Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

I've noticed it seems like every area of the country has a S/ss association that put on their own races except for the div 4 area.It would be nice to have a few more class races to go to yearly besides just the Divisional races and the two nats. Just wondering?

count me in!

Me too!

Well there is nothing like this out west as well.....and we could certainly benefit from having an association with which to participate. However, the one non-NHRA S/SS program I am aware of is lucky to get 10 cars on any given day. It won't be long until we will be reminiscing of the good old days when we could actually run these "legal" cars.

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

We would love to run their programs.....But always seem to conflict
with some other race we have to attend!

Maybe next year we will go to more if schedule permits,

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

It does appear the Superstock/stock association and/or racing thins out after division 3. Distance between race tracks out west could be a factor.
Many years ago when I lived in New York. I believe it was Dave LeBrun who ran a great Association. Correct me if wrong but we would pay a fee in the beginning. There would be a few tracks involved and there were points winners as there were race winner. Had some sponsors too. You nailed it Mark. The good ole days..

Happy Holidays!

I'll preface this with "I just sold my Stocker earlier in the year, so I don't have a dog in the fight at the moment." but...

One of the big things to consider is that the pockets of racers in D-4 are so spread out. It might be more ideal to just do the races in one central location that everyone can travel to in a reasonable amount of time (i.e. Dallas area).

A recent development that I see as a positive for an Association is that the D-4 schedule is now weighted towards the first half of the year, leaving the summer and fall to get races done. That way you don't run into the problem of having too many races in a short stretch of time.

The most important thing and biggest challenge is finding someone that is going to step up to lead that charge; which would almost certainly mean that individual stepping back from competing due to the time involved.

I would be willing to help this cause on some non D4 dates.
I worked at TXR about 4-5 yrs.race director,announcer,street legal director.ha e a little compulink experience (very little) I work pretty cheap. Let's get the ball rolling on this!

It sounds like a good idea, Bill. We would love more Texas or Louisiana races.

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

I count 14 stock/ super stock cars within 50 miles of No Problem Raceway that would be a good start

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

I'm in with 3 cars

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

Joe Teuton, Sid bonneccare, tom Gordon, Jeff Teuton, Sammy pizzolato, Sammy lusco, James Caro, Brett Cummings, slate Cummings, Larry Cummings, Brett candies, pb candies, country dog, country pup,Jared grainer, daughtey boys,Mike Bryant, sonny stancil,slim,troy domangue, Frank Teuton, charle Kimble, Doug fazzolare,Steve Kent, that's 25 cars off top of my head in division 4 that are 100 miles or less from no problem and baton rouge, also woody Gary, Hagen Gary, that makes 27 we should be able to set this up.

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

We're almost 200 miles out, but would come to NP or State Capital for some for sure. Being in South Alabama we've always run as much or more D4 than D2. Especially since Montgomery is done (for divisionals and opens). I'd also be willing to help out with the organization as well

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

Now that my junk is fixed and running I would be down too. I talked to Steven Hall and he liked the idea as well. Maybe have it at a couple of tracks as a traveling series?? I did hear that HRP (formerly royal purple was not keen to that kind of deal tho)Maybe San Antonio or Ennis... I'm sure other southeast TX racers would be up for it too. Emmons? Jerry Davis? JA Sherman? Holts? Tim Ames? Charles Brubaker? Jimmie Hutto? Todd Bailey? The Ford family? Im sure there are LOTS of others too!
Should bring it up on Facebook and get more feedback...

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

If 1/8 mile could be considered, would open up more possible locations. Ardmore Okla would be fun.the owner Will Carrel runs AA/SA in a 69 Chevelle.

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

Also Consider Pine Valley Raceway too... Maybe attach it to a Nostalgia Event or some other "Spectator" type draw to increase attention to our sport. Like I said if this is serious it should be on Facebook with its own page. Combo series like these may be the future of our sport if NHRA keeps up their current agenda.
Now we need to secure sponsors , car count and a venue and let the fun begin!

Also I would be willing to help when and where I can in organization of this..

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

Glad to see at least people are talking about this . Maybe something will come out of this talk. Sharon and I would be running with our two stockers for sure.

Re: Stock/Superstock association in Div 4 area.
 

Just a thought, reach out to Midwest Class Racers and Heartland S/SS for how they have been so successful. The payouts are fantastic! 2 races in 1 weekend, and entry no where near the cost of a divisional. These races are run professionally and quite often. We have better car counts than most divisional races.

Good luck
