This day in time it's hard for tracks to justify taking a chance on guaranteed purses. This past weekend we ran a combo race at Roxboro that had been on the calendar since January, which gave all the racers ample time to plan ahead to try and make it. Over the winter Allen (the track manager) asked what would it take on his end to get the racers to support his s/ss monthly events...everyone said "guaranteed purse". So he stepped up and advertised a minimum of $1000 to win and $200 r/u and over 21 cars we revert back to the 100% payback system. Well, I have to give a big thanks to Allen as well as the track owners Jerry and Henry as they paid out the guaranteed purse plus $75 to the semi finalist and there were only 12 cars there. If you're not familiar w/ this race try to make it if you can the second Saturday in every month through November.

At the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association races the stockers have done much better than the super stock cars. I think we have had only 1 or 2 super stock winners out of all of the races. There are more stockers than super stockers at most of the races. I dont see much advantage with my super stock car over a stocker. They consistently kick my butt.

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.
