How much does the Purse have to be to get you to race? - Page 2

Matt that has always been the case in the past. I don't see why it would change. If any of the BOD members could let us know if this will still be the case. Thanks Barry

Matt in the past the track has allowed us to leave are rigs there , you'll have to be parked per the LVD crew before leaving the track on our weekend. Also you'll have to pre pay for the divisional race at our race .

Barry and Marc, Thanks for the response and details. Didn't know about prepayment and parking, important to know, but not a deterrent in any way.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt we hope to see you and your Dad there. Dave had done some pretty nice motors for you guys threw the years. I'm sure you must have some good Lebrun stories. We are just at the beginning of putting together finical support for this race. But I have to admit the way it is looking this maybe one of the largest payouts we have seen in Division one. Barry

PS You think you could get Eric Wingo to show up?

Barry i will be there with my dad !
Dave was my childhood hero when my dad was bringing me to Sanair!

will you make some type of a memorial Decals for the event
would put it on my car proudly

Matt Welker · 03-01-2019, 12:17 PM

I doubt Wingo would make that trip, its a long drive for him. We race a lot of D3 so we do our testing and meet with him at those races.

We will try to make it for sure, unless we have a family commitment that weekend. Back to back and/or multiple race weekends are great for us. I know you are asking about purse, but we just want more chances to race for the time and travel expense, purse is just an xtra to us as ROI in time or $ for Div/Nat is horrible, any local s/ss association beats it.

I once lost oil pressure in a motor, (freak parts failure) scorched crank and six rods on a Friday at a National Event during class. Dropped it with Dave that Monday, he called me wednesday to pick it up, it was ready for the divisional that weekend. Told me his customers don't miss races because of engine issues. I can only imagine how hard he and the other racers out of L&L worked in their prime.

Matt look forward to seeing you guys there. The decal is being talked about I'm sure there will be something. Will let you know as soon as there is one. Barry

Good new guys ! Just confirmed as in the past pre pay and park as instructed and leave your rig in place for the divisional. Thank you Wayne and the LVD crew.

Barry, Great to see you doing this, in honor of some long time friends.
I'll be there if I can, but I don't make a real good spectator ;-)

Meanwhile, figure on $ 100 to the winner from Blue Streak Enterprises.. Let me know how to get that to you guys.
Good luck with this.
