Big dollar stock/super stock races!

[Kent Hanley]

Make it worth everyones time, copy the format of the big bracket races like the one Atco and Tom Stalba host in august. Make it a 3 day race with 3 seperate races. Include Buy Backs so racers and the track can make more money. Dont reinvent the wheel.

I second that! The format that is run at Stalba's race is pretty good. Def no reason to reinvent the wheel. If NHRA and IHRA cars were allowed to both compete it would ensure that there were enough cars to run seperate stock and super stock classes. Buybacks are also a plus for the racer and the track! This is the type of races we need to have available to us. I have spent alot of my time bracket racing this year. The money is definetely better than class racing unless you have the opportunity to attend alot of national events where the money is very good. I will not attend the Richmond National Event and also the Atco Divisional for this reason. It is 5000 and 2500 to win the footbrake class those weekends at my home track Numidia Dragway, which is 17 miles from my house. I love Stock Eliminator, but I also like getting paid the same day if I do well! We really need to all get together and organize some of these races for next season!

buy backs would be a 100% guarantee that I won't be there. No buyback is just one of the many reasons alot of class racers are class racers and not bracket racers. Otherwise i think its a great idea. The man to talk to is Mike Fuqua, his race every year is always a big hit.

We'll miss you.

The man said high dollar Stock and Super Stock races. Don't believe they have much to do with buy backs.

There is at least one $1,000.00 race for the big dawgs. A couple of those each year would be fun to watch. Heads up racing and tear down for the final pair. But the entries would probably drop to about 12 - 16 per race.

Piedmont Dragway can and will offer a race like this next year. It will be pre entry and must get a min number of entries. I will do it on a pro rated up purse after the min is met. The more cars the more money with a guarantee. The question is how much to I charge.

I say 300 for 2 races, one Saturday on Sunday, I can do this race the first week of April 2009. If we get 50 cars the purse would be 7500 per race.


3000 win
1500 ru
500 semi
2501/4
125 1/8

Better than a divisional....if we have 100 cars you double that...

Sounds pretty good to me.
