Big Money Class Races-our thoughts

MR DERBY CITY · 04-07-2021, 12:20 PM

Something to consider, when WE are the show....who is the FILLER ??? We need some sort of filler ...to minimize the downtime....I believe a nice $$ nostalgia race would fit right in ???? Like YAC said, SPECTATORS....$$$$. Sure can help the bottom line. .......

How about for filler you use the Jr's? They bring lots of family members and buy lots of hot dogs.

From a pretty good source in the first 25 k race the last eight split the prize money. Same thing in the CIC stock race, the top two had a deal. There are some pretty Classy Racers out there. It is not always about the money. Tom

Hi Larry Was good to see you in St Loius . We have some good races scheduled at Earlville this season and would love to have you there. I can assure you that steps are being taken to maintain consistency with traction at these races. The challenge is the large car count puts a strain on the track, but I have faith in Reed and Bill to take care of us. thanks Bob

Count me as a NO on that one.

Bob if large car counts are the problem the track has to know it’s limitations. The choice is simple, limit entries to what they can provide value to, a good racing experience. Rent equipment and expertise to handle the surge or move it to a quality track.
