While making laps today in the grader I came up with a idea. Tell me what you all think.
I was grading dirt up from the very bottom of the track, the service road if you will, and as I kept bringing up more dirt from down there And as I got about 70 feet up from the bottom I thought hmmmm, we should have a race down there, it measures 1/4 mile on the bottom. So here is my idea.
The Switching Gears Nationals!!
A two day show....Friday we run a complete show on the 1/4 mile track and on Saturday back to the high banks 3/8ths.
$5000 to win each night and a $5000 bonus to win both nights. Maybe run tqs on Friday as a support class, since they like smaller tracks. The 1/4 mile has a little banking but not a lot. What do you all think about that?

This would be in 2015, and would try to have it around this time of year when the Friday night tracks are off.

Bring in some extra bumper tires for them light poles. Probably a good idea anyway.

Isn't that slate are are you talking grading some dirt down to it?

Would love it personally But there'd have to be a lip for someone willing to get up on it!

I would add a temp wall around lightpoles and such...to make a safe track there...and there is dirt there...the lime base is way under.

Sure I am! But would need to charge maybe $25 a night admission, or a two day ticket for $40

Depending on payout, it would be a 25 dollar ticket. I saw a lot of Summernationals Late Model races charge just 20 for $5,000 to win. A two day ticket deal is good...very good. 40 bucks for two days, is a steal with two 5K to win shows
