You better call the track to make sure that they will be open.

Yes, I'll be there Saturday. No tracks around here open, so I'm going to take the 290 mile ride down to hopefully achieve a new best ET.

Copy and paste from the other thread


Rob 11.50 would be .500 tree. the deal is Payout is important there so we sould not do a class for less than $500 to win minimum. In order to do $500 to win we need to be sure of getting minimum 12 entrants to have someothing to go to the runner up.

Over the years of doing this, I have seen about 80% of those in or likely become reality. So really we are looking for 14 hard entries. So far Ellis, clemsondave, Rich Shuleski and I think one other than you said they would do it. Mackey said he would do it I think mostly to support having the class. Steve and I said we would do it for the same reason. If I did not have to, I would not as my hands are full and running two classes is tough without having my hands full. I think Steve would do it for the same reason.

So we are still only looking at 6 or 7 cars Now if I can get a sponsor to foot most, if not all of the payout, then we will go with the class. So if anyone has a lead on someone how might sponsorm for say $500 an 11.50 class that is having trouble building momentum, then we can get it on.

Had another fun day at the Atco , I just got home , went racing this morning , left around 2pm , then had to drive to Pennsylvania , got caught in a huge traffic jam on the way home on the NJ Turnpike , but all in all , it was a great end to my season , ran consistent 9.6's at 145 , took some in-car video , and hung out with a group of Corvette Challenge regulars . See you guys next year , and Happy , Safe , Holidays to all of you .
