Rick Day Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Larry Although SAS or myself have never posted a guanteed points fund, Terry Dickerson has always come up with a suitable payout. Plus I am sure that it will be more than the $41.22 check that NASCAR sent you for their Points Fund and all your efforts during the 2006 NASCAR season.

J-III Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I wouldnt go that far Rick. My check from Nascar was more than 3 TIMES that of the check I received from the SAS points fund. For me that is a very considerable difference. I did not talk to any other drivers at the banquet, but I do know that the driver at the table next to mine was equally shocked (based on facial expression and disgruntled gestures) at the shortage in his points fund check. I was not going to bring this up for debate, but since the track started the comparison I only thought it was now a fair topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Definitive Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The points fund goes a long long way towards a good strong consistant car count.How do you think NA$CAR became big enough to start ruining itself in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram#9 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i personally could care less about the point fund, i just want to race, thats what it all about at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Rick is saying is that if it wasn't for all the money WASTED on the nascar sanction is that maybe the track could have spent more on the "point's fund". Like I said at the banquet. Still chasin' Pual Lipp. Congrats on your $800 check. Mine was only $48. Of course I was just a lowly grandstock driver..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Day Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 That might be true JR. but the so called NASCAR points fund also came from SAS and Terry Dickerson. Most of you probably dont know, but each week that we raced a NASCAR sanctioned event we had to send NASCAR 3% of each classes payout for that night, plus a sanction fee of $1,350.00 each week, plus a annual fee of $5,000.00. So instead of taking it out of the weekly payoff, TD and SAS paid it. So no matter how you look at it, TD paid both points funds. So i wasnt saying one was better than the other, bottom line is they came from the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 How cool would it be if the racers knew what they were racing for AHEAD of time in terms of a points fund? I've never managed a track and I realize that this might be difficult to do, but I'll still make the uneducated and opinionated statement that a "minimum" points fund should be published at the beginning of the season. I can't help but think that car counts may improve a little if the racers knew what they were racing for in terms of bonus money. Out of 3 championships, we've won points money for only one. That's a bitter pill to swallow. Why make it a secret? Instead of making the points fund an afterthought that may or may not be funded depending upon income, make it a guaranteed expenditure. I know that THR has had some rough times, and these suggestions may be fiscally impossible, but it couldn't hurt to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those $s the same ones that are used for NA$CAR. What an honor. If is were about the $$ about 99% of us wouldn't be here. On Edit. Brad, He has to put up with me more than you know. Why do you think he made the trip down to SAS 2 Saturdays ago. Wasn't for the ASA......Scouting maybe??? Watch out Termite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
