Dirt Million

I know sponsors contribute to races but they are wanting anybody to help fans and everybody it looks like champagne taste on a beer budget to me.

If it stays in the 100K/2K range, the car count likely wouldn't be any different than this year's DTWC. It's almost become just another Lucas-sanctioned crown jewel. It should mean more, but driver interest says otherwise.

The Mansfield purse will have to get at least above that 100K/2K line to draw more than 70-80 cars

If its a Lucas race, then its just a Lucas race. One where 12 guys don't have to do anything to get in the show.

That's half the field it would probably be better if it wasn't sanctioned then you got to race your way in.

A25rjr and Mi dirt fan.... I've been banned from Lucas oil competition for having an STP sticker on my car....

[Twist'EM Up]

Open Tire rule???

Did I step on some ones toes with my opinion? I see my thoughts SHOWED UP MIA

[NY DIRT]

I would like to see it sanctioned by Lucas but everybody gets 200 points for just showing up. No points for the race and no provisionals . More cars would show up because no Lucas guys are guaranteed to make the field...

Generally on 4m when threads get over 3 pages, the comments get more retarded. This thread is living up to that fact.

What was your first clue?

I would love to see a "true open tire rule" for the deal hard to bitch about tires when you can bolt on whatever you want..? Imo that would even out the field no disadvantage for local and regional guy's that have tires but can;t use them because of run my tres or don't run rule??? Hell il'l throw 2k in for that

The last few Fall Fest races at Challenger in PA were totally open tire for 20k. They used draw some really diverse fields of travelers to em.

The Nevada Pro Stock Association's tire rule just says 11" wide max period. You see everything from 55's to grooved asphalt slicks to the big Dirt Bozz to some oddball tires somebody found on E Bay. The fields are very competitive and guys run what they can afford in the series that usually pays $1K to win. Right now we're running the IMCA LM spec tire 'cause I got a deal on them and we're most always up near the front. Tire companies contribute nothing to our class anywhere we run so I don't see why we should always be at the mercy of, generally, Hoosier's pricing.

We're just getting started I've seen some dump ideas but this tops it I been going to races for 50 years this is the worst idea I've ever seen.

Hmmmmm..... Well 3 wide...(And others) Its a 100.000 grand to win & 2.000 grand to start.(For sure) Maybe, as much as 10.000 grand to start. And you think its a bad idea? Hello... Its a GREAT deal 4 the drivers to make some GREAT cash!(No matter what happens) Ugh... And a VERY good thing 4 the sport. How can anyone not like the idea of the drivers maybe, getting a GREAT payday like this?.... Thats Just my 2-cents on this....

Challenger was just great all around. Is it just sitting and rotting Josh?

I don't have a problem with them running a 100 grand race I have a problem with them begging for money to run a bigger race.They run a 100 grand race ever year at eldora.
