Short Track Super Series Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just a quick note: after a great conversation this morning with I-88 Speedway co-promoter Jamie Page, we have decided to add a fully-paid B-Main to the next NDRL Short Track Super Series Fueled By VP event at the Afton Fairgrounds on Wednesday, July 23 if the car count tops 50. In addition to the A-main event, all DNQ drivers will be invited to run a B-Mail paying every car. Details will be worked out in the coming days, but we wanted to get the word out now to teams. Additionally, our recycle your entry fee program will be in effect. All drivers unable to qualify Tuesday at Thunder Mountain will receive a free car entry at I-88. Full-season paid members receive a cash refund. www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeman Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Super deal for competitors, fans, and for the promoters to help keep the teams traveling. A very nice deal between special event promoter and track promoters to get more pay to the competitors. One word OUTSTANDING! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 50 years of going to races, and I don't think I've ever heard of a cash refund !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndenyse Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 there was 43 cars that did not qualify at thunder mountain its quite the dnq list to allow in for free the next event, b main is a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmech63 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Great idea and awesome to see some fresh ideas and exceptional promoting. What happens though if there are 40 some non-qualifiers again? Would they be split into two B mains? Will there be top finishers transferring into the A-main? If the mod car counts stay this good maybe it would make sense to have mod only shows without a support class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Birosh Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 This is great news, thank you! Hopefully by then I will be better at keeping the car in one piece on Saturday night so I don't miss the midweek special like I missed Thunder Mountain on Tuesday. Knowning I'll be going home with something makes the decision to come and race that much easier. Thanks again for all the hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predmore13 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 With this many cars i think you have to run a sprint car format with d,c,b, and a mains. Not sure if the drivers would like it but as a fan it would be fun to watch. I am also for timed dashes with an inversion to set heat race lineups.

I thought the same thing as I was reading through this thread. The Brett Deyo NDRL "All Mods all the Time" Series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbutter16x Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 you need a support class these shows cost money to put on plus it gives the headliners time to prepare cars. it sucks when you come off from qualifying and have to head right back out on the track. not much time to make drastic changes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMiller Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 You don't NEED a support class. What you NEED is a well planned break that involves some kind of interesting entertainment that occupies the minds of the fans while track prep is being done. I agree with what you are saying about not having time to make wholesale changes, but you can't keep putting cars on the track when you need to bust the berm or hit it again with water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often thought about this......how about a portable stage with a live band! This would be perfect at I88. Park it in victoy lane , which is on the horse track between the stands and race track. When intermission is over,unplug it and tow it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbutter16x Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I always had the idea of a "band at half time" show for these types of races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
