JohnnyT66 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 HEY POORBOY, You go to lots of races it seems.. Do you think ANY south Texas racetracks will ever see 18 to 24 cars on a regular night of racing??.Cars from up north like NATIONAL IMCA MOD CHAMPIONS and NATIONAL IMCA ROOKIES in mods... I am talking WHIT,EGBERTS,ANDERSON,WHITEHEAD,GREEN,and many more taking on South Texas best like Flanagans,Browns,Whitakers,Grobe,Hardcastle,and a bunch more, then we could spill over to Futher south regulars like Adan,Blaylocks,and sevarel more....It was always like a north VS south every weekend..But are those days gone??Saw lots of TALENT every race night..Will the fans ever see this type of racing for the cost of a regular pit pass??I am not saying that there is not some GREAT racing taking place now,. Just seems the mod class is at a stalemate to show off the local talent it once did..Unless you want to really spend some big bucks and travel far....Now the SPORT MODS are really a big deal.. And we have some really bad ass drivers in that class... Will they ever get to shine as many have the talent to run with the VERY BEST!!!

poorboy Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Frank I don't go to as many races as I used to but obviously with the car counts there are others that don't either. In my honest opinion I don't think you will see the 19-24 acrs on a weekly basis. Special shows with more money I think will be different. I think I-37 has a chance now to see some increase in cars since the rules are the same as 4 other track in the area. I personnally wish all were IMCA but there not. I think there are cars from South Texas that can go anywhere and be competitive against any drivers under any set of rules. I'm not one of those, I'm just having fun.

JohnnyT66 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 RBSF, I am saying we had some GREAT mod racing for several years..It was unknown who would get a win on race night because of ALL the tough comp...The paying fan got to see MANY top of the line racers and UPCOMING 1st class racers..Now it seems there are only a HANDFULL of different winners..So you have to wonder what changed...The fans want to see GREAT racing and different winners... When its always the same, whats the excitement, then other things that grab your appeal will get your business...Frank T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSF Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yep, good point! So what HAS changed? I saw some of what you're talking about here, and if I wasn't good friends with the folks that win regularly, I probably wouldn't appreciate them as much. One thing I have seen about these particular folks is they really don't care if they win or not as long as the racing is good, door to door, clean and hard fought. It does seem the trend is going toward winning at any cost, not just the battle! I know it's not about the purse, 'cause even if they win regularly it barely pays the bills....

rebelracewriter Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Mark, Wayne gave you a fairly accurate answer.... At IMCA tracks, $25 pit passes are the norm.....no "driver entry" fees. Mod payout is usually $400-$500 to win...but people normally don't have lots of $$,$$$ in motors either. The majority of those tracks are also able to make money off the front gate, not depend on the back gate to make the purse. Texana has set the bar high as far as "Outlaw" Modified payout goes. But that's only ONE reason he gets a good car count there. Not even the Houston tracks pay that much on a regular show. Frank also brought up the Sportmod/Limited Modifieds......there are guys that have gone to this class for budget reasons. Texas Thunder gets around 20-24 cars. Abilene had 31 modifieds this past Sat., but Lubbock/Amarillo weren't running either. HOT has had a drop in car count this year so far. They used to get some D/FW cars come down, but RPM opening has kept some up in that area now. There are lots of people that just flat can't afford to race as much as they used to. Most of your IMCA legal cars can't compete with aluminum heads, quick changes, etc. unless the track is bone dry slick.(Despite what hray says--- ) Chasing IMCA points isn't the same anymore......points/wins are more relavent based on car count(just ask PJ and Phil!!!) So gone are the days of Henry(who is racing horses now) or the Egberts coming down to race against smaller fields(AKA, cherry picking). Personally(JMHO) throwing money at the top isn't the way to go either....You've got to help the rest of the guys to keep them coming back. There's only going to be ONE winner, and numerous others filling the field. Then there's the other things we talked about at THR last month. Now just my thoughts........but if ALL the south Texas tracks(I-37, Texana, Shady Oaks, STS, Rio Grande) would come up with a set of rules that are more in tune with IMCA(even without the sanction) I think you'd see more cars over time. True, the transition wouldn't happen overnight. But as guys blew the high dollar motors, broke quick changes AND they had a more affordable option there would be no need to rebuy the the high dollar stuff to be able to race. Problem is NO track(s) can afford to take that chance at still keep the gates open right now. Plus, should the north texas tracks rain out, they would be more willing to tow down and still be competitive. It's a cycle....just like the Super-Modifieds priced themselves out back up north where I raced......or the weekly 410 Sprints and the weekly Late Models since I've moved here......Guess that means it's ALL my fault!!!!

SassyCassie14 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here is another announcement, but this time its for the IMCA Sport Modifieds. From here on out, the winner of the sport mods will get at least $300. This will be guarenteed no matter how many cars race that night. Also, the track is still in the process of getting their beer license. So for the next 2 races, it will still be BYOB. See everyone in 2 days!!!
