Bruce,

I sent all the info out to you on Wednesday so hopefully this will give you a start on how to get everything set-up. One thing to really think about is to keep it simple. When you start getting outrageous on things people start turning their backs to it and it eventually falls apart. Keep it local, find out where your CORE racers are from and put tracks on the schedule that you know will draw the cars. We went to Numidia for over 7 years and just never drew over 20+ cars there with the SG association, we also went to MIR in 2010 but, it was the last race of the season and a few locals showed up and basically the Top 10 in points meaning only 19 cars. The problem was also for a lot of members was we had 2 weekends (4 races) that were having the members drive 4+ hours to the track and it was a lot for a little association. If you are going to do something like that you need to try to make it a guaranteed payout. Now we keep it local at Atco, Maple Grove & Cecil and car counts are at about 77 per event for all 3 classes.

Once again any help you need Bruce I'm here to help out!
