spedfrk Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Just my opinion.... Why not break up the the extra $500 over the top ten. I think that will make it more appealing to more drivers. Everyone gets more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Obviously, every track promoter has a decision to make about how to divide up the payout. I-37 Raceway has decided to divide the payout the way they announced. But I'm almost certain that Jim would accept sponsorship money from folks wanting to spread more money down the payout sheet.

RBSF Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Unlimited limited mods? What rules do the limited/ssm's run at I-37?

I talk with Jim just about everyday. I have some things in the works, but nothing on paper. I expressed a concern to Jim on two issues. 1) Was as Greg said, people told the track go outlaw and they will come! Question: Where are they? 2) Driver attitude... These folks at I-37 have busted their humps to give drivers a place to race. They have added classes and changed classes to try to get more cars to come. Yet people still are not happy... My hopes are that by the end of 2009, I-37 has attracted new drivers and it continues to grow. I hope for more drivers like Greg and Candace who love racing and support the tracks they go to. Yes, tracks have issues from time to time. Just as drivers/teams do. I plan on sponsoring I-37. My products need exposure to the drivers as well as the fans.

cperry115 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i am not a track owner or promoter and nor do i care to be nor do i own a modified. but if you paid a purse for modifieds and said it 's 500 to win gauranteed and pays decent down thru 10th or 12th and then payed min start money (what it cost to get in the gate) i think you would see more cars at the track. you put 1000.00 to win hoping to get more cars (and you will get a few more i'm sure) but the avg joe looking to race and be competetive looks at the paydown to decide wether it's feasible to travel and what they leave with hopefully...$500 but not always the case. so i believe paydowns should be greater without all the money on top! now sport mods most cars running at STS are still IMCA legal with the exception of headers and maybe some body mods, but i think the consensus is that why go race when you don't know if they are gonna change the purse after they count the cars. pay the advertise payout and show people thats what you intend to do and then there may be more cars. just my own opinion so don't start crying about find sponsors and buy a track and all that b.s. also there were grumblings about paying an IMCA reg, then $50 car reg.and pit pass was increased all = $$ from the racer.and i know that reg was waived for this next race so hopefully there will be more cars. Remeber tracks can't survive withouit racers and racers can't get their fix without tracks. on EDIT there are things about IMCA that are good and theres alot of stuff i don't like but thats my choice, lets face it guys how many IMCA tracks are there around other than Waco(which runs fridays also) killeen is sat but i never see any i-37 names in the results.. except johnny when he was racking up national points when STS wasn't running the same night. this part of the country appears to be OUTLAWED, hell everyone crys about motors but half of you got big motors anyway i do remeber rye going to kileen last year in the mod. come on al your to quite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISS_Racing Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ok, here is a question and maybe Reb knows the answer. What does it cost per track to get into the gate for the guys running modifieds? Driver($$$)? Crew($$$)? Then what are the guaranteed weekly payouts? Not special payouts, but weekly.... Let's do the tracks in South Texas... Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT66 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Here are some questions that are key you left out...How much does a mod cost compared to a door car??.How much alcohol will that puppy burn on a race night compared to a gas carb?,How much was that non claimable motor to have built??.Its not the cost getting in that changes,its the investment cost..And the upkeep is much higher...Its easy to see on other web sites what the outlaw tracks are paying...But i think the real set back right now is the rules were very late,and has there been any contact with mod supporters from last year from the leaders??...

Racer26 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Frank, promotors don't call drivers anymore. The biggest thing left out is what it costs to drive to I-37. The place is in the middle of nowhere and runs on Friday. A lot of people have to work Friday's (luckily I normally don't) and then theres getting home late and having to get the car ready for the next night. I ran that track last season until the suprise cut at the pay window. I've ran that track every season since I got a car but this year I think I'll just sit back and see what happens.

Wayne Walker Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What does it cost per track to get into the gate for the guys running modifieds? Driver($$$)? Crew($$$)? At Waco and Killeen it's $25 per person. Does not matter if it's driver or crew. Each of those tracks offer a one night "by" on registration. After that you have to register your car for the season. They also pay what they say and don't base it on car count. As far as IMCA tracks, that depends on the class. Go to the IMCA web page and look under tracks. Most of the sanctioned modified tracks are central and up. The south seems to prefer the outlaw rules. I hope I-37 does well but I won't go there because of "outlaw" rules and Friday scheduling.

Woodwayracing18 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 [edited out by Nick Holt, 4/2/09] Bottom line is when the payout comes up the car count will come up. (JMO) Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Not everyone is going to want to race at any give track. Let's not be pointing fingers at a track that you choose not to race at. Thanks. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISS_Racing Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 This has nothing to do with racing, but more to do with life. I had a boss tell me some 17 years ago that "the proof would be in the pudding!" Well this year is 20 years with the company I work for and the "iceholes" that caused me problems 17years ago are long gone... Point being, some people are in our lives to show us exactly how strong we are and others are there to make Us laugh... I-37 is doing a great job and I'm trusting they will be there in years to come..... Keep up the good work guys! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
