Awsome, looks like it should be a great car count. I hope some guys from victorville, perris and up north can make it out too.

Craig...... It's $1500 to win. That's a fair entry that is consistant with other payouts.
This is a great opportunity for a Hobby that's been running for +-$300 (?) to win all year.

Thanks.... also the Bud jacket and a lifetime of bragging rights are priceless.

I need a bigger BUD jacket.

In all fairness, getting sponsership for a DLM event and a Street stock event probably present a whole different set of surcomstances(sp). No offence meant but the draw just isn't there of this type of car.

I think SS are only one night so they have a Headliner main event on Fri. to help draw the crowd on Fri. night.

The one night format leaves room for the Friday night partying and no worry about racing with the hangover on Sat. It's a great plan. I think they had me in mind when they came up with the idea.

Hey Lee, as one who has consumed frostys with you on the hill I say go kick some butt on Friday and let's pound some frostys on Saturday!  Hooorah!

Why??--They don't sell beer down there.

I think some of the stuff going on during the middle of the year took some of the wind out of the sails for the LM and SS in reguards to "Big Shows."  The two classes got to experience new and fresh ideas presented to them not only in race formats but payouts as well. I'm still waiting for tracks to adapt a logical format that rewards "the field," for their entertainment, not the nose. I still think a payout like:  

1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 150, 150

looks better than

1500, 1000, 600, 400, 300, 250, 175, 150, 150, 150, 150,

If tracks cant afford it maybe its time to hire a sales team that gets X% of what they sell.  I mean a professional sales team, not someones crew chief walking around the parts houses.  I don't think that you gotta give the drivers lotto winning, just show payouts with even distrubution that show the tracks appreciate ALL the drivers involved, not just the guys on the tech pad.

"Open Comp Show"
Driver pitpass = 150
3 crew pitpass = 120
Fuel 50

320 -  5th back is a net loss.

(Not included)

fuel for tow - 50 (conservative)
Two day shows which includes hotes, and double pit passes for crew.

So basically, for the 4 cars that got any kind of reward, the other 30 cars just took a loss.  Leaving a race track holding your ersh is never a good feeling.
