World Doorslammer Nationals STK/SS Combo
Light turnout. What does this say about racing for $$$$$ vs a Wally?

Re: World Doorslammer Nationals STK/SS Combo
SCHEDULING IS EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t ever UNDERESTIMATE the ALLURE of a WALLY ........Many times an OLD, RETIRED racer is not necessarily attracted to a LARGE purse ...

Re: World Doorslammer Nationals STK/SS Combo
Well all i have to say is, i was one of the 23, "i think" that supported this race, First off yes entry was $500.00 and they dropped it to $350.00,for 10 GRAND, I had stuff to test, so i came here, for the $350.00 that included 1 day of testing, 3 Q runs, yea don't have to lift at the 1000', don't worry about that 1.00 sec. and getting it flagged, or 1.20 instant hp on Monday and tear down and maybe a 1 year vacation. Also i want to Thank Richard Freeman and Wes Buck for putting this race on, and the assume BBQ last night and the track for getting the track ready after the rain and continuing Q runs on Sat. i know we don't do this for the money, but it sure help's Monday morning,lol, so i hope some of you people will support the Southern Sportsman race in Adel, in 2 weeks, there will be no HP added to your index there, just a good time, hope to see yea all there and good luck chasing Wally and the couple grand. Drive fast and be safe. Brian

Re: World Doorslammer Nationals STK/SS Combo
Putting this race up against a points meet and having the racer have to choose one over the other is clearly not the answer, especially 100 miles apart.
Walk through the pits and just look at the truck and trailers and you know the Stock and Super Stock guys are not racing for $. When NHRA lowers the quotas even more and has a grade 9 and grade 10, maybe then everyone crying about how stupid NHRA is for not taking all entrants at a national event will see the way NHRA is thinking. The NHRA event is a draw because of the people there. If you could have an association race with ALL the classes from Top Alcohol down to super street, live TV coverage (Warren Evans style), DRC reporting results, a grade point (lol) and a chance to get your pic in their monthly publication with a trophy (wally), then you stand a chance. Forcing the racer to choose was simply a lose/lose for both the racer and the promoter. |

Re: World Doorslammer Nationals STK/SS Combo
Mr Gator, it was not there mine deal, for putting this race on top of the baby gators, with them doing the Pro Stock and Pro Mod race , no better place to run it, , 23 cars and they still paid the full payout. Ya the rig's are bigger, but i still race for the dollar, being retired for 6 yrs, this money will go a long way for getting my new bracket car ready, Trust me these promoters will try again next year, and i will support them , where is your car completing this weekend. Thanks again Wes Buck and Richard Freeman for the great support and race. Thanks Brian Oakes
