Thoughts/Opinions on Scheduled $25k S/SS Races

Great idea hopefully it takes off ! If enough of these get scheduled through out the year, who in there right mind would pay 330 to enter a race to win a 1000 to 1500 anymore ? Bring it !!

Build it and we will come. Not sure if Easter would be the best weekend to do it. BP

Has anyone caught wind of the entry fee?...the website has no info as yet.

J.R. Haddad · 11-04-2020, 11:12 PM

My best guess is $500.00 per $25,000.00 race. J.R.

Entry Fee is set and will be on the flyer which I’m hoping to post in next week or so but entry will be $699 for BOTH 25k main events. Not EACH.....BOTH.

If the dates are correct and stand, this race is the week after the Atlanta National Event. I would have to drive through St.Louis on my way back to Minnesota anyway, so it works for me.

Date is rough one for me. Wednesday start day is tough! Plus Easter weekend. Still interested though.

How will this differ from a big money bracket race just for class cars?
Will there be anything to keep the cars as legal class cars? Will there be tech? Heads up races? One thing that seems to attract racers to association races is the not so heavy top end payout. Getting money for a second round loss seems like an attraction for some,
I think if the format is structured as just a big money bracket race limited to class cars, it may not bring the cars that Ken's race brought.

I appreciate the effort for anyone that is trying to do something for class racers. That being said, it would not be something that I personally could do because of it being Easter weekend. I hope it goes well and draws tons of cars but I heard one track owner tell me there were 2 things you couldn't compete with when putting on a race, God and mama. Good luck with the race I sincerely hope it goes well.

I have 2 NHRA tech officials locked in, and have my eyes on one more. Tech will be held, scales will be enforced, working on fuel check as well, and tear downs are possible. Your AHFS factor as of the week of the race will be the factor used for the event. I’m making this as legit as anyone possibly could. I will release a full run down of the rules and who my tech officials are once I get the flyer posted in next couple of weeks. Oh, and of course, HEADS UP RUNS WILL BE IN EFFECT. $699 for TWO 25k to win stock/super stock races with Nhra tech officials doing everything to ensure no one is showing up without a true LEGAL Nhra stocker or super stocker. We pay 3rd round winners $250 and go up from there have 5k to runner up and 25k to win. Stock and Super stock will be laddered E1 through the final. Stock and Super Stock will be run SEPARATE until the final.
