Why don't all of you IOW people find sponsers and or fork out the cash and make it the IOW doubler? Come on now $10k would not be that hard to raise between now and the end of points season. Heck I'll even give the first $100! :checkered:

Back in the 70s in Western PA, three tracks went together every weekend. The promoters at Lernerville, Mercer, and Tri-City put in $100 each and if a one driver could sweep the Friday/Saturday/Sunday weekend he got the $300.

Don Hammer is doing quite a bit there at Farmer City and Lincoln, $5,000 for somebody to the same feat in the modifieds as well. Plus he's bringing a two day show for $20,000 to win at Farmer City which I believe is the highest paying late model race ever in IL. Something like this in Indiana would certainly be interesting.

Those two tracks just guaranteed themselves a great car count every week. If two tracks did that around here they would really hurt the sanctioning bodies around here. Local racers couldnt pull away to go run the big shows in there area. So it is a great idea for tracks to guarantee car counts. But it is not the greatest thing for the bigger paying events at other tracks. Kinda of a catch 22 for the sport.

I know it would require the promotors to work together again, but maybe they could avoid scheduling points races on nights when they know there is a big event in the area on the same night.

It seems unlikely that they would make it past the airing of grievances. "I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're going to hear about it."
