The new BIR payout

Mike Casteel · 03-03-2011, 01:41 PM

Now you see Travis, it pays more to bracket race your car than run it in Stk/ SS so come on over and run with us lowly racers.

Ron--I don't get your attitude, but whatever. I'm just trying to make this sport better than what it has been. I just have a different opinion on how to do it. Right, Wrong, or Indifferent I'm not going to change.

I plan on it Mike. The Chevelle is almost all freshened and ready to go.

Please, (Travis) first stop and think about this, we are in the most geographically challenged area
for drag racing in the country for the number of tracks in close proximity, second this is a
nationwide forum and the only people complaining about the payout at combo races in
the country are ding ding ding (YOU) and (RON ZENZEN) again please (THINK) about it!

Ron Zenzen 5402 · 03-03-2011, 02:32 PM

Just wondering, who raced the second day of the two day raced last year?? I didnt like No Qual run but did it anyway. Joe? Kerby? Ron?

5919 SSKA · 03-03-2011, 02:53 PM

I doubt any of you will miss me if I'm there or not.
If your happy the way the payout has been in the past (prior to this season), then good for you...I haven't been, and that's why I have stayed away from racing the BIR combos. I am happy there is a direction with BIR and the committee.

Get 33 cars to show, this can work...if not, it's not going to be worth it with out some sort of guaranteed payout. You just won't get the cars to show (case in point as Mr. Mattson pointed out---demographics) for a 1-day race. And in 2012 S/SS at BIR will be no more.

It effects me VERY little, as I will gladly bracket race my Chevelle.

Together on another thread, we brainstormed over 70 S/SS racer's names from MN alone. Why have only 16 to 24 been showing up? If that issue get's solved, all this blah, blah, blah bickering will stop.

What payout would it take to get more guys to show up? You can't tell me 1200.00 bucks to win is bad, that isn't a lot less then a national event pays. One big reason to show up is to support a race that is being put together by another racer. That's the biggest reason I asked Glen about the sponsorship deal and believe me I have plenty of other things I could spend the money on! So instead of everybody arguing about this, that, and the other thing just come out and race, I know I will when I get my car done.

Didnt know I was unhappy. Just saying how it was before. Did you know I was at BIR the whole Haunted Hey Ride weekend Helping out. Sitting with the owners Fri and Sat nite trying to save S & SS, Saying that there should be a group of people to rep the classes? Now you say I should go to Fargo to race. No, I didnt save the world but I tried. Where were you? Think Im against this? No, just want it right for everyone. Dont want me there? Thats OK too.

MEXJOE · 03-03-2011, 02:35 PM

Lets stay cool here now boys.
We can’t get where we need to be if we all don’t
work together. This should be FUN !
Not a place to bitch at each other.
This payout is not etched in stone nor is there
any reason to get upset.
I have got the BIR combo races a sponsor.
Eric Kitzan Trucking Of Glen Ullin ND.
Has committed !!!ON HIS OWN WITH OUT ANYONE ASKING HIM!!!
to A $500 SPONSORSHIP
for the 5 combo races at BIR. ($100 EACH RACE)

I would like to thank Eric from myself and all that will attend the races a BIG Thank You!

Now we don’t know how we are going to divide it up and put it in to the pay-out.

I am thinking $75 for the winner $25 r/u.EACH RACE

Myself and Ron Prince are going to set up a payout plan
from 16 - 32 cars
and get it approved by BIR.
I will then post it for you all to see!
Thanks!
Glen DeMENGE

I am working hard to keep this going in the right direction
Please work with me here we need to stay positive!!!
Thanks again!

MEXJOE · 03-03-2011, 03:30 PM

Hay Mike
How is it going?
I think quite a few of the stocker guys may do just that.
On another note:
NO ONE HERE EVER SAID BRACKET RACERS ARE LOWLY!
You know good and well I raced in brackets with my old car.
And now that I am getting a handle on my new one I will again.
See you in staging!
By the way:
YOU ONLY HAVE 64 DAYS LEFT UN-TILL THE BIR OPENER
So.... get your cars ready lets GO RACE AND HAVE SOME FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!
See ya!
