John told me at Stockton swap that Super Stock rules won't change this year. Car count will probably still stink and be just the point chasers as they make you join even to run 1 or 2 shows. The good news is that has been reduced from $120 last year to only(?) $90 this year and will also be good for Merced.

We've run a few shows there every year and I almost gagged the first time we went last year and it cost my son and I $310 to get in to run for a couple hundred bucks to win. Don't think we'll be back this year unless they have an open show or so. Beware travelers!!

36Dfan, yep that's the deal. Started that stuff in 2010. They used to give you a one or two race grace period. For guys like us that aren't interested in points it isn't worth it. We like the track and most of the guys we run with down there but 120 miles each way to run for lousy pay that we always have to chase for a couple months to get takes the fun out of it. We travel quite a bit and sure don't expect to make money doing it. We stay closer to home other times and run for decent $ at Marysville or Chico, tracks that put your check in the mail by the following Wednesday. And Antioch wonders why they don't get more occasional racers like us.

Over4t,
Thanks for the info. Were the same way, like to travel and don't race for points or to make money but were also a team on a tight budget. I was hoping to run Antioch a couple of times with thier Late Model rules very close to Placervilles, catch it on a off night and I wouldn't have to change much to run but not at that price. Maybe will see in you Chico or at MRP at one of the opens. Have a great season.

Doug

36dfan, Don' know about membership fees for the non-regular classes at Antioch. If you're running a late model, vintage coupe, etc. that fee MAY not apply. Don't want to mislead anyone. Best bet is to call their office at 925/779-9220 and leave a message and see if you can find out.. The difficulty getting paid still applies. They normally pay the next time you come back, be it next week or next year. Same problem with Merced.
If you run a super stock best bet is Marysville with $500 to win and $100 to start. Have a good season.

I am excited and looking forward to the new season!! I think a super hobby class or street stock class will be awesome. There probably wouldnt be any reason why on a "off" night for hobby stock class thay couldn't bump up to race in the super hobby class. Some of the more experienced hobby drivers are good drivers, so they would probably do well even if they had tighter engine rules. Limited Late Models have their own class again. That should make for some faster racing.

The rule mystery continues?The website says limited late model and super hobby rules posted online but they are not on Antioch's website.Brad help us out here do the new rules have their own another site page?One other question is john mailing ticket request forms for the banquet to the drivers or are we supposed to just show up on 02/27/2011 at the door and buy tickets.Waldo speak to me!!!

Mike Adaskaveg is helping him get the website updated and there were a few issues on both the Antioch and Merced website. I spoke with Mike today and both websites should be updated soon.
