Can't believe we are talking a $10,000 to win bracket race for raising money for cancer research and we haven't had any comments from anyone yet?? C'mon guys and gals, give us some feedback on whether or not this sounds inviting enough for us to continue in this direction and try to put this race on next May or should we do something else.
Looking to add a test-n-tune session on Friday night with a sponsored race of $1000 to win by one of our local businesses here in the Mt. Vernon area.
Pretty sure that Kil-Kare has one of their $5000 to win racing weekends that same weekend, so join us on Friday and Saturday and then tow down there for a couple of $5000 to win races on Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day). Sounds like a great weekend of racing to me!!
Let us know what you think, thanks!!

wonder if i should talk to someone about having our Buckeye SS/Stock event the same night, would be a hell of a event.

sounds like a plan joe

Sounds like a great idea Joe but, there's one of our larger Lucas Oil races in D-1 that weekend at Maple Grove.... may or may not hurt the car count.
....Just an FYI.
Good luck w/ your event.

Jim, count us in. $100 entry for $10Gs. We race divisionals for more entry and MUCH less payout than that. Sounds like a no brainer and for a great cause.

Nitro Joe:
Ultimately would be Mike Fouts' call on the Stock/Super Stock race. I am just looking to do the bracket race for the RacingForCancer fund. Would definitely welcome the group to this event and would look forward to working with you.
Give me a call sometime (614-207-6705) after you talk with Mike.
Thanks for the input!!

I think the idea of the race is a good idea, though I think you should either move it up a week to May 22nd so that it doesn't conflict with the D-1 LODRS race at Maple Grove, or maybe move it back to June 19th (though that is the same weekend as the Bristol National Event).

That said, you may not actually lose that many cars if you do run it on the 29th, as it seems to me that not many Div. 3 cars venture east for the D-1 LODRS events, and not many Div. 3 cars venture west for races in D-3. There are some of us (like myself) that are in-between the two that would need to make a choice, but quite frankly there's not many of us.

Regardless, I hope the event is a success, and that you raise a lot of money for a great cause.
