Lucas & WoO Sanctioned Races @ Eldora

[Hoosier]

I'd like to go back when most of the big time classic races were not sanctioned. Now it's get a race, 2 day show, pay $20k, instant Crown Jewel. What a freakin joke.

Dixie Shootout = $53,000 a few years ago

How about after the Woo Finals and the DTWC lets go head to head at Eldora put the top 10 in points against each other and the winner is the National Champ or the WORLD Champ however you want to word it. The winner gets into both the Dream and World the next season with a provisional if he doesn't make it in on time or heat race placement. Pay 200K for the win and run the purse deep into the field with the last place guy bringin home 15K

You wanna race the second week of November in Ohio? lol.

Yea sure why not lol we can race on a snow covered Eldora lol i was just trying to figure out a way to get them both there maybe my dates weren't the best but hey it would be worth a shot

There are a lot of tracks in my neck of the woods (East Tennessee) that host both Lucas and WoO.
Smoky Mountain, Bull's Gap, Tazewell (not this year, but in years past)

Bottom line the two series need to join together and run for a minimum $30K a night, 3K to start. Its time to put the big dogs on the big stage and allow the local racers run for fun at their local track.
Times have changed

Because less guys having a chance to make money would work out well for the sport, right?

WoO had a sanctioned race there for 2 years about Brickyard time.

I thought it was a WoO race too.

It was. That was when Stewart and Chub got into it.

How is 30k to win and 3k to start "less guys having a chance to make money"?

Because to do that you'd have to have only one series. Only 24 cars start a race instead of 2 series with 2 races at the same time with 48 cars racing for money.

Yep. The way it is now is actually pretty good. Getting too expensive as it is, to put them all vying for 24 spots, ouch.

Yeah I think you guys are right, I guess I was thinking it was Lucas Oil sanctioned because I believe EPJ won it.

I dont think it needs to be done. E has their own standalone big shows. Lets not dilute it and ruin a good thing. Next subject!

This weekend, both WoO and Lucas are racing, giving roughly 50 drivers the chance to make money on the weekend. If there was only one tour, just 24-28 guys would have the same chance.

It's not rocket surgery.

If there was a national tour that ran for that kind of money a WoO and Lucas type tours would still be needed. Maybe they could go more regional, but still would need that level of show I feel like.
