Thumbs up Re: .90 Big $$$ Race

I'm in! $$$$$
But we've had numerous discussions about this before with nothing ever materializing.
I don't know what it would take to motivate my fellow S/G racers,but a 125 car field in S/G is not realistic any more.
A 75 car turnout for S/G would be within reason, and could still provide a very good payout.
Pre entry discount ,or a payout bonus for pre entries may encourage some racers.
If someone is willing to put in the effort to do this in D1 I will support it, But if it becomes someones idea of a Super Elim Combo race , forget it, I am not a bracket racer.
If I was any good at handicap racing ,and I'm not, there are plenty of big money gambler races I'd go to.
As far as taking credit cards, this should be a CASH payout race , I dont think MASGA or the Super comp assn. are equipped to take credit cards, let alone give up the percentage points.

what about a combo race with super comp? like a 9.40 index
i dont nkow how the super gas guys will feel about racing dragsters,keep them seperate as long as possible then merge together. would be a way to get the car count up.

Well even if it's a $5,000 to win S/G and $ 5,000 to win S/C and for fun in the end have a King of the Track race with the 2 winners. I'm not all for having Dragster vs. Car either cause then it's almost like a high $$ bracket race. Like I said I'm just throwing this around and seeing what people think about it. I thought Brian and Lee's idea was great and from the e-mails I got so did a few other people. If it works out really depends on sponsors stepping in and the interests from the .90 racers.

Hold it on the same weekend. That would be awesome, just like a National/Divisional without the bs.

Id be in for the .90 and the stock superstock combo

Remote credit card machines and providers are as simple as brushing your teeth,provided they're still there, kiddin...I have all those connections and will help any way I can just call any time but get down south.

Would 10.90 be included in this race? sounds like an awesome idea and I would definately be in........like someone else just said pay 5K to the winner of each class. Coincidentally, I believe IHRA is doing the same thing this year with their sportsman spectacular events held at Budds Creek and Richmond. $200 entry and paying 5K plus contingencies to the winners of every sportsman class!

Does sound very interesting. If it does start taking shape were would you want to run it, make it close (ohio area) to Div.3 and i think the car count would be pretty good.

I'm all for it myself. I agree with Boo Boo, location is important. Ohio would be great location.
