Question: Which Florida short track feature will have the richest winners purse in 2011???
The Snowball Derby? Probably Not
The Governors Cup? Nope
The Dirt Late Model Winternationals at East Bay, or Volusia Speedway? Nope
Answer: Florida’s richest short track feature in 2011 will likely be the INOX Lubricants 100 from Cross Roads Motorplex, in Jasper, FL, paying $25,000 to the winner! (with a $50,000 GUARANTEED purse!).
After last year’s then-record $20,000-to-win karting event on November 27, 2010 in Batesville, MS… INOX Lubricants and the Cross Roads Motorplex in Jasper, FL wanted to do something to create the largest winners payout in history!
These types of big-money events often draw many car racers, along with the top karting “money races” in the country, and this one is sure to be no exception. Cross Roads Motorplex is one of the prettiest tracks in the state, and it’s sure to be a great night of racing. If you’ve never watched one of these big money races, then you are in for an entertainment treat… there is always a lot of excitement both on, and off the track. The INOX Lubricants 100 is expected to roll off at around 7:30pm.
This is very exciting new you me and it sounds very inviting to me race team. Cross Roads Motorplex in my opinion is one of the nicest karting tracks in the country and our good friend Wade Murphy (owner) keeps the place spotless with a fresh coat of paint every time you go there. And another friend Jimmy Sims is one of the best karting promoters in the world. Teamed up with Josh Robbinson it should be an unbelievable event.
My family has had great success at that track. I won my first WKA eagle at that track 21 years ago when I won the event and was flipped after the checkers going in to turn one while I had both hands in the air celebrating my win. Jimmy Sims said he will never forget that race as long as he lives. I started last 27th (last) after my pole qualifying time was disallowed. I only lead the race for about 75 yards on the last lap.
My older son Mark lead the first lap after starting 9th in the very first Florida Unlimited Allstars event ever held. With a 28 hp Yamaha only to finish 2nd to Blaze Martin with an 80 hp twin cylinder beast of a kart. The Unlimited are running in the 12 second range there now on a 1/4 mile clay track that is the same size and shape as Alburndale’s (sp) car track with less banking. I’m pretty sure I could run in the 11’s at Alburndale with the Unlimited I have now.
My other son Dustin held the single lap track record for a stock Briggs and Stratton their for a long time until the carburetor rules were changed in karting. He has won many WKA and FKA karting championship that also visited that track. He also won the WKA Winter National Championship eagle at Jasper in 2004 as one of the youngest in the class with people like Lucas Ranson stand next to him on the podium. He also 2nd to John Kidwell in his portion of the World 100 after getting wrecked in the first turn and coming from last with no yellow. He didn’t even no who was leading until kidwell took the checkers one kart length in front of him at the line.
Needless to say we love this place. This will be a great event and I am already calling some of our old karting sponsors and trying to put together a national level power plant for my son to compete in this event.
We are already working on our Unlimited for the big " King of the Outlaws" event at Fruitland Park later this month. There is nothing more exciting in motorsports than racing an unlimited kart. This comes from my driver who has driven everything from karts to street stocks to trucks to late models to gt 977 to daytona prototypes to the fastest production vehicle on the planet on a closed course. An Arial. You should come and see this event.
Do you know why kids like Chase Elliott, Ross Kensith, Ryan Blaney and all of the other big name kids never raced karts. Because you can’t
Because they can’t buy a win. It takes real talent to win at this level of karting and they just don’t have that kind of talent to do it. If they can’t but a win with money the don’t let there kids get in evolved. That is why they don’t come thru karting. When you go to a big kart race and third is over 150 in your class and they take 20 in first round and they qualify 128 they go home crying and they never return. I have seen it for years.
Sorry about the jumped post but I am doing this on an iPad and I will go into this I a later post.
If this the same apk power from bobs and I think it is. You are the wheel man. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha:aetsch013:
I really like Dave Blaney. He’s a real good driver and he is a pretty cool just to sit next and talk about our son racing experience. You see. A couple of years ago my son and Dave’s son started on the front row of the ASALMS Southern Division at Orange Co. In N. Carolina. We each got to sit on our son’s front fender and bs for about a half hour about how good our sons could drive. It was good old bench racing at it best. I thing I won by a half a straight away. Lol but any way. After the autograph session they lined us up right from there to take the green flag. Ryan Blaney on the pole and Dustin Dunn on the outside. They take the green and Dunn get a great start and Blaney loops it in three. Complete restart. On the second start we lead the first lap and by about lap 12 or 13 when we were coming up behind Blaney to lap him he put it in the wall. That was the first ASA race we lead and we finished on the podium.
What people don’t understand which makes our accomplishments much harder than the Blaney’s and the Elliott’s is that Daves car was a brand new 2009 best of the best ultimate light weight super polish friction free coated lowest viscosity lubricant ceramic bearing carbon fiber body magnesium hubs fracture ford blue oval bullet that money. And I got a 1996 GAC (Frankie Grill) road racin perimeter that I traded a blower up fastruck and 5k. Ever since than I haven’t been that impressed with the driving talent of most of these big name kids. It wasn’t much different when we race Bills. We started side by side. We stotted together we ran nose to tale for 80 laps and we finish that way. Them 7th us 8th.
I sure we have a much better shot of seeing Dustin Dunn trying to win this $25.000 than we do of any of those big name kids from NASCAR. The only kid with a big name daddy I would expect to MAYBE see at this event would be Dustin’s buddy Kevin Swindell. You know why? Because it will take REAL TALENT to even make the start field. I don’t believe those kids possess that kind of driving talent. This is JMO from many past experiences.

Before you knock old cars too hard, i know a young man who won a LM division AND track championship in 2010 a chassis that was built in 1990. And ya, it was FASTER than all the new high dollar rich kids cars…and you know where i am. The heart of rich daddy thinks my kid is the next JJ of NASCAP country. You go a kart? go get tha 25K and get you LM back on the track. That’s a hell of a payout for a Kart race. Maybe someday a PROMOTER will step up a put together a Fla race for the big cars, when i say promoter that is what i mean. Not these track owners or computer geeks who call themselves promoters. I will be down for speedweek, hope to see some peeps.

60 races run in the us with a standard $116.000 purse and a $160,000 total outout.
Anyone rember that…
$100,000 to win endroo… Balls promotions OSW speedweeks that was funy
SUPPER 8 series or as we called it the 2 and a half folly
the big money is like a girl in a short skirt. the closer you get the worse she looks.
Benny. We do still have some karts. I still race mine now and than. I have an unlimited 2 cycle that is 56 hp and weights 310 lbs with me in it. It wit run about 135-140 mph It is a blast. I have already secured all new national level equipment. They said “if Dustin will be willing to run under our banner we will give him what ever he needs”. And I’m not knocking old chassis if that is all you can afford. But what I am saying is that a new 2011 hamke with all of the light weight, polished and coated, ceramic bearing, carbon fibered unlimited stuff that only millions like Elliott can afford gives them a major mojor advantage over someone like us. Elloitt’s has more money in the reared assemble than I have in my entire car. If you add in shocks It I could buy another car. My car 12k his car 60k.
Ron. With that being said. That is how I rate Bill’s kid. They have stuff that is 5 times better than our stuff. I am not an average fan. I am in the field, I bs with him in the drivers meeting, I pit next to them, I eat in their hauler, their team changes my tires because they know it is just me and my son at the rase and during the race I am spotting and there is nobody in our pits. I don’t just read about him Internet. I have in side knowledge.
The race that Chase just won about a week ago. Somebody rated him as being one of the top 5 short track drivers in the country. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha … Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha … Get up off of the floor. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha … Catch breath haha ha ha ha ha. Ha h ahha. Ah shit that was the funniest stupidest most uneducated thing he ever said. I still can’t believe he said it in public. That confirms he is just an average fan. I think I got my breath now.
Who many of you know, how many and who had the only Blue Oval D347 sealed engines that came from “the Ford Motor Co factory” based on the new 2011 Coyote Mustang in that race. I do and I know where they finished. Every time they run them they get weight added to them. The little 25lbs they add just ain’t doing it. To think that elliott’s equipment is even remotely in the same ball park is just absurd. It isn’t even close to the competition. And then he said he didn’t even run away with it. Dah earth to fan. Bill probably told Chase. If you run away with it again I am going to beat you ass. They are going to catch on to what we got. They are already adding weight. I will park your ass if you do it again and put Casey Roderick in the car and show you how drive. Don’t push me. I will leave you ate home with your mamma.
A lot of you really think you know what is really going on at the track by what you read on the Internet but you need to keep an open mine. You could take any 16 yr old WKA national kart champion and put him in Chase Elliott’s position for a few weeks and you will get the same results. Probably better. There are hundreds if not thousands of kid who possess his level of talent that just don’t have the money and fracture backing to get to that level.
But I’m sure we won’t to worry about his money trying to win the $25,000 because it will take real talent to win this $25,000 and you can’t buy that with every dime that Elliott has and every dime that he can borrow.
Ron, I did want to say. It ain’t braggin if you can back it up. I can back up what I say. Thousands of people in the racing community know me from being a racer, a track owner, and a team owner. When I say my son won 105 races in 109 starts in a single year, or when I say thay he was the first kid under 16 to win at speed weeks at the world series, or I say he has 421 circle track wins, or he has driven daytona prototypes or on and on you don’t see one person even remotely try to come on here and dispute what I say. Why do you think that is Ron.
I will say if Elliots group helped you out as much as you say and are willing to change your tires and stuff it doesn’t seem to bother you to get on here and talk crap about them.
If Elliots stuff is 10 times better and he could bury the field in the dirt if he wanted to then he must be living up to expectations.
I didn’t mean for this thread to turn into a negative.
Many (if not most) car racers still have deep roots in karting, whether it’s through friends, relatives, or fans, and I simply wanted to put the word out about this race.
INOX Lubricants is a class company, and they are doing a lot to help the racing community. I hope some of you stopped by their booth at the PRI Show. It was impressive.
Ok Mr South 59,
I will say that I’m NOT a kart fan.
And I AM a huge Bill Elliot fan.
You probably think I’m gonna bash you now huh ?
NOPE
I too hate the way the system of who has the most money to bring to the table gets to have the best opportunities. cough Danica.
John Wes Townley* ho ho ho !
But after enduring Bill’s start and putz around testing of the new Ford motor for the Wood Brothers I’ve had little to cheer for in Nascar with Jimmy Johnson and all.
So I’m not going to fault a dad giving his son everything he can afford to give him to get him to where he hopes he’ll go.
That would be you OR Bill .
I do remember going to Daytona in 1985 and watching Bill run away with several races that year. Then when the changes coming down from above to slow him down raise the Ford roofs and speed up the GMs.
I listened to an interview with Richard Petty about Bill.
He said "If I had a car that good I would be the only one to know it. I wouldn’t be winning by a lap or coming from 2 laps down to win ".
Maybe Bill is taking a page from the King’s book with this new motor?
Anyway I just wanted to say that because your story reminded me of when I could cheer for Bill back in the day.
Chase will make me start watching Nascar again.
Hey Mr South 59,
before you start bashing people, why dont you get your facts straight. who gives a crap what these kids last names are? they were born with it, so what. ryan, chase and ross have earned a name for themselves. yeah they might have money, but thats how life is. ryan blaney is one of the hardest workers out there. he is at the shop everyday, works on his cars at the track, and shows his talent on the track. how many times do you go to a race and see kids in their sunglasses, acting all cool, not doing one thing to their car. they make everyone else work on it. also, where are you getting this crap from the Orange County race? Ryan was punted on lap 7 and was done for the night. He was not about to get lapped and did not spin out by himself so I do not know why you are making that crap up? ALSO, Dave Blaney would never “brag” or “bullshit” about how good his kid is. You obviously dont know the blaneys very well. Ryan Blaney didnt race karts because they are dangerous and dave didnt want his son in one. And karts is full of cheaters. You probably dont even know, but Ryan raced quarter midgets his first 4 years of racing, and was very very successful, then moved on to bandoleros, legends, and then late models. So he didnt just hop in a late model cause he has money.
So please, I know you think you kid is the God of racing, and if it makes you feel good to make up lies, and bash kids who have done NOTHING to you, then you must have alot of time on your hands. These kids have worked hard, and they are HUMBLE about it.
