Quick ??, you have everything but purse's. Are they guaranteed?? Can we run 2 class' same night, will you give us time to get back to line for next class?? Would like to make plans, & if you expect us to pay $400 in advance, would like to know if it will last all 6 dates, guaranteed. No rules will be changed in the middle of the year, like last time?? Thank you.

Thanks for the interest

Would rather deal with you. Was hoping to have something in writing. Thanks.

This closest I will come to touching that, as I do not run the track, I run the 10.5 class in this series....

Quick 16 is being run by Big Vic, his contact info. is posted....

The purses are going to be based on car count and sponsorship money... If you would like to call me, I can tell you the breakdown on payout vs car count, but will not have any idea what series sponsors are going to pay until they are locked in by Mid March. All of the points fund money will be paid back... after all it is from the drivers to the drivers....

The rules are set for the year and there is going to be 6 races (5 points, 1 championship)... About the only thing not listed is general regulations (like only 2 crew men on the line, yada yada...) There will be a new fourm going up on the houseofhorsepower.net website that will be strictly for this series...

As far as running 2 classes, There is no problem with it but I can not promise a lot of time between classes as everything needs to get off in a timley fashon (1 night to get everything done)

Once again thanks for the interest, I hope that answers a lot of your questions.

That's a perfect answer, thank you. The purse is not set yet.
At least we know that now & glad to hear the rules will not change from race to race.
Hope you guys get some sponsors, at least you're trying.

Have you guys discussed having extra help on these nights for a safety crew.
If you expect to get 6 & 7 second cars to come back, that might help.

So are the class' all run except quick 16 which obviously means 16. I know some tracks have a quick 16 but it's all run.
Thanks again, & sorry I'm being a pain in the ***. After all the drama last year, most of us are a little worried about management.

GMCRACER

Thanks I am doing my best... You wouldn't believe all the conflict I am getting about the 10.5 race.... Either people love it or they hate it....

All of the classes will be "all run", as far as I know... 16 should mean 16, but I didn't make the rule... Vic wanted to have it an all run class...

As far as the extra help, I have not thought about it... That would be up to Kenny, Greg, and Denny...

We understand, at least those of us with a clue do. Thanks for your time.

I'm sure what a lot of guys are worried about is are you guys going to pull a RT 66 on us 8.50 sticker guys.
Chase us down the return road & throw us out. I'm sure you can't or shouldn't put in writing that you will be letting us slide.

Why do these guy love or hate it. Make your car fit the rules, or stay where you're at. You said no W tire.
I have only ran a W since they came out. I'm not bitching, I'm out getting help how to make my car work with your choice of tire.
Sorry you're getting so much grief. Keep up the great job.

Not your class, I know, just info. I can not get any 6-7 second pro car guys to go back. I hope someone can get them out for the heads up 1/8. That class is worth the trip, in my book.

GMCRACER

As far as my time, It is all part of what I took on... I enjoy b/sing about racing as much as racing sometimes.....

You're right I won't put anything in writing about the 8.50 rule....

In my opinion a chassis tag is good for 8.50/180.... I know I'd rather see someone run 8.30/170.... not to mention these cars we're safe 2 years ago....

I do believe there are 8 cars or so already locked in for the 1/8 mile Unlimited deal... Hopefully when "the others" see how much fun they are missing out on, they will change thier mind.

Updates should be final now
