Fan Fund Changes: I think its total BS..... Moyer gets fan fund money to race. (1,750 to start and 2,500 to win)
Billy is going to be at Nationals anyways. Did the news rules go into effect this year?
You can stay that for other drivers too, Feger, Pierce, Babb

Yep the fans fund is stupid, when you have guys like Moyer, Pierce, Babb, Rauen, Feger, Pearson in Larry Morrings car and Lance Mathees. Those guys would have been there anyways. 7 cars out of 12. There were only 5 new drivers whoopee. This is why I do not partake in there BS.
Also wanted to chime in on the races, The first night (Thursday) was the best racing. I do think That cedar lake needs to have racing on Friday (feature for the super lates) then it will be a lot better.

Right on, Thursday by far was the best racing surface all weekend. I agree having the B-Mods, Mods or Super Lates, would help the track for Friday & Saturday races.

So what do you geniuses propose for the fans fund? Gustin, Jackson, Carpenter turned it down, others have done so in the past. Ask congress to pass a bill eliminating all other racing in the US. The Fans Fund people did a great job, the $22,000 may have been the highest ever.
Why dont you smarties go out and find some guys with talent and testicles to come to Wisconsin.

Fans Fund is or was supported for new drivers to come up here. I can see why Gustin, Jackson, and Carpenter turned it down, they are racing another series. Gotta remember the fans voted for this guys because on paper it was ok to. I saw the list and shied away from it. I know you can't please everyone!

I think x5lives maybe you should understand why they didn't show up. Jackson leads the MARS series and raced sat. night. Gustin also there I believe. Carpenter I have no answer to. Just a little insight. I have been in the fans club for the last 5 years. And I would really like to know the payout difference between sponsor money and actual fans money. Because this was the least amount of actual fans their. The fans fund deal when it first started out was way better than it is now. It should be for drivers that can't afford the trip. Not for any and all the Big Teams. Other people and I would like to see it just set up for first time drivers and teams.Originally posted by x5lives View PostSo what do you geniuses propose for the fans fund?

A fan can vote any driver they wish to, if you don't vote then you cant nominate anyone new. You can complain all you want, but you actually need to find someone that is actually interested in going, and support them. Very few of the fans fund nominated drivers from that past have shown much loyalty to CLS by attending the event again.
I'm sure if you can come up with some better ideas the people who run the fans fund would be more than glad to hear your ideas. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to bash the program because you are disappointed by those that were voted in. Why not criticize those that failed to show, did they have a chance to win 50K, did they win $2000 this weekend. The folks that run this program work their asses off. securing sponsors, running 50/50's, contacting drivers. Its a unique program, I would hate to see it stopped because those that are involved become discouraged by some whiners.

Why do we need the fan fund then when over half the drivers this year would be there anyway?
Please explain why the rules where changed from the original intention of this fund.
Drivers like Jackie Boggs, Dennis Franklin, Jeep Vanwormer are who should be invited and if they turn it down start calling others drivers so see what their interest level is.
