Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

Just wondering if anyone has seen or payed attention to the schedule for the opening divison 9 race at Rockingham for this upcoming weekend. On the IHRA site it's Qualifying Saturday with a braket race and a combo race that night followed by the Summit Pro-Am race Sunday.. I like this type of schedule to have more than one race in a weekend but I'm a little confused on the payouts!!


BRACKET RACE
$50 entry
Win - $2,000 • Runner-up - $500
Semis - $100 • Quarters - $75
Buybacks 1st or 2nd round
IHRA cars can run class set up
Purse guaranteed with 48 cars

STK/SS COMBO
$50 entry
Win - $1,000 • Runner-up - $200
Semis - $75 • Quarters - $50
Buybacks 1st or 2nd round
Purse guaranteed with 48 car


Same take-in but 1/2 the payout !! Never been one to complain and will enter the race regardless, but just thought I would see if it raised anyone else eyebrows!! Also I have never ran a combo race with buy-backs!! Maybe a Misprint

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

That is the same race schedule they have had for years,
As for the pay out I guess it is because they have more cars running Bracket than the Class combo.

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

That would make sense if they didn't both have the same 48 car requirement. Hopefully it is a misprint. If it is not a misprint it is a slap in the class racers face.

Good race except the 2 rd buybacks nice to have a second race!

Jeff,
How long you been racing? You know the Top class gets more money than the bottom class. Always been that way.
Last year They even allowed local bracket cars to enter the combo class.

I do however like this schedule much better than the Friday/Saturday deal they tried last year.

ME too!! We're bringing four and will enter 3 in the combo..

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

Mickey ,I know what you will be doing during the buy back session ....lol.... You are coming ,right ?

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

Ok Chip, Jeff and others...still think this payout is biased against class racers so think it's a poor way to boost participation, particularly "crossovers" from NHRA.

BRACKET RACE

Win - $2,000 • Runner-up - $500
Semis - $100 • Quarters - $75

The combo and bracket race are put on by the track, not IHRA.

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

The Track itself is giving the class racers a Combo race.
They don't have to..
You can look at it this way it is more Test & Tune for the class racers at the NHRA division races Test & Tune is $100
And this Combo race Has Nothing to do with IHRA.

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

I understand they don't have to run a combo race and I'm glad they are running one and I will support it. I will also support IHRA and I know the track itself puts these races on which have nothing to due with IHRA. I know it sounds like complaining, but it's more like not understanding the format , show me a race in the Carolinas or surronding areas that have a pro race and a footbrake with same entry, car min. same buy backs with different purses because I have looked and can't find one.. Chip not a pissing argument and yes I have raced a long time in footbrake and pro, and pro always payed more to win as well as to enter. Just to make sure I will support this race and I'm glad there putting it on!!

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

If it makes you guys feel any better, if there is a typo anywhere, it would be with the car minimum for the Box class, seeing as how $50 x 48 cars would not cover their purse. Guys, seriously.... it's $50 for a grand... what's the entry fee and purse for the Pro-Am? :rolleyes:

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

Must be mis-print.. Good point Mr. Beard I forfeit!! LOL

See everyone there we have some new Chevy 's that have joined the Longhany family. We'll bring 2 Super Stocks and 2 Stocks to thre Rock!! Good luck to all and hope everyone has safe travel..

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

If you go to a NHRA race on Saturday night you will be spending $50 bucks going out to eat instead of racing.

Jeff, a CHEVY. Whats up with that?

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

Not just one Chevy. Eddie got a late model Camaro and Mike got a 69 Camaro. Can't beleive it myself!!

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

The weather now is calling for No rain on Sat. and 30% Late Sunday.
So the race should get in.Will be about like last year it did not rain untill Winner circle pictures where being taking.

Re: Schedule for Rockingham Division 9 Race!!!
 

In that case , i hope i will be getting wet ....lol
