ROLL CALL TOPEND DRAGWYS (FARGO ND) s/ss July 30-13

[corky]

Glen call me on the cell phone I 'm in Pierre this weekend helping Jim with the 69. 605 228 1698. Corky

[MEXJOE]

Yes
You pay $35 to the track for track use only.
The rest is decided by the racers.
Last time I think we put in $60 each and split the pot among the winners.

If we can get some cars out the pot will be bigger.

And you get the cash that day!!
No looking for someone to pay you or give you a check or mail it to you.

Maybe Rick Ryan could chime in here. He was in charge of that end of things.

My job was to promote the race and get some cars out for it.
I failed.
We had only 6 cars to show.

The weather was Perfect!
So was the traction!
SOOOO.... Where were the cars??

I get the feeling that this race and track are not ( for what ever reason ) are not being supported by the S/SS racers?

I don't get it!?
$4.05 a gallon for fuel why would you drive 8,9,10, hrs. to race.
When you have an track that is 3-4 hrs. away For most, that is;
is begging you to come and race; and having a true S/SS Combo for you?

Lets give this place the shot it's looking for and have FUN doing it!!

Sorry Brent,
I haven't been on the computer much the last few days. Entry fee is $35 dollars at the gate. Then $65 in staging lanes for the purse. Unfortunately we don't have any added money to the purse at this time. So the purse is completely based on the car count. Obviously, with a limited car count the purse is heavy toward the finals since it's only a couple rounds. We'd like to do this again next year and plan on working to try and get some sponsor money. However, if we don't have at least a respectable car count. Management will probably pass on the idea of having more races.
Glen is correct with everything he's said. These guys do want us to be there and enjoy their facility. The track was great on Saturday and the few that made some test runs on Sunday said it was even better. This would be a great weekend to help try some things before the Nats in Brainerd.
Hopefully we can get enough interest to keep this facility a viable option for S/SS racing in the future.

I hope the new owner can get this track back to where it once was! There has always been great people to race with there! I will be there with one car so hopefully we will have a good showing!
