The East & West deal didn't last too long....

I was thinking the same thing

[Scott Boesel]

why dont they just call this the alms/oakshade series

kinda reminds me of the mlra series they go to the same 3 tracks all year. You would think theres alot more tracks that would love to host one of these series races

$2000 to win is absurd. $4000 should be the minimum, just charge more admission. To say they want to keep it local is not quite true with the number of higher paying races mixed in. Traveling from Ohio to Illinois would not be logical for 2K. Of course this is basically a local series with half of the races almost being at either Oakshade or Eldora. Two locations that can draw the largest crowds for a late model race. This series is what? twenty years old now and still paying 2K?

My guess is 34 is a decoy to attract the big dogs while the ALMS regulars sneak off to Eldora for 2 grand and the points.

If the series promoter is keeping the purse down for the regional guys, that's great but they could double that purse and it would still attract the same racers. Seriously, 2 grand at Eldora for a series race?

Yes but Eldora is one of the places that can get away with this ploy!!

they shoud'nt be racing out side ohio makes no sense and clayton you say that about any series

You are right. The big E would be the only place.....

you got the sponsors no really they do that to keep the bigger teams away

They could pay $0 at Eldora and still get a decent field. It is the practice for the biggies that a lot of teams crave.

The ALMS was started by Gene Frankert and Earl Baltes and wa designed for the weekend racer. Now the series pays the same money and travels way too far for the weekend guy. Now to much travel expense and miles for me !

[TS FAN]

I wonder how many cars they get for 2,000? That does seem really low for a series, but I guess if they get decent car counts, it works out.
