Division 1 National Opens

Dave,
I'm pretty sure it was 170 for 2 grand to win last year at the Dutch. They do that cause it's a 4 day race (which for some of us means 2 to 3 extra days off of work). Now they do throw in the best package bonus for the 2nd qualifying run on Thurs and Fri of $ 500 & $ 250 for the .90 Class Guys which is an added bonus.
I think the cut-down on races is due to the economy and just the car counts. I mean I think Island 2 years ago had like 11 cars in S/G and Numidia had like 16 last year. We actually had more cars there for the MASGA race the following weekend then at the NHRA Race (20 or 21). I mean I wish they didn't get rid of the point system since Dad told me since I run the Dutch already that I could run Atco in April and try to finish in the Top 10 in points. I just wonder with the adjustment in purse are the entry fee's going to be lower? I mean you look at this PC Richards/Sony is putting up $ 1,000.00 so there is some money that D-1 saves and then they save on not putting money out at the banquet for the Champions of the Opens. I like the new set-up but, I do think it will have to be tweeked a tad bit and I wonder how many racers will decide not to go to these races cause they win a Gift Card rather then cash money and they don't have anything to chase at the end of the year plus the entry fee is the same. Like Dave said there are the few who will shoot just to win a "Wally".
Looks like we may see you at some more MASGA races this year Dave...should be a good time!

Maybe we could get P.C. Richards/Sony and MASGA joined together. How about it Lucky? Bigger purse, bigger party, 2 race weekends. Sounds like win win for everybody.

I have been schooled many times, right at the track by him, still have not learned.

Because there are only 3 maybe make some or all of them National Open/Division races and give out division points, hats, wallys, etc.

Thanks Gary and Sony and Division 1!
