Is this the start of low paying 100 lap races !
I could see 50 or 60, but a 100 laps is a little much for 10,000 at the cost to operate these cars!

At least it’s not a two day show.

Build it to last 100 laps and won't cost so much. Honestly thought great deal for local/regional guys. Good pay and chance to learn how to race long race. Especially since there's a few in that area every year

Wouldn't your conclusion have to factor in the size of the track?

Like Huskerdirt said at least it's not a 2-day show. Back in the 1980's & 1990's this was common place at a lot of tracks. Racing back then was also a bit cheaper then it is today.

I loved running 100 lap races. This race was meant for local and regional guys who dont get to run 100 lap races.

Wasn't that long ago a lot of $10k races were 100 lappers. I wish there were more 100 lap races today. Usually much better racing.

What's the difference in 40 laps on a half mile track for 5g an 100 laps on a 3/8 or 1/4 mile for 10g

No one is forced to compete...

If 10K isn't enough you could always add $$$ to the purse.

37.5 miles under green on the Atomic track is all it is. Really, why not.

matdaddy you always come on here whining and crying about Tom Petty but you never have the guts to answer anyone when they ask why you've perpetually got your panties in a wad.

I remember some 100-lappers that paid $3,000 to win. Are we really complaining now about having to drive 38 miles for $10,000?

Nothing wrong with $10k and a 100 laps. Brad scheduled this race to be against the Lucas race and all the other regional races for mostly guys around here.

Chance to run for better money, and not have the big guys. He has tried big sanctioned races, and didn’t do well. So why not try a modest unsanctioned race, if it does well, keep doing it, and maybe eventually make it bigger. Personally unsanctioned as it is, and how he has it. No entry fee, and a basic tire rule.

Used to have the KC 100, so also reviving that. He’s a good promoter. Good luck today to anyone going. Easy on the gas in the parking areas, they are going to be wet if he gets it in.

Good post CnB. I don't see how Terry Phillips or Tom Petty has anything to do with this thread. One doesn't even live in the area around Atomic and the other passed away a few years ago.

I think all locals should have the opportunity to run a 100 lapper. But if I was a track owner and did this, it’d be invitational only. Like have it last race of the year, tracks top 24 in points invited. Something on those lines.

Most guys just run for a few hundred bucks,only the winner gets the big money. Average the purse and the cars its not very much.

I guess 4m will hire a lawyer, seek retribution for him:).
