I have a question or two for all steel block sprint car racers. If you were guaranteed a minimum of a $100 dollars to show up and a minimum of a $150 dollars to start would you consider running with a true series? Well, you now have a great opportunity to be a part of a new organization that was designed for you the blue collar racer. Let’s face it the cost of racing has blown way out of the stratosphere and it shows no signs of coming back to earth any time soon and with the economic times as they are all of us are weighing our options of where to go and how many times can we race or worse yet just hanging up the helmet and covering up the car and calling quits all together until things improve in the pocket book. I think I might have something for you. So before you give it up for the year or put a for sale sign on everything you own, you just might want to look into the S.C.O.R.A Sprint Car Series. I have been racing in the modified class for years so when I tell you that I know what it’s like to spend thousand and run for little to nothing you can be assured I know what I’m talking about and I know what your going thru but those of you that have a sprint car with a steel block engine have an opportunity and a choice that I didn’t. You actually can be a part of a true series that was created for guys in your class whether it is economics or equipment wise. The S.C.O.R.A deal is perfect for the weekend racer that is looking more than just a Saturday night same old routine. I mean I had to ask myself how hard do I have to run to finish high enough in the modified class to make a $150 bucks or in your guys case how much does it pay to make a show and if god forbid I don’t make it then what does the B main pay to start? I’m not chopping any ones home track so please don’t think I am but if your racing against bigger funded teams for a $100 bucks to start or $50 to $60 to start the B main and are feeling like a small fish in an ocean of sharks the S.C.O.R.A series might be just the shot in the arm that you need to re-energize your excitement for racing again. Give the S.C.O.R.A Sprint Car Series a chance and who knows you might find a new home. Thank you John Gurley
