Bracket racing payout

JRyan · 03-08-2011, 11:21 PM

John,
They may not be the best payouts. However, the 17-32 car payout is the same as Oahe no matter what their count is. Granted it cost an extra $20 to enter. But, if you have 33 or more cars then it's double of Oahe and if they do a good job with the track I'd think most weekends they should be able to get close to that 33 number. I know years back when we used to run there a lot it was almost always a six round race. Besides, at least one weekend you'll be running the S/SS combo right?

Rick that is the plan assuming I can finish getting things changed in time. I built a 255hp small block so I need to get the gears swapped still I don't think the 4:30s would work very well with the small block. I have had three shoulder surgery's in the last couple of years so things are going slow and am heading to Denver to the rehab hospital for a week the beginning of June. But I am trying hard to get it ready for that.

They did do one thing I really like there are no buy backs. But they will have a second chance race (not positive if that is what they call it) That any first or second round losers can get in on.

There may be some hope. I checked there site today and the pay out is now removed and this message is up.

Payouts currently under review, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Please check back soon for the updated payout break down.

Thank you,
Charlie

Here at Gainesville, pro and super pro run off for the money, it doesn't get any cheaper than that! To a footbrake racer it's just insulting, so I race elsewhere.

Where do you race at? Douglas, SGMP, Sunshine? Just wondering, I live in Jacksonville, so I am in between a couple tracks. Thanks.

We were at the bracket finals one year. A racer told us he had his best year ever he had won 10 races and a little over $3,000 for the year Footbraking. I was amazed. I had won 1 race that paid that much. I asked him where he was from. He said Florida. They raced 1/4 mile too. I could'nt beleive those tracks got away with that little payout.
We are spoiled in the Carolinas, and the racers don't realize it.

The 1/4 tracks here are Gainesville,Orlando,Bradenton and the old Moroso, now PBIA. Raced for years at Moroso, decent payout, Bradenton and Orlando are dead cheap,$300-$400 footbrake win money

I did a season at SGMP,pro winner and sportsman champion, I won $850 for the season.

I'm ready to build a 330' track in my back yard!

Never Mind they re posted pretty close to the same thing with a little quarter money added to the high car counts. Mostly in the form of a free entry. The top money did not get any better.

I'm surprised more people haven't chimed in, you must be happy to just show up and donate money, track owners like that attitude
