Thats uncalled for right there.Originally posted by Clayton_Wetter View PostJust take a catchers mitt and a face shield. Just kidding. I went to a track where I got in the mouth with a rock, felt like it could have broken some teeth but it didn't, then the very next time we went to that track a golf ball sized rock hit be on the knee and it was sore for a year over that. Another guy got hit in the mouth and got cut clear through the lip. And yet another kid got hit in the forehead and the blood poured. Required an ambulance trip for him.
When you have to worry about getting hurt or killed it takes the fun out of it.THE REAL SLIDING SIDEWAYS!

I don't believe we'll hear anything about a second attempt at this event until the promoter counts up all the shekels from this first go 'round and sees how many were left over for himself.
If he made a nice haul for himself, then I think you'll hear more about version 2.0.
My personal opinion:
1) Switch the name to the Payday 100.
2) Guarantee a minimum amount to win...say $75k
3) Guarantee a minimum amount to start...say $4k
4) Do the whole donation/provisional thing again and add to the winner's share if the threshold to do so is met.
5) Rest of the payout is locked in.
6) Make it 3 provisionals and give Lucas 1 if it's one of their events again.
7) Add a fan-vote provisional. Everyone who bought a ticket to attend the race and everyone who bought the pay per view gets one vote. Could be done on-line with limited hassle.
The driver who didn't qualify for the A-main w/the most fan votes (by paying customers) gets in. That driver tags the field starting 25th.
Payout:
$75k, $40k, $20k, $18k, $17k, $16k, $15k, $14k, $13k, $12k, $11k, $10.5k, $10k, $9.5k, $9k, $8.5k, $8k, $7.5k, $7k, $6.5k, $6k, $5.5k, $5k, $4.5k, $4k
Total $352.5k
*Winner's share can increase based off fan donations, just like this year.
You want another wrinkle, add $2500 (making the total purse $355k) $500 bonus to the driver leading the race on lap 10, 30, 50, 70, & 90.
Another idea would be to institute lap sponsors (Minimum $100)
For example...Pierce fans love them some 32...so the Bobby Pierce fan club could put up $100 and the leader of lap 32 earns that donation. JD fans can take lap 49. Bloomer fans can take two laps... 0 and give the $ to the pole-sitter and of course lap 18. There will be at least a dozen rockets in the field, so Mark Richards could personally sponsor 12 laps including lap 1. Canadian fans you have lap 7.
Twenty seconds in and we got 1/6th of the laps covered.
Get DoD and Arizona Sports Shirts involved again...and have at it.

Yep. All out of his pocket. LolOriginally posted by Mason87 View PostDidn't you know? Tony pays all that out of his pocket just because he's such a nice guy.
Talk about a race that could pay a million, with a nice purse, it’s The World 100.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.
