Default PLEASE READ / Head up Racin'

Guys, its been a while since I have posted, but we are working on a concept over here.
"Heads up Racin" is trying to put together a better racing format to compete with Pinks/1320x. While we don't have unrealistic expectations, this will be filmed as a pilot none the less.
The point is we want heads up racing. We want money involved. We do not want another bracket race. We want it on the track and not on the street this year.
Heads up Racin is working with LVD and Advance Auto on support and sponsership.

The GOAL is a fun day of racing, with "Call outs", Grudge matches and Heads up Racing. We draw from Mass, CT, Philly etc.

We have been somewhat successful getting some to travel to Albany in the past for late night adventures, but its time to involve money and safety of the track.

Please go VISIT http://www.headsupracin.com/index.html
and come back to this thread and comment on rules, and maybe give some ideas. Head Up Racin is trying to stay simple. The site was just put up and its ONLY a start.

Opinions wanted !

Lebanon Valley

This is meant to be the anti pinks in many ways. The themes are limited, racing is racing, but I see your point.

Strung out bald guys just seem to present themselves.

Keep up the comments.

I think most races will be heads up(starting at $50 for the everyday guy), but some of the big boys want the higher dollar options in the grudge match only theme.

I'm always interested in watching more racing shows. Also Lebanon Valley isn't all tooo far, maybe when I get the rear and stuff on i'd be willing to make a trip up there and attempt to win some money. The cheaper races will be better, you will get a better turnout and if people can do call outs and grudges that'd be ideal!!
