Pay outs for 2013

[Jeffl52]

Heard no-one has received points money from last year points fund. Very disappointing to hear. It would be nice to get everyone together and get this put back together. We had a good think going and hate to see it fall apart, but first thing first we need to get our champion Greg Rowe and other top finishers money. I guess this year is over since no updated schedule has been posted so we can as a whole focus on next year and get everything back on track. Scott my vote is in for you to step down and let someone else try to move us as a organization in the right direction.

I was looking forward to attending these races especially since finishing a new car but you areare right this year doesn't look good. Even though I knew of Greg's situation I was hoping this would be resolved and it would move forward but that's unlikely at best. With the tremendous support the organization had the last couple years it can still happen we just need some people to step up and I'm willing to do something but I have 2 small children that makes my time limited but will volunteer to do what I can to help make these last few races happen.

I understand it's been very quiet here but I think you guys may be jumping the gun on the 2014 schedule. We did have the first race of the season at Piedmont, which was very poorly attended in June and the next two were scheduled for Benson/Galot which got cancelled and out of anyone's control. As for the rest of the schedule, nothing should have changed as I looked on each tracks website and they still show us on the calendar. If I remember correctly the awards from last year were supposed to be given at the first Benson race. I assume Scott will be handling that at the first race we go to which should be at Dinwiddie. Hopefully he will chime in and ease all the concerns. Just my .02, I'm looking forward to VMP myself!

I will be there also Sterling but I think I will pass on a points fund. Look forward to seeing you.

Just to inform the series sponsors and board members. I have been trying to get in contact with Scott for the last 3 months or longer with no avail. Numberous texts and calls and private messages with no answer. Finally got in touch with him at his work and he told me he was too busy to call me. I was promised my check was in the mail which of course I have not received. I would like to see the series succeed but I think it needs to go in a different direction with new leadership.

This is how I remember it as well...BUT I did also p.m. him on facebook about this last week and still no response. A little heads up about the future would be nice!

This story sounds very familiar to a preceding organization labeled SCRA that was formed after the IHRA cut class racing out some time back. We found out then it was next to impossible for racers themselves to keep an organization alive for any period of longevity. Experience shows it WILL WORK, it just needs people NOT IN COMPETITION as active car owners. A marketing person is needed and it COULD be good for everyone----it is out there is done correctly.

Let me add this.....I remember that points money was not paid at the beginning of the season but "promised" at the beginning. We did get it eventually but it was very awkward telling champions at the banquet to "wait" for whenever. RULE NO 1---don't advertise a points fund on credit until the end of the season, sponsors need to pay up front. Racers get worn out with that kind of responsibility and pressure. I believe something very similiar happened to the gear jammer club events.

I think it's time for a good meeting, before we start racing at VMP... I think the Winning Racer's have waited long enough !!!! Sad to see this happen again ...
