More money for cars back in the field?????

How do we do that?????

Promote and advertise the class.

1. Have fans ask for us to race.

2. Park an unused race car at the front gate to the grandstands with a photographer and bulls!tter.

3. Allow kids and sometimes even adults get in for pictures.

4. If they don't have a camera get their names and e mail addresses and offer to send them a copy.

5. Get some hot shoes in the stands and offer to sign autographs.

6. Throw out some T shirts and other items.

7. Get the fans on your mailing list.

8. Make the promoters of the tracks want you back as a money maker instead as a cheap filler class.

9.Get the announcers on our side. Have them talk up how fast we really are, and how affordable we are when compared with other cars that may be much slower than us. Heck let him take one for a spin, that should do it. They wont be lying.

10. Add some pazzaz maybe some nick names and I love rivalries.

11. The more we have to offer the larger the demand for our racing the more we can ask to put on a show, and that is still what we are doing, putting on a show. If we can draw the crowd the promoter can afford to pay us more. Get out of the back gate mentality and work on a cut of the front gate that is where the money should really be.

If you want more money Do it the old fashion "American Way" get off your dead ass and work for it and don't wait for somebody to just hand it to you and cry because it isn't enough.

Do you really know why our purse is dictated on the number of cars signing in?? any the payback drops off so fast.

I like your thinking dad. At 35 raceway minis were the premier class in the late 90s. They ran 250s and 600s. It was a smaller facility acreage wise and the fans knew the drivers and vice versa. At one point there was a bounty offered by the track owner to beat the 44w. To win the bounty a driver had to start behind him, pass him an he had to finish the race. Family called me the flash and a few called me a flash in the pan. Those were good times and everyone had a blast. We had a garage built ERC clone with a 637 F-3 running hilborne mechanical injection. And the car was always hooked to the track! The mechanical had 0 wires back then and we weren't smart enough to adjust it! Clean the nozzles out weekly and go. If I remember correctly everyone was cheating. Lol.

Sure used to be hard to find a seat in the grand stand back then, we used to make the big shows, when Tony would have his big National's.

We probably raced each other. We ran there between 91 and 98. Always 44w. The big races were always a blast. The damn pa posse always kicked our butts in the 250 class those nights.

The last time we raced there was the Gettlefinger memorial. Got their way late went out and hot lapped with sidewinders had fast time for the group then they figured out we was an upright and caught all kinds of hell.

Seems to me a 44 won that deal. I think it was powered by an old Kaw.
