Punta Gorda Speedway Opening Night Race Preview

[gar352]

The Punta Gorda Speedway will be in action May 29 for its opening night. On the card will be the Open Wheel Modifieds for a 35 lap feature event. You will pull a pill at sign in for your starting position in the heat race and that will determine where you start the feature, for example first heat winner on the pole and 2nd heat winner outside pole and so on. Goodyear treaded is the tire at $106.00 per tire and will be available for purchase at the speedway. Along with the Modified race we will have the Pro4, Fab4, Dwarf Cars, Road Warriors, Legends, Bandolero's and Mini Cups. There is a $5.00 fee for pit slabs on a first come first serve basis, although your overall tow vehicle length will determine your slab location. There will be practice on Friday May 28 for 4 hours, 4PM till 8PM free of charge for all classes.

who is gar 352 hope you are right about pay out

on open wheels we were not going to race there ;; even thou we liked the track . question is this going to be the regular payout each time we race

if it is it's about time some one had a purse that did not drop off so much

if you really wanted to pack the open wheels in here"S my nickles worth

pay 800.00 to win if got 24cars then 600.00 for second .475.00 for third then work it back like you did earlier and you will get plenty of cars and pack the stands when you are getting 300.00 for tenth place kinda makes you feel better knowing you made enough to pay for gas to get to race track

i know this is probably to good to be true

This will be the regular payout for the modifieds. Kevin Williams and Mike Chase are racers and understand the economics of racing, this will be typical of all payouts at the new Punta Gorda Speedway as this will make a more even playing field for all the racers. Hope to see you on the 29th.

I am impressed Greg finally signed his name to a post on what is going on at the new Punta Gorda Speedway so people know he is the new Speedway Coordinator. I have noticed that that he does not post his phone number up on post must be it does not want to take any calls from anyone about problems. I know he has not answered any of my e-mails of phone calls.

Would be very nice to see the rest of the payout for the rest of the classes I know many drivers have been asking about it.

Tires

Now that the track is back to Good Years, is that what everyone is going to have to run on next time out? Or can we run on the Americans that were bought from the track and are almost brand new?
