now we are getting somewhere, what about having a couple 2 day races, get 40-50-60
cars plus kerby"s idea and you have some pretty good pay possible. Check scheduling
so we are not overlapping anything else and we should have a good turn out, i havent looked at the schedule but a week before of after other races that people are traveling to
would make sense as they will be here or close anyway, like around the nationals or
divisional or traveling to the us nationals.. Just a idea

Incentive Program, Hmmm!!! I can clearly recall tracks paying tow money to long distance racers (150 miles or more) but that was at the dawn of the internal combustion engine. I used a tow bar at that time and still have the hooks on the front of one of my cars today. I still have that tow bar too. Doug

Boy "O" Boy, What a immpressive list of stock / superstock Racers.
I think Kerby will have to make a bigger Box ??

Sorokie Start figuring out the best pay outs!! If we talk nice Glen can print out a card showing different pay out for the car counts and stickers for the Box.

Hay Mattson after June does this mean Claton Throwing you out to be the crew boy!!

See Ya in the spring

If you guys want a 2 day race you better drag your lazy -sses out there for a race or two to show this isn't a bunch of jaw-jackin. Why the heck should Jed and Kristi do anything different until we prove to them we are serious. Then, if we can do that, we can see about having two day races! As it stands right now, we had better thank our lucky stars we still have a place to race S/SS. If anyone has a problem with this please contact me and I'll give you a short lesson in Economics 101. Thank you, Joe Demers
THE BOX RULES!!!!

At TVD many have givin money to sweeten the pot, just because we what to keep a good thing going. If half the racers you have up there throw in 50 bucks for a points fund you have a couple of grand to give out at the end of the year. It is up to the class racers to keep a good thing going up there, remember a winner will say it may be difficult but I can do it, a loser will say its not my job. Tom

Hey X-TECH, we never do anything easy here in good old Minnesota, and it seems ever since Dave Young quit racing, everything has went to hell in a handbasket!!! I think we have a pretty good handle with on it now, and we can get the racers to support it, or we'll be driving to ATCO.
