North ga speedway

[dirt crow]

I like what was said in another post on this board.The problem with racing in the south one groove tracks.Too many class.They want to race all night long and yes insist on running supers last...

Right on my friend! Hit the nail on the head!!

Cabin Fever is the most drawn out race ever. Its almost as entertaining to watch the cars drive by on the interstate.

Most day races are typically like that. It's almost like they think they have all day and all night when they start in the afternoon.

Indeed. Plus it's cold as balls, the racing is like watching open practice on a rented out track, and you can't drink beer.

Serious question, have you ever been to a GA track with only 2 classes?? I'm pretty sure 4 is my least!! Also, Boyd's Cabin Fever race is pretty close and usually in Jan.

I feel like I've been to one with 3 classes but never 2.

I'm not restless, I just understand math.

North Georgia in Jan/Feb you'd be lucky to draw 1000-1500 in the stands. At $25 a person with a $20k show your still very short of breaking even.

I'm with you on the $75 thing. I would gladly pay that too, but we're the minority in that.

Never a good business plan to go into something where breaking even is your best case scenario.

To further illustrate the point I was making.

$20k/500 to start and $2k/100 to start crate support show would run approx $72,500-$75,000 minimum after purse, advertising, and operating expenses.

1250 @ $30 in the stands $37,500

Assuming 40 supers and 25 crates. $100 entry for supers $50 for crates, $5250.

Each car brings five people plus 175 extra walk up in the pits.

500people @ $45 each $22500.

$65,250 before concessions.

That my friend is a loser.

Each car bringing 5 people is a stretch in itself.

[B_K]

Yes it is. Was trying to illustrate the absolute best case scenario and still show how short you'd be.

To me it seems like you would want to to do a SAS or Ultimate show 4 or 5k to win have three supports classes get them in and out in decent time, and try to make a little money instead of a gamble on bigger money shows. SAS/Ultimate purse are close and start 24 cars where Ray's deal only starts 22, just a thought!

Ultimate opens the season at NGS the first week of March. It's been that way for a few years. That's as early as it needs to be honestly.

Ice Bowl, Sweetheart at 411, and Cabin Fever take care of any early season itches for fans in the region.
