Hello All.
I had talked with Royce brifly last year about getting a couple index classes started at Maryland International Raceway last year.
I got started so late it was hard to make it happen, so here we are in Oct 2011 trying to get something going for the 2012 season.
I need some input, Should we run 9.90 S/G, S/R & 10.90 S/ST, HR under current NHRA/IHRA rules. With delay boxes, throttle stops ect...
Or should we run a 9.00 index on .400 tree & 10.00 index on a .500 tree with no throttle stops. Allow the use of Trans Brakes & delay boxes but no electronic or air type thortle stops.
You all know Royce needs to make his money on this deal to, which we had talked about $30 TT type entry Paid at the gate. Then we would collect our own entry fee and pay out our own purce. Now the question is what should that entry be? $50. $60 or what.
Pay out would be based on # of entries Example 16 cars at $50 each is a $800 payout.
Winner $400, RU $200, Semi's $100 each. Of course more entry equal higher payouts.
These races would be run on Saturdays, say once a month. Could do it twice a month if it really took off, by racing Sundays too.
First time run say at 2 PM, second say at 3PM and elimanation at 4 PM. That way each racer would get 2 time runs, and then start elimanations within an hour of the 2nd time run. This way all racers should be able to get in that nights bracket race to.
Last but not least should we try and have a overall season points payout? If so how should we go about achiving this? Everybody pay in a certian amount at the beginning of the season ? Say $50 or $75 bucks. Maybe also add $5 bucks to the entry and add this to the season end Championship payout?
Again the more interest we can generate, the higher the payout can be, and the bigger the year end Championship payout can be.
Can we get a series sponcer? Anybody got any idea's.
