We will be there.

Not sure if it matters at this point this thread seems to be ruined by a few individuals that can't seem to understand what this thread was posted for.

Hope to see everyone at Eldora.

Ricky T, you gonna make it?

People who are looking for information don't want to sift through 40+ posts about stuff unrelated to the original thread. End of story.

Andy,
Haven't heard but I would guess yes. Nicholas (sp) will probably be there, saw he ran the practice day.

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

I think this race is going to bring alot of cars from all over the country. I've talked to aleast 5 teams from 5 different states coming. I would like to see at least $1000 purse to win and $100 to start this race. Eldora always pays big money for the main class. We race for more than that in our go karts. We are taking a big chance of blowing engines, and killing race cars at this track. So why not pay some cash to make it worth racing at this Big Big Big track.

What we need is a "big time deep pocket Sponsor" to step up and help us out. Even an anonymous one.

Boy I wish I had a life!! A "Pm" would have been in order. You are just trying to gain on me. (Got any spare change?) we could use some sponsors.

I'm sorry to say that if this race cant bring a good payout why waste are cars on it. I'd reather race at Waynesfield for less chance of killing a engine or chassis. How about Waynesfield hold a race with a nice pay out. I bet less engines would be blown, and more cars could race.

His cars are actually Spike midgets built by Godfrey in Indianapolis. Very same car they use for midgets, same tubing and everything, just modified to run a motorcycle engine. We have 2 of them and are very happy with them.

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

we may be there, not for sure though last time we ran an MMSA race we got charged one amount and someone else got charged a different amount but i did get all my money back and then some.

Your killing me. That would be nice. Lets see if we hit the lottery sat. Lol

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

what will be the pay out for this race to win and to start it should
be a good purse since you are charging 20.00 for pill draw
and 20.00 dollers for non members plus 25.00 pit pass
this kind of entery sounds purty steep

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

That track is way to big for the Mini Sprints. There will be more tore up motors, cars, and just hope that no one gets hurt. It don't matter if you are a good driver, set up man or not, you have to look out for the other guy or gal. A big pay out would help. Bill should have it to pay with what he is asking the guys to pay for a pill draw and if not a member another $20.00 plus their pit pass to get their money back he would have to pay alot. If I was a racer, which I was years ago I would just go and watch. and keep my car safe at home and my body in good shape. I know everyone wants to say they race at Eldora but, think getting the car or yourself hurt worth it? Good luck to each driver that does show up.

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

In the early 90's the amsa raced at the Richland Co. fairground 1 mile track in Olney, Il, Green to checker, a Kentucky driver won.

The Buckeye Mini Sprints, a 600cc group, raced at the "Fast Half" Southern Ohio Speedway in Wheelersburg, OH in the mid 90's, again green to checker, Graig McGuire won.

we have experienced crashes on the first lap 3 times this season on 1/4mile tracks, all caused by some form of driver error, this is what we need to avoid, don't attempt to win the race in turn one,

The size of the track is not the cause of crashes, If the drivers put on a good show, they may be invited back, drive like idiot's and they won't,

This race is not for the benefit of me or the MMSA, it's for the drivers who WANT to race there, the autograph session has been moved up to
4:30 to 5:30, I urge all drivers to get there early and help make this "Family Fun" nite a success for the promoter at Eldora, just remember, they chose mini sprints as a support class for this event, so.
let's show support.

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

You know, I try to steer clear of the AMSA vs MMSA bullshiot because we race with both.....but seriously, if you AMSA guys have a problem with running at Eldora simply shut up and don't go.

Honestly, people see right through the crap.

Thanks everyone for your comments concerns. Hardly the point of the post.

If you are going hope to see you there, if not have fun elsewhere. If you feel like expressing more comments or concerns start your own post. Thanks Bill for all the hard work you do... These prestigious tracks make racing worth going. If we did it for money we would be doing something else.

Check your cars over good, let's race.

Bill, you r doing one hell of a job permoting mini sprint racing, period they have run at terre haute years ago and believe me the track is wayyyyyy more demanding on engines and cars. Keep up the good work it is very much appreciated !!!!!!!

OK HELLO business owners!!! It is time to get off your butts and advertise a little. I know things are tuff more so than most of you. The Muffler business is very very quite now days, but I know I must still ADVERTISE to bring in the business.

The first thing I did was get out my "Busness Model" and read all 2177 pages of it, "twice". It states that I should set aside at least 10% of my gross sales toward advertising unless!!! it is on a race car or involves racing in general then the amount is strictly up to the business owner.

I then had a board of directors meeting. She said it was OK.

I then checked with my accouant. He said $300.00 was a little over 10%, but is was still pre tax money, and would come off the top as money I did not make this year, so it really wasn't $300.00.

I know that racers support racers.

"In business all things being equal I will always deal with a fellow racer".

I know that my investment advertising with the MMSA will more than pay for itself, If a racer is near L'Vill and needs exhaust work I hope they will give me a chance to compete for their business.

I know that I'm not the only small business owner racing mini sprints. Look at it like this, Your add with the MMSA Eldora race would be much much less expensive than an add in the Eldora race program. It will go directly towards the Purse, that you might even have the chance to win back.

Why not spend $50.00 or $100.00 and place an add for your fellow racers business.

Hi Andy

Knowing us, we will be late. Still waiting on a water pump to get here. We are trying to talk a future sponsor into coming with us.

That may be the most true statement I have ever read on the internet...It's never faster than when you first started....so true...I can't believe that I have never thought or heard that before.

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

Somebody PLEASE video tape this race!!!

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

What kind of racing format is going to be running? Are we going to get to qualify and run the program like usac with a last chance qualifier? We should really consider this so some of the cars dont get in the way of way faster cars. What about a lay over flag? WHAT ABOUT A FAST DASH FOR A-MAIN LINEUP?

Re: MMSA at ELDORA
 

The complete details/program, from pit pass purchase until the fireworks
is posted on the MMSA website, Eldora sets the agenda, This will be the first appearance of mini sprints on this track, how well drivers react to conditions will determine if they return.
