Syndicate Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have spoke with Steve Earwood from the ROCK and we got to talking. How many people would show up for a $20,000 prize shootout. I would also want to know what would be the best way to catorigize the final cars. I.E. one winner takes all or 5k spread across four different classes. Ideas like that. I would bring in alot of other entertainment aswell. Carshow and all with the 20k race event. And before you say "if" it happened. Most know I have the cash to lay out on the line for the 20k payout. So any positvie ideas for the event would be great. Me and Steve also talked about getting Espn2 or someother people to cover the event. Might hold a few of these acorss the east if it works out well. I was thinking $50 to enter the event with a 400 car cap, and 20 to watch since there will be tons of stuff to look at and do at the event. I will add that this event will be an ALL weekend event. Money race, night racing, carshow, stage events, bikini contest, free camping etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndicate Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Any class breakdown ideas? I don't think there should be just a 10.5 class like PINKS does. I have already spoke with a few companies about throwing in some parts with the cash prizes. I will be at SEMA this year speaking with more companies about the event aswell.

jnjdragracing Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 We will enter...... I would break it down in about 6 diffirent classes. 8,9,10,11,12,13 or more second classes. Then run a bracket race for each group with a payout of $1000.00 per 2nd place, then $2000.00 1st place. Then group the winners together for another bracket race. You must dial in your car and if you run faster then you loose. Then have the finales with the faster cars spotting the slower cars with a 3rd place, 2nd place, then winner with dollar amounts. You will choose who runs who with a draw. Example draw one name, then another they run with a dial in. etc.... Payouts would be up to you. I would not allow electronics, like throttle stops, but have them foot braking, no trans brake etc. It would make for an interesting race. I would only except door cars, no dragsters or pro mods. Just some ideas....... Like I said, count us in. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also throw this out there. I have offered this to every website I have posted this on. I will post shops, retailers, etc on our website and on the advertising fliers free of charge in return for those said shops to help spread the word for the event. I woud also love for some of you video gurus up here to make a DVD of the event and we would sell those DVDs at other promotional events we go to and some of the money would go back to this website to help with growth and support.
