Maple Grove 50th Anniversary Stk / SS Series

[Marty Rinehart Jr]

Before anyone reads anything into this!
This series is not intended to try to compete with Dave Ley's series. In fact, we want to work with Dave and his crew as we all know, he runs great events. Lex is all for working with Dave and not against him.

Marty,
I don't think that anyone thinks that Lex is trying to compete with any other races but in the long run it does compete with everything. Most people nowadays have to tighten up and race less because of the world around us. Because of this people have to pick and choose. Even if in a perfect world you could get all races schedule without conflicting with any other in my calculations, that would be 23 races on 27 weekends. Don't you think that with a schedule such as this all the races are competing?

[Dave Casey]

This is a great idea and I compliment Lex and co on considering it.

That being said, everyone's comments have merit, the most being scheduling. having done the ASRA stk/ss schedule myself for a number of years, it is the hardest thing. I suggest that Lex and co look at the schedule and come up with what they can for non conflicting dates and run with it. 5 dates will be tough to find, but your season is a little longer than up in the mass/ny/nh/ct area. Maybe Dave and Lex could run races on the same weekend, one saturday, one sunday.

Michael's comment about points purse I understand, but personnaly i think points brings more cars in than a bigger purse. Some of our best highlights at our ASRA races have been related to points.

Vic, with the expense of racing and the time involved, I don't think you will have a problem with legality issues and street car issues. I only say that because it has not been an issue for us at ASRA. It seems that the racers police themselves pretty well, and that is a good thing.

Hope this happens, any stock/ss race is a good thing

How about a one weekend combined ECSSSA/ASRA/50th Maple Grove Stock/SS extravaganza? Everyone earns points for their respective series. Have a race on Saturday and one on Sunday with Wallys and big purses.

Sounds like a Road Trip to me...

[Brian VP]

I think that it would be great to get the ECSSSA and the ASRA together for one weekend. That would be some competition between 2 great organizations.

[Michael Beard]

Who exactly are all of these hoards of unknown Pure Stockers and "IHRA cars" that are infiltrating combos in the Northeast?

[MikeFicacci]

I don't think we have ever had one of those at the ECSS races.

[Pistol Pete]

I'm in agreement with Brian VP. We should get the 2 great organizations together for a race.

ECSSSA vs. ASRA.

The only thing i would suggest: 2 seperate catorgories. Stock vs Stock.
Super Stock vs Super Stock.

I'm sure we can get a good car count in each one.
That would be a "fun" weekend race.

OK Brian, i nominate you to run it.......lol
You & Lee did a Great Job on your Combo in the Hills Race.
