You managed to forget to post the purse for each race. After being forced to buy 2 tires and some Snoko, the purse better pay back all the way through the field to cover that entry fee and the mandatory add ons. .

Triple Crown

I believe Bronson may have hit on something. This is different from what most tracks are doing for the Sportsman class at the moment. I wish them the best. I will be there to race.

tires/fuel

So put us on a tire that will last longer so now tracks require a tire purchase? And what are the cars with crate motors suppose to do with racing fuel? any legal crate motor runs 93 pump gas. Not worth the drive for me sorry.

Right on, Aaron. Hilarious that they resisted having racing fuel there for so long, now that they have it they require a class where most of the cars don't need it to buy it!

I like racing at Bronson but there are too many hoops to jump through to have a shot at the "big" purse on race 3. BTW, that "big" purse is still less than half of what Adale is paying Saturday (with no tire and fuel requirements).

Also, are the cars that only show up for the finale expected to pay a $50 entry fee to run 50 laps for $400 to win?

Honestly in my opinion this is a good idea with the exception of requiring everyone to be there all 3 races to get full purse. Nobody down here in the Lakeland area is going to drive 2 1/2 hours to race 25 laps for $400 to win, however a handful of us will go for 35 laps $800 and 50 laps $1200. If that eliminates us from the bbq and case of oil so be it. I honestly don't have a major issue with a $50 entry fee for a $1200 to win race, although nobody else charges that anymore. The fuel purchase is also crazy... the majority of the cars that would come use crate motors and run 93 octane.

As I said, I think you guys have a good idea, just needs to be adjusted if you expect people to travel for it.

A good start would be a guaranteed $1000 to win 50 lapper (no car count stipulations) at least 2 weekends apart from anybody else's 50's and no conflicts nearby. No entry fee, no required purchases and impound tires (if they know how to check them). If they simply did this me, and no doubt a lot of others like Aaron and Craig, would be there. This Triple Crown thing is just going to draw the same 6-8 cars that are already racing there. How about taking a chance on something that will actually draw cars for a change?

You're using logic here Scott, you know better than that

Triple Crown

I will have to say , I traveled up there last year for a 50 lapper $1000 to win 9 cars showed up. The track advised they were going to cut the purse due to the money was based on 10 cars. Thanks to Robbie Cooper and another who I don't remember they found a businessman in the stands and he put up money. The winner received the $1000, I finished 3 and I received $250 with a tore up race car.
