My wish list kind looks like this
A nice track in Ohio
Indy
Englishtown
Pittsburgh
Martin Michigan / Milan
Englishtown is probably more of a stand alone event from
The stand point that much west of Pennsylvania would not make that trip except for the diehards. it would still be on the points series but I really would be looki g at a completely different group of people to attend that event.
I wont even drive my rig thru Pennsylvania with the
way they act towards trailers... I dont need any major
dollar tickets
I would like to see
Indy
Norwalk (or any good track in Ohio)
US131 or Route66
I like the idea of the BBQ and band and the ladies,
need to make it more like the tuner guys have or
the drifter guys (something different) and possibly
a 4 day event for those that travel farther, and MUST
be able to stay at the track

How about no reaction times on the boards and not even on the time slips. Just et and speed. Now thats old school.

Im with you on making it fun in a lot of different ways...you guys should come check out a friday night rage next year, which will be on Saturday this year it did so well. I have a lot to do with that event, drifters, bikini contest, cheap beer, band/dj, all heads up racing and growing index classes GO BUY A DIAPER ITS GONNA BE AN NHRA RULE ANYWAY (yes my favorite tranny guy thats for you)
But, what I cant have is the same 200 cars racing the same bracket race, the same way at 5 tracks.....
THAT does not work, so we have to look at places a little further away to keep the excitement up.

Well my 2 cents,,is I not driving more than 8 hr don't care what it's pay's I like less than 6 hr's. I really like 4 hr trips.
Big money at the top takes away from the bottom..I think 1500-2000 is plenty to win a race. 1000-1500 would not hurt my feeling. if it pay back good..final 4 for 50 bucks just burns my butt ! That would be my number 1 complaint about the other series . season end champs win 1500-2000. next year gold card- jacket -trophy. I don't like driving in Pennsylvania But I go to Pittsburgh.
Norwalk I can tell you that if there was no mo-power..deal there still be a mopar race there..I think they seal the deal on that..it is one of their best races..
Would like to see a "TRUE" foot-brake class,,no trans brakes, no throttle controls/2 steps. etc....just the car/driver, and their skills..
well Do I need to add to this ? This is how we race..I like to see the rest of them race like this..I am very proud to say we take out all them button pushing whimps.! LOL there I said it !!
Two big mopar races in back to back wknds is NO good. I agree.
I love Martin, MI. great track !
And I will follow B.G around LOL

There already is a footbrake class, it is Sportsman, 11.50 and up 1/4 mile.
To be willing to travel 8-10 hours would take a decent payout for the points champs. That makes it worthwhile to attend all the races. You are going to need sponsors, points numbers sales, and maybe skimming $10 off each entry to put into a points fund. A jacket and a gold card to the champs, too.
One time JJ had a race of champions at Indy, prizes were all sponsor donations.
I like one race per month, May, June, July, Sept., Indy, Columbus, Summit, Gateway.

I have thought of both of those tracks and they are not 1/4 mile tracks, and for a lot of racers in the pro and super pro classes as well as others, it is just not worth their time to run 1/8th mile.
