Buybacks????

I don't know how many remember Larry Ray that raced SS then moved to TS. He put it best when BB came out in Bracket Racing. He said" Best thing that ever happened for the racer. Where can you go and race twice and only tow to the track once"

Not everybody is as successful as you are Chip, buybacks are a good deal for you because you win your fare share of races,you make that money back and then some. Their are alot more guys who buyback that never win that money back. So now the burden is on them to fund these higher purses that the top guys win the majority of the time. After awhile they get discouraged and quit and little by little the car counts go down just like they've done in bracket racing. So somebody tell me in the long run how this is good for the sport.

Jeff,
Bottom line is you don't have to BB if you don't want to.

Little fact I found interesting. Class racers are being the most vocal against the re-entry program but at VMP more Stockers bought back than any other class. HHHMMM

I bought back and won....and it still felt good to me..... the only thing I can say I hate about the race was we qualified in stock first rd then they write on the sheet for first rd that they are gonna do a pro ladder first rd not a sportsman ladder...well I was fine for a sportsman ladder on the sheet no heads up runs for me first rd but the pro ladder oh well heads up run first rd and they put the sheet up as they called us for first rd... they should do a random paring first rd like they did the re entry rd and then generate a ladder....the re entry deal was fine by me win or lose first rd...I say thanks IHRA.summit.and racing junk.com for the race we should be more worried what will come next year and thank them for a 5 k race for a 200$ entry
