There is obviously a bunch of very intelligent and talented promoters out there who know exactly the way these things should be ran. after all it's so easy to work a full time job run a household and just put on a little event for everyone's enjoyment. and what makes it even more rewarding is for everyone to appreciate it as much as they do. so with that being said let's start a list of guys on this forum who are willing to put up a hundred grand of their own money to show the rest of us just how easy it . please start your list of names here we are all very anxious to attend your event.
Well for starters, Greg Dillman, Michael Beard and Steve Stites are all members of this forum and have all run successful bracket racing events such as the No-Box Nationals and the Footbrake Frenzy. These guys started out as racers and began promoting races run the way they wanted to see them run instead of going the way of NHRA and greedy track owners.
I stated on here about a year ago that if someone wanted to promote a successful Mopar series of races they should go to the Jegs US Open or the Tenn-Tuck and pay attention to how they are running it. The best races are the ones run by racers for racers. Often times they get an overflow number of entries and they INCREASE the payout.

The best "races run by racers" are those that are promoted well and often. Dillman, Beard, and Stites, along with Anthony Walton, Jared Pennington, the Biondos, etc., spend a lot of time securing sponsors, updating websites (almost to the minute) appearing on different message boards regularly, always making sure that racers know what to expect. Look at the flyers put out, most will list a minimum number of entries to pay the advertised payout, round prizes, etc. It is a LOT of work for an independant promoter to put on a race and be sucessful at it. I know that none of these guys are getting rich from being promoters. Be patient and be respectful when asking questions, and you will get that back...usually.  Hope to some of you at VMP this weekend!

Seeing , watching, listening, way to many issues lack.of.dedicated tracks for what ever the reasons,.
Lack of any information, promoting questions unanswered.with a smug response,.from anyone in.the series.
The MMW event is far far removed of anything it once was
Good luck to those who run it , and to those who endure .
Dennis it's obvious from your posts that you have had sour grapes since MMW was sold/left st. louis! 
It's also obvious that you think scott s.(s&s)is the best thing since hemisherical combustion chambers.
So where is your super promter? 
The latest event that was rumored to be coming to st. louis is not happening. 
I think the current MMW weekend staff is trying to put on good events.
Let's cut him some slack while he is regrouping from the Indy problem.
This is MY view of this. Hoping that they fail will not help st. louis get another BIG event.
Don
Let me set you straight fast quick n in a hurry
I could completely care less of specialty races, ie loyalty branded,
I race them because #1 I want to , not that I have to.
#2 I would rather have regular bracket races every weekend at all the tracks .
#3 as for Scott ,ska, Ss promotion, don't know , do not care !
It's has been my opinion , only mine,,, that no info little info
And given the issues of past tracks issues and now new. Issues ,
Total lack of any respected answers without being called somekind of name , or derogatory statement is the norm from this promoter, sad but true,.
I can see why I want just regular races instead of having to gullet all the be put out
By others ,
I wish all that run ithe MMW series the best. !
As for GMP, let's just race ,don't have time for drama filled events

Josh would probably be a little more receptive if he didn't get the hell beat out of him every time he came on here, remember Moparts is not the end all be all of the mopar world and all this in-fighting will get us all nowhere and when he get's all his information together and the plans are set then we will know. as for the money from Indy, I am goiing to wait and see how he rectify's this, if he does then fine, if he don't then maybe my loyalty will move on, even as I type I am owed a $90.00 entry fee that was canceled last year when I transferred my entry from the Mopower event at Columbus to Kanawha Valley, thats money I am sure I will never see again. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

First of all what does the money someone puts into their car have to do with the money they pay to race?? 2 different subjects. Second when they paid their $75 to race they expect something for their hard earned money-if you have $75 to just throw away then good for you, BUT everyone who paid was told they would get a free entry to the same event this year, not by their mothers but by the promoter himself so why is it a friking crime to inquire about said promise?? There is not even going to be an Indy event this year so what becomes of the carry over, no mention of it,and very little communication if any so yes there are questions not being answered. I dont have a dog in this fight but it gets very annoying when some people think its ok to just say "oh well screw it I didnt need that money anyways" They paid to race they expect to get whats owed to them 
it is not a crime to ask but when something happens that is you cannot control then you do the best you can to accomodate. as far as the cost of the car build my point was $75.00 was pennies on the dollar im sure you missed that part. if you dont have the $75.00 to race what are you doing racing anyway and btw a good weekend will cost in upwards of at least $500.00 depending on how far you travel. i go because i want to see my freinds and do a little racing not to cry about the $75.00 that i didnt have to spend to start with.

I did not say anything about 75.00 dollars nor did I pi$$ or moan about anything. There is a hell of a lot more to it than 75 misley bucks, you would know what I was talking about if you actually won anything at a MM event. I'm not one to piss and moan and cry I'm just one who will not be attending anymore monster mopar events for reasons that are my business not yours.
In closing all I said was I will be attending the Jeff Johnson event and joked about getting a free duck call, do not include me in with anyone else be it good or bad.
God made cold beer,good friends,hot ladies and race cars don't spit in his face by pi$$ing and moaning about how life sucks!!!

there wasnt anything said.. thats all your wrong mike i DO GET IT my reply was to the other people that were making statements. and ya if i were to lose $75.00 it really wouldnt bother me it would be the same to me as going out before you in the money rounds. but different people have different views and appearently ther are those that dont like what i have to say so keep flaming away.
