Just to clarify a few things. I am perfectly happy with the way the rules are now. I am just trying to become uniformed across this great land of ours so if you want to get into this deal here in the south you can buy a car in New England/Midwest/Plains/Texas and be legal to race without ANY modifications or visa-versa...
The reason I put my e-mail wasn't for you not to post here but for myself and the other D-2 division officials/owners can put it all together and compare that shared data...I have received about 4 spread sheets on engines mods and several do's and don'ts. That is what I was looking for.
I trust races to give their honest opinion about what is good for the sport and help to curtail the cost along with more efficiency of engines and keep the series rules competitive. Thanks for all that has posted and all that will post....please try to keep a focus on the the task at hand..
Unlike most series I have put this on a public open forum to seek knowledge from your experience but please understand this is Division II racing and not ARDC/USAC/POWRi National midget racing where most have an unlimited budget. Not saying you can't come to race D-2 with an unlimited budget as long as you comply by the rules. We just are trying to keep said rules and racing affordable for a guy that is a welder/framer/hired farmer, even a part time college student or a lawn maintenance person. We all love to race and with the right rules package I want to make sure everyone gets the opportunity to.
Some do not care what it pays cause they are there for the trophy. But then some needs all they can get to help pay for their addiction that we all on here have. This is one of the thing I would like to see happen for all that take on the Division II rules is payout... A fair and balanced payout...this is my weekly payout for the SSMS:
1. 300
2. 175
3. 150
4. 150
5. 150
6. 150
7. 125
8. 125
9. 125
10. 125
11. 100
12. 100
13. 100
14. 100
15. 75
16. 75
17. 75
18. 75
19. or more...Complete restructure of purse with money $$$ added....
THIS IS A GUARANTEED PURSE!!!
As you see it is not top laden and I try to make sure everyone get at least a little portion of the the pie and not just a few.... we SSMS have a big show coming up in August 21-22 and payout
1st $400
2nd $300
3rd $250
4th $225
5th $200
6th $190
7th $180
8th $170
9th $160
10th $150
11th $145
12th $140
13th $135
14th $130
15th $125
16th $125
17th $125
18th $125
19th $125
20th $125
With 19 or more there will be a min. of $600 more dollars added and we will pay $500 to win but the rest will go to the middle and back. I fill with this concept it will do 2 things....keep the super teams away and allow other racers to afford to come race
So again please share your thoughts and opinions but try, I really would like you to try not to post negativeness toward anyone or any post...probably
on that but I tryed ... for you the racer
