Saw quite the array of racers, Randi Lynn Butner, Jason McCandless, Spencer Massey, Dave Connoly, and the usual heavy hitters of the bracket world.

Hello Ron, all I have to say is what promoter in their right mind would put their time and effort into a race that will not yield a profit. Michael Beard tried, BOLD promotions (Bo, Jason L., Dave C.) tried, and Tyler Bohannon tried ……With that said, Tyler B. has another Stock/ Superstock race scheduled August 4-6 in Madison, Illinois ….

Thanks MJ, BOLD Promotions, that's who it was. I was hoping that would have continued this or next year somewhere down south a little. Don't know what the profit margins are, but that new thing with SFG says otherwise.

BOLD promotions lost $$$ dealing with Stock/Superstock racers …..On the other hand, SFG makes $$$ dealing with ( ) racers. TWO DIFFERENT CROWDS ……

They both pay money to race.
They both put a number on the car.
They both go down the track.
How are they different.

Win $50,000
R/U $20,000
Semi $7,500
1/4 $4,000
7th Rd $2,500
6th Rd $2,000
5th Rd $1,500
4th Rd $1,000
3rd Rd $500

Entry $999. 3 days @ $50,000 + $20,000 warm up race, that is 4 events per week

What does a National event that takes 4 days pay out? What is the entry fee?
Tell me again why it won't work for Stk SS.

Simply because the majority of the class racers that whine about not having a big money race don’t show when there is one. When one comes up, the excuses start flying. They just don’t show.

Those big payouts are dependent on buybacks and double entries. Most Stock and Super Stock racers don't like buybacks including myself.
Then,if you don't have heads up races,half the people wouldn't show up.
If you have heads up races,the other half would not show up.
If you have more than 128,people would complain it's too easy to qualify.
