RACE
PROGRAM UPDATES FOR JULY 4 and JULY 11
After talking
with members of my racing committee, I have decided to make a few changes to
this weekend (and the next weekend):
The first change is that we are going to split up the 6 Make-up Features and
run half of them this weekend and half of them the next weekend. This is to
try and prevent particularly late nights and to hopefully have a better
racing surface. This weekend we will have the Stock Cars and the 305 and 360
Sprints. July 11th we will run the make up features for the Hornets, Hobbies
and B Mods.
All Six Classes will run there regular program both weeks. The only change
will be that we will run 3 make-up features each week.
Hot Laps will be at 6:00 both weekends, and the make up features will be 1st
in the program.
Also after a lot of thought and discussion with committee members, we will
allow new cars to “buy into” the make up features, and start at the tail.
The buy in will be what start money is for a particular class.
Here is what my thoughts are on this: There are basically three parties that
this concerns the Track, the Fans and the Racers who were at the previous
week. From the tracks standpoint we are even, because they are paying start
money to get into the feature (and this might eliminate some of these guys
anyway). From the fans standpoint it will be a plus if we gain a few cars.
So then it is a matter is it fair to the racers that were there the week of
the postponement. Well, I have had great discussions on the pros and cons of
this and weather or not it is “fair” with the racing committee members.
I will also add that most of the guys that have asked to buy into the
make-up features have raced with us and were either broke down or had prior
obligations, and they are fine if we allow them to race or we don’t allow
them to race.
In the end I have decided that both of the above items will put on a better
show for the fans. It shouldn’t be such a late weekend (and we do have
fireworks after the races) and we might gain a few extra cars because I know
of several that won’t be able to make it.
Also, IMCA also now allows “buy ins” to race for regular IMCA points, so for
the stock cars both features will get IMCA points as well as track points.
Thanks and it should be a great weekend.
July 4th: $15 Car Load Night, 3 Extra Features (360 Sprints, 305 Sprints and
IMCA Stock Cars) and Fireworks.
July 11th: 3 Extra Features (Hornets, Hobbies and B Mods)
