Dirtcar Summernationals drivers?

[cgrace]

UMP hurts themselves starting Wed at Brownstown just 4 days after Dream. most guys dont have crew or $$$ to do 3 days at Eldora and start again in 4 days. IMO start and finish in Illinois best chance to have the most cars throughout the series. Oakshade gets lots of cars, but they will without SN too for bday race

The original Summernationals was like 12 races in 15 days or something. It got super bloated over the years. They need to get back to 12-15 races or so and they'll get the followers for the full deal.

I suggest go back to around 1998/99 and tweak that schedule and you'd have guys do the whole thing.

Purses suck and point fund even worse. It's a very watered down version of what it once was. But I'll still be in the stands at Farley.

I live in the middle of those mentioned tracks and I would have 125 at the gate, 80 plus dollars in gas, and have my longest drives home during the week. Add in food and what not, your around 300 dollars with no drinks. For those that partake.......500 dollar week easy.

If they would charge 12$ general admission like oakshade would more fans go?

Just my opinion, but I think it is reckless to assume that anything with WRG attached to it is really worried about what would be best for the "fans", based on past history.

The weekend shows (10K TW) are good but the shows during the week (5k TW) usually consist of each tracks regulars and the few drivers doing the whole tour....Make all shows 10K to win to entice more bigger names to want to race during the week as well and follow the whole thing also.

If you want the big dogs to run the whole tour then they are gonna have to increase the championship money. If they want bigger car counts they are gonna have to make all shows 10,000 and good start money. Run Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for 4 weeks.

I'd love to see it pay more than $15,000 to win the title.

Doesn't it pay 20 or 25K?

[J20in1st]

Agreed. That's just too much for most people, especially when the touring guys have their series. I mean, who can go to their employer and be like, umm yeah, I'm going to be taking off like a months worth of work in the middle of the summer. Good luck with that one.

What if i plow snow for a job!!?

No. It's $15k

[Illtsate32]

4 Nights a week through June-July 10k a race 30,000 for points champion...build it and they will come..

[J20in1st]

You're unemployed.

Most days i wish

[Scott Boesel]

I remember back in the day if you won over half of the races you got a $100,000 bonus Iam not sure if they still do that or not

Jose Parga has the whole SN on his schedule.
