Great to see "GUARANTEED Payouts"

The Hemi / Max Wedge combo should be interesting

"No Transbrake" for the hemi cars according to the rules

True it will be interesting. Sounds like they are gearing more toward the max wedge guys. Everyone will have to see what happens. Our daughter will be racing the Hemi/Max Wedge class this year. Hope the guys don't mind she was given an offer she could not refuse.

Change is good but there were alot more issues then just guaranteed payouts - how about respect for the racers/swap/and show folks. Some people were banned from these events because of what they may have said about the events or reccomended for the events or even competed against the event and that makes no sense. I can also attest to the attitude that was given when questioned about payouts or anything else concerning the rules I'll probably attend a couple to see what if any changes have been made but as of right now I do not have all of these events on my calander

IF I do the math correctly, they are losing money on the quick 16. Pay out is win $1500, RU $750 and semis $100 twice for a total of $2450 payout. 16 entries at $115 each only equals $1840. So the promoters are paying out $610 to make this race happen. I don't have a quick 16 car, but it Seems preety generous to me on the pay out. What am I missing?

$1000 w
$500 R/U
$250 semi
$100 entry / includes extra spectator
$100 bonus low qualifer

KK quick 8 race:

http://kilkare.com/2013%20Files/PDFS/Q8F.pdf

$1500 w
$750 R/U
$250 semi
$100 entry

Both races are less than 70 miles from home.

OK, I knew I was forgetting something as it did not add up in my head. The Kilkare race seems to be a lot better payout. Is it the same weekend?

I don't care who the promoter is, I always look forward to going up there and spending the weekend. I'm glad it's still afloat.

That's the way we look at it. Always a good time being with race family and racing friends. who really cares who the promoter is as long as your have fun enjoying what you love to do. Over the years this has turned into a family hobby we look at it as our family sport. I just knew no one would really put the post out there for them Was happy to see the payouts are better then in the past.
