🚨 RACERS…… VERSION 2.0 🚨
‼️ UPDATED ‼️
Hey all!
Hope your off season is starting out to be a good one. With all sorts of hunting going on, rifle season over, national banquet over, that means the holidays are about here.
We have been working on different races and events for the 2026 season.
I have been contemplating on what to do to for 2026. I hate even asking racers as I’ve done it before and people say they’ll be here every Sunday, then race twice a year, or people get loud and make a scene but never once race our track, etc
We had sponsors step up for 3 years with a really good track points payout….didn’t seem to help car counts much.
I’ve seen other tracks and promoters offer big payouts and get 25-30 cars.
We had great weekly payout that paid deep on the field to help everyone who showed up, from 1st-24th.
I totally understand Sundays are hard, economy is tough right now.
We have some ideas, we want your opinion.
Ideas-
Race 5 classes a week and pay like we have been with the pretty decent pay from 1-24th.
Race 4 classes each week and pay high payouts, example like $1000 to win higher classes then $500-$750 to win lower classes and good payback. 4 classes would alternate every other week, so your class would race bi-weekly but more money
EXAMPLE-
Week one-
Lates-MWM-Streets-Hornets
Week Two -
Mods - Superstocks - Mod 4 - Crown Vic’s

$140
$130
$120
$110
$100 to start
Race 5-6 classes every other week and have a week off so you can race elsewhere and pay $1000-$1500 to win each class
Race 6-7 classes per week, lower weekly pay, example $700 late models $500 mods, $350 supers, $350 b mods, $300 streets, etc but don’t pay as deal and then have a nice points fund at the end of the year. Like $3500 LM, $3500 mods, $2500 supers, $2500 b mods, $2000 streets, $1500 mod 4, $2000 hornets, $2000 crown Vic’s and pay top 10 in points.
OR- pay $500 points fee at the very first race for th bigger classes and $250 for lower classes and do a normal weekly pay, then do a big points fund like $5000 for 1st and $1000 for 10th in the bigger classes and $2500 for first and $500 for 10th in the lower classes
I know racing is expensive, Time Is valuable, so what would be best?
💥 Or…….what if we go unsanctioned and have all classes open sanction, like cedar lake? 💥
Thanks for your input-
