$5000 stock/super stock shootout???
I am in the process of putting together a five race Stock/Super Stock Open. I have been working on two races up north and three races in the Tri-State area. I drove for Don Wilgis during the last three divisional races and was surprised at the amount of the payout for these races when you pay so much to race at them. I am use to running big buck brackett races where the payout is worth the entry fee. The payout structure at the divisionals is a joke. I was wondering how many racers would be interested in a combo race that paid $5000 to the winner on a $125 entry fee ?

Jim, are you referring to the traditional Tri-State area as in NY, NJ and CN? Where is "up north" from your perspective? I'm just trying to put things in perspective. Sounds like a good concept.

Why not Ontario?
Jim, you should get in touch with Fred Smith; info@smithperformance.com. Our CanAm Stock/SS series has been in existence for over 10 years and has drawn as many as 40+ entries. The enhanced purse should draw interest from neighboring states and we usually make room in the schedule for a couple of non-points races. Fred makes sure that the Cayuga surface has "teeth". Less than an hour from Buffalo.

Have one at MIR and you may get some folks from down south! Sounds like a winner depending on scheduling.

MIR is a great facility and Royce is a great promoter. Ontario would be awesome. I know the spectator count is great up there. It's something I would be interested in.

JIm,
How about coming to Ohio? I would love to race a stock/super stock combo for that kind of money! Jeff Day #3731 |

I love Ohio! Norwalk is one of my favorite places to race. I am up for anywhere we could get a good car count!

I hate to be the stick in the mud, but how about supporting the East Coast Stock/Super Stock Association instead of proposing a brand new group in their backyard? (At least when talking about Atco, RP, CC, MG, and Island)
