what about a cic no brakeout at BG open ???

Jack McCarthy · 12-05-2011, 10:56 AM

any chance we can get dallas to let us run a CIC no brakeout race this memorial day weekend ??? friday night under the lights would be cool and get a few spectator to stay ?

cmon we need to get alan roehrich, jim schaechter, wilkersons...and all the locals involved and maybe nitroplate ???

sounds like fun...in fact we COULD have two divisions with winners face off... old school & new / distributor vs computer cars ????

just a thought !

Jack,
Currently a regular combo, as we ran last year, is on the table. We will be talking with Clay Jones at Bowling Green, who has been just incredible to work with, about our options for 2012.

Remember that the Open actually starts on Saturday, and some people can't make it until late Friday. But the idea has possibilities.

Jack, the biggest thing is selling this to 2 people, Dallas & Jay.
If you had sponsor money up front, that helps a bunch also.
Let me know.

Joe, the race would be Friday night, before the NHRA event, I'm not sure how much it would concern Jay, certainly no more than "test and tune", although maybe Travis would need to do tech.

When we ran Top Stock there, Jay had little, if anything, to do with it.

cmon guys this could be great, perfect location and home to the 1st ever sportsnationals

lets make this happen

Sounds like a great idea.
I wonder how much sponsorship $$$ it would take to pull something like this off ? (if the track goes along with it ?)

How about just sticking with the combo race like they did last year. It was a great race and had 98 cars!!! Why change it. More people will show up next year in my opinion since the race went well. Thanks to NitroPlate and Dallas and Clay Jones on supporting this race.

I agree. Although you might be a little biased, you did win it

Chad, not being biased, just being honest. Even if I lost first round, I would still support this race.

Jack, the reason the SportsOpen is successful is because it's a Saturday and Sunday race. That way racers don't have to use up vacation time from there jobs and are able to use those days for other events. Yeah it would be a fun race, but your not going to get the turn out and most guys wouldn't want to put three races on their motors in a weekend.
