I copied this off another site, Pretty awesome !!



Here is a track owner that is doing some very unconventional things for the 2011 season. He started off last season with some interesting track promoter procedures also. Check this out.... free passes for racers.

Below is the entire posted announcement the track owner made.....

================================================== ====================


First we want to start by thanking each and every one of you for making 2010 one of the most succesfull years in GCS history. Great car counts, Great spectator counts and one heck of a good show week in and week out. We see no reason why attendance wont continue to rise as word gets out in the community about what we are doing and what an awesome show goes on every Sat night. With the support of you, our many new sponsors, and the surrounding race fans, we feel that we can offer the following package for the 2011 race year.

It is ambitious, it is expensive, and some might call it nuts, but in a time when many tracks are raising pit prices, having trouble staying open and losing consumers, we are taking the initiative to move forward, help the racers, and ensure increased attendance. We will push through the tough economic times and ensure that 37 years of racing wasn't a fluke. Welcome to 2011, the year things got even better at GCS.

We will need your help to pull this off. We need your neighbors, your coworkers and your relatives to pack the stands every night. We also need the racers in big numbers to help out. So make some calls, invite your buddies that havn't been racing, Help someone fix a car. WE ARE A TEAM!


1.Pay one pit pass race for free all year!

A.Drivers pay the standard $25 on first night.
B.For the remainder of the year, driver who raced the previous night gets in for free!
C.Miss a week, pay when you get back and you’re free until you miss again!
D.This is a free $625.00 in your pocket!
E.This will not apply to big shows.
F.If you are dq’d for the night for behavior of yourself or crew you will pay the returning week.
G.1 driver, racing multiple cars, pays 1 pit pass for additional car.
H.This is based on your great support last year. GCS reserves the right to cancel policy.

2.More rewards for attendance

A.We will buy a trophy for everyone who races 80% or more of the held events.
B.If that’s 1 per class that’s what we will buy, if that’s 25 per class then we buy 25.
C.If you run an IMCA class and run 80% of our events we will reimburse your IMCA license!
D.Perfect attendance receives GCS jacket.

3.GCS will sponsor your race team!

A.Cover your rear panel or left side quarter with “Follow me to Grayson County Speedway” and carry an 16” by 8” GCS oval logo on your passenger side to receive $20 bonus every time you place top 4! Classes with less than 10 cars will pay $5.
B.Have the sticker of your choosing 12” x 18” minimum on the back window of your tow vehicle for a chance to win one of 3 cash rewards every race night. On nights with over 70 cars racing, we will randomly pay out a $20, $40, and $75 cash prize by drawing names of those with the sticker. Be creative. Must include “Grayson County Speedway”, “Saturday Night” and “Bells, Tx”.
Examples “I risk my life every Sat at Grayson County Speedway in Bells TX. Come Cheer for me!” “On Saturdays I’m the villain at Grayson County Speedway in Bells TX” “Come watch me get screwed this Saturday at Grayson County Speedway in Bells TX” ……you get the point. Have fun, advertise, and get paid!

4.Championship Pay! ALL CLASSES PAY THE SAME!

A.Top 5 in points will receive Championship Pay at end of season
Average nightly class car count in your class times $100.00 = total class pay out.
Champion gets 50%, 2nd gets 20%, 3rd gets 15%, 4th gets 10%, 5th gets 5%
Example 20 car average- Champion gets $1000, 2nd gets $400, 3rd gets $300, 4th gets $200, 5th gets $100

First weekend of April is the target. No sence in battling the weather or in stretching the season longer for racers budgets.

Now he's promoting!

I say promoter of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see how well the promoter does this year before we declare him the best promoter of the year. Grayson County Speedway is a small country track without a large population base to draw into the front gate. This is the first year of these promotions for this promoter. He definitely has gotten some good press, but good press is not going to pay all of the bills. I question what his business model is and how he is planning on paying for his promotion.s

All this maybe true and I have no knowledge of the track or area!. It is just kind of refreshing to see a promoter even step out and take a chance like this. Hell around here, They seem to just jack the back gate price and in the end don't even pay a year end point fund to local racer's.
