Gary,
It is a good theory and always sounds good on paper. I mean the way Atco is able to pay out the payouts during the Mitchell and Stalba races is the "buybacks" after 1st round and the money the sponsors put up. I mean if there was a way Jim could pitch the theory to someone like Jegs or PC Richards or another big company about what he wants to do it may work. This way you kind of keep the entry fee's down and more low-buck racers will be able to afford it and show up. The sad part is Super Gas only draws 60 to 70 cars per D-1 Race and National Events on the East Coast (The rest of the field is D-2 or D-3 Cars) and A LOT of S/G drivers have sold their cars for Dragsters cause they can Bracket Race and S/C race and be competitive in both classes. I mean I know it's only a National Open and this year they did away with points and it's way early in the year for people to be ready but there was 30 S/G cars at Atco and not many more S/C and Super Street Cars. Now it's either a sign that people are getting tired of NHRA or are just finding better things to do with there money. I hope Jim can work something out and something comes from this but, everyone needs to be on board and riding the same train.
