I haven’t seen Joey in a sportsman this year. Cody Stickler is driving the car Joey use to have and won his first feature in his second time out. Joey was racing Robby Aarons figure 8 car at the last Citrus figure 8 race.
$400 Come on now. Now lets see. Gas nearing $4 a gallon, You have to pay to have ur tires stamped or have to buy new ones, Pit entry $25 or $30 per person, each car brings at least 4 people to the pits, Race gas at $8… this is what it will take for me to travel there… truck $120,entry in the pits $100, race gas $100, stamped tires to run in the back $40, new tires to race for the win $500… the least amount of money spent to race…$320 plus food and Drinks. Or we race for the win… $850
So $400 to win. Doesn’t take a Nerd to figure this out.
Very well said. It is a HOBBY at this level. Just like fishing, golf, skiing, etc. Even the Cup guys don’t make money on the purse (except maybe the start and parkers) without sponsorship.
Citrus, sportsmen are racing this weekend. Not sure that Aaron would go down there JUST for a 25 lapper. I have 2 questions for you. Why don’t sportsmen race down there on a normal bacis? You never had them as a weekly class. When Aaron and David were racing down there in 2003 they had to do it in the street stock class. Next why isn’t it a 50 lapper? You would have more racers looking at that then a 25 lapper. As far as the money. Well we have all heard what boneman has said before. And it’s true, but $400.00 isn’t going to draw many Away from their home tracks. Because of the lack of laps and money you may not have alot of those on your list showup.:sport009:
All John did was to invite you to race at his track and look what he gets.
You wonder why some tracks dont post much on here.?..so the @ss holes dont pick them apart.

Again, spot on. I am thankful we have places to race.
Why would anybody want to make the extra drive…have their tires stamped AND run for LESS than what the other tracks offer?The cost to race and maintain a car has gone through the roof but yet the tracks continue to nickle and dime the shit out of the racers…$5 for this, $10 for that and now a tire stamp? Some of these track owners are their own worst enemy and the sooner they learn this the better off they will be. If you are doing this for the money you need to hang it up, but on the flip side the greed that some of these track owners/promoters have is unacceptable. The quicker they learn this the sooner the cars and fans will come back to their facilities.

He siad that we are thinking of having a race for the sportsmen. He gave us the facts about it. And people responded to it with what they were thinking of their idea. What would you have people do just not show up?

I was beating him up? By asking 2 questions? You and I just don’t see the same thing when we look at it Don. Oh and I wasn’t crying next time maybe just no one will post a responce. That make you feel better?
