I have been thinking about this for a while now trying to make sure I make a decision that doesnt put me in a financial head lock and at the same time I want to make sure that everyone that comes has plenty of racing to do.

Like mentioned above I was going to run a gamblers race on Saturday. I could easily split up Sundays prize money and hold 2 races, or I could see if racers wanted to pay an extra entry to hold a race saturday and sunday. Those things didnt appeal to me as they appear to be getting into the racers pocket, so I came up with this....

Box and no box race on Saturday with 100% payout to the racers. The entry fee was going to be 40 bucks, so I figured if I had 100 racers in each class that wanted to participate we would have some serious coin to race for on Saturday. Understand my biggest concern is getting into the pockets of the racers more than they feel comfortable, but at teh same time I want everyone to feel like the weekend was a blast

You guys can flame away on those ideas

hey josh, i dont even want to try to tell you what to do or how ,
i personaly would hold a shootout style race on sat, with a very nice 100 % pay out, the idea would be to make this the biggest and best M M W would could have,most these guys going to stay the 3 days at least, so make it as WILD as you can for us, if youre going to be reserved in the show,, then the racers will be reserved as well!
we all know what the cost are, if most these guys are spending the weekend let race for money, prizes and such!!
as for me not about money,, about the love of the sport, competition !!
MONSTER MOPAR IS 1 WEEKEND A YEAR,
keep up the great work youre doing josh, !!
and for keeping our tradition going for us,

home run here-that is what the guys I run with want-it may still be a gamblers race but now if it box/no box makes almost everyone a little happier from my stand point-mmw means different things to everyone-i missed only 1 because my dad was ill-in 2008 when heilman won-I crewchiefed for him and when he wins,I am not there.hard on me but my dad was ill.I believe joshs heart /head are in the right place to take mmw to the next level,with help from mick and his crew.all suggestions cost money and the way I see it if he makes this happen,it should sit well with many folks.thanks josh-rick

Any races that pays back 100% will have all your serious regular racers lining up to do battle. If i was closer I would be in for sure.

I am in but everyone on here that knows me knows I will buy in till I am broke. Bottom line is that if there is a three day race then it makes financial sense to have more shots at making some money to offset your expenses. After hotels, fuel, and food $40 is a drop in the bucket. I dont think 100 cars is a stretch at all in Pro. Thats 4000 to split up. Do a 40% to win 20% RU 10% for semis 5% for 1/4's. Thats 1600/800/400/200 In my opinion that would be outstanding to see a guy make it to 8 cars and get $200. I think that helps alleviate the "I gotta make it to 4 cars to get any money" that alot of gamblers races have. Heck even if only 50 cars got in thats still $100 at 8 cars.
If it comes down to less than 8 cars at the 1/4's you could keep the coin or you could market yourself as a super promoter and give extra to the guys that are still in.

I agree with Eric 100% and if you have first round buybacks the purse just goes up. Anybody that can not afford an extra $40.00 needs to find a new hobby.

Ok now i'm getting more interested ,many of us been talking not to dis on the new format but to say not worth the drive to sit and t/t for 3 days .
Most over this way know i race at least 3 class's so idle time is not best for me .
So are the street class guys going to be able to race in the no box class SAT ?

Josh not looking for you to take a hit ,but the gambles race needs to be added in the MMW website now so others can make a better discision .
Now what about a Friday gamblers
Hell we got 6 hotel rooms already

There will be a Gamblers race on Friday as well! I am having all of this info posted on the main website so people can see it.

My first year, these ideas and decisions are sometimes slow going, but I know I only have one chance to impress my customer....ie all of you
