Re: .90 Nationals @ Numidia - June 9th, 2012
A few of you have asked about the "Top 32 Shootout" that we are offering on Friday Night. If many of you remember back in day at Divisional Events for a small fee Division 1 would put together a shootout for the Top 8 or 16 Qualifiers at each event and they would have a small race later on at night. I'm pretty sure that D-3 still does something similar to that. Since we will not be qualifying on Friday the way the "Shootout" will work is at 3pm the day of the Test & Tune I will make an announcement over the PA system that anyone who would like to sign-up for the event to please meet me at the base of the tower and we will settle up there. Once the 32 drivers are paid ($75.00) and on the list the class is closed for the night. I would love to expand it to a larger field but, the Stk/SS guys are running a CIC Race that Night and Numidia has a Friday Night Street Program which, if you've never been there on a Friday Night you would think it was a National Event as the stands are packed. Those events start at 6pm and I will try to have at least 1 round completed by that time. Time will dictate if I will be allowing a time shot beforehand so it will be important to get a few shots in at the Free Test & Tune from 12-4. The winner of the Top 32 Shootout will pocket $1,000 to start off their weekend and the Runner-Up will pocket $500.00 and we will pay back till the 3rd round loser.
As far as the race itself on Saturday June 9th, we plan on getting started early at 9am with Stock, then into Super Gas till we give all 5 classes 2 time shots so hopefully eliminations will kick off around 2-3pm with Stock. Remember it is still random pairings for 1st round and we will basically be pulling from random lanes so everyone needs to be on their toes. The pre-entry is still at $170.00 till May 6th (Atco Open) then it will go to $190.00 after that and at the gate. As Lee & Brian have said "You Support it, I'll pay it" so the plan is $5,000 for 85 cars each class but, if we get more then that I'm willing to up the purse. Remember I'm not in this fight to make money for myself but, as long as I can cover my cost's for items I'll be glad to pay it back to the racers. So tell you friends, pass the flier out to anyone you may know and get those entries in ASAP.
Also the racers BBQ is coming together very well and should be a great time for all and of course if you want to stay on Sunday Numidia will be offering up a Summit Equipment Bracket Race that could pay up to $2,500 to the winner. Last but, not least Numidia will be playing host to their 2nd annual "Superbucks in the Hills" the following weekend on June 15th to 17th which will pay either $5,000 or $10,000 to the winners in Super Pro.
So far we are at:
Super Comp: 12
Super Gas: 25
Super Street: 11
