Ok, so I have to put my 2 cents in on the subject and see what everyone thinks. Now I agree with Jim that a 3 day sportsman type race would be great and it would be all about the sportsman racer but, you have associations that are out there that are not NHRA in D-1 that already do this. You have Dave Ley's EC Stock and Super Stock, MASGA and now the Super Comp Series is back. Most of these series already have a 2 day race within a race for the sportsman guy. They run 2 races in a weekend to cut down on the cost of towing, you get 2 time shots on both days and then go into 1st round not, 2 time shots on a Thursday when it's 95 degrees out and then you run 1st round on a Friday at 8am and 55 degrees out. June 5th and 6th you have Super Gas and Super Comp at Atco a week before the National at E-Town. I'm sure Joe would allow you to leave your trucks and trailers at the track till Wednesday. July 10th & 11th at Maple Grove it's almost like a National Event for sportsman guys, with S/G and S/C Sat and Sun, Stock and Super Stock on Sunday. MASGA is at Cecil the week before the D-1 Race and the S/C Series is at Maple Grove that same weekend which is a quick hour, hour and half drive to Cecil. The one thing to remember is you don't have to join the points to run these races, everyone is welcomed ( I mean we've had a dude from California run the past 2 MASGA Races at Cecil). What I think we should really do is have someone look into forming a Super Street Series in this area (I know they have a successful one up in upstate N.Y. but thats a drive). Set the series up, Piggy back it onto the Super Comp and Super Gas Series and bam you have a .90 weekend type series. If it's payout that your worried about talk to the guys who run the series, I'm sure Tom Boyle and Lucky are not going to push you away if you have a suggestion. They try there best to keep the entry fees to a decent minimum so your not having to take out a 2nd mortgage on your home to race and to be honest with you the payouts are not that bad for a 32 car race. The more cars we get the better the payout.

Just my .02 cents
