A 75 car turnout for S/G would be within reason, and could still provide a very good payout.
Pre entry discount ,or a payout bonus for pre entries may encourage some racers.
If someone is willing to put in the effort to do this in D1 I will support it, But if it becomes someones idea of a Super Elim Combo race , forget it, I am not a bracket racer.
If I was any good at handicap racing ,and I'm not, there are plenty of big money gambler races I'd go to.
As far as taking credit cards, this should be a CASH payout race , I dont think MASGA or the Super comp assn. are equipped to take credit cards, let alone give up the percentage points.

Remote credit card machines and providers are as simple as brushing your teeth,provided they're still there, kiddin...I have all those connections and will help any way I can just call any time but get down south.

Would 10.90 be included in this race? sounds like an awesome idea and I would definately be in........like someone else just said pay 5K to the winner of each class. Coincidentally, I believe IHRA is doing the same thing this year with their sportsman spectacular events held at Budds Creek and Richmond. $200 entry and paying 5K plus contingencies to the winners of every sportsman class!

Does sound very interesting. If it does start taking shape were would you want to run it, make it close (ohio area) to Div.3 and i think the car count would be pretty good.

I'm all for it myself. I agree with Boo Boo, location is important. Ohio would be great location.

Def would attend. Good luck getting it together tho. Maple Grove would work for a lot of people..

Boo Boo and Iceman,

Numidia used to draw a lot of D-3 cars when they had a D-1 race back in the early 2000's. It's in the middle of Pa and it's a drive for both D-1 and D-3 guys but, the track is smooth and very nice. Plus those of us who have little ones can hit Knoebels one of the days for a day out with the family. That's what we normally do with MASGA. Bob openes the gates early for us on Friday, we park go to Knoebels, come back watch the street racing, then race on Sat and Sun.
Dale, would love to come to MIR in July but, Lex put MASGA on the same weekend at Maple Grove for us. Tried to move it around but, had no open dates to do anything with. Loved going to MIR last year for the MASGA Race.

MIR is a great track and has plenty of room .this would be a good location for a BIG .90 race, maybe promot as North vs. South.
or there is always a race within the race> all s/g racers put in 20 or 30 bucks before 1st rd. and winner take ALL. for an added payout
