JUST RUN YOUR CAR WIDE OPEN!!!! (With in the rules of course)

(I think it would be a fun thing to sponsor,for myself as well as others!)

I think if WE as a group: (S/SS racers), stick together we will gain support
and our own following of fans with the combo races.

At Brainerd we have had good car count for a 1 day (Sat.) event.

(If we could have a 2 day it would be better)
But for now we are doing OK with it.
I think next year we may try to have a 2 day deal.

In some cases, such as a 2 or 3 day event, other races/classes are necessary. For the one day races, they are usually held in conjunction with some sort of regular program for the track.

It would be nice to have some sort of heads up off the index first one to the finish line wins racing as well, but that is hard to do, given those same cars will be in the combo, where the money is.

More likely is some sort of companion race, such as a S/G race, or possibly T/D or T/S. And we need to welcome such a companion race, it helps the track fill the stands and turn a profit, which they must do in order to remain in business.
