The absolute worst thing that could be done concerning this race. Is waiting to the last minute to dot the I's and cross the T's. Every single loose end should be tied up well before race-day. If changes are going to be made, it need's to be done, RIGHT NOW! And start getting the word out on these changes. The reason races like the World Footbrake Challenge, or the Spring Fling, are getting car count's in the hundreds. Is because it happen's once a year. And a lot of promoting is done before-hand. You just can't throw these thing's together and expect them to work. You may want to seriously consider postponing this race until you get thing's in place.

You just can't throw these thing's together and expect them to work. You may want to seriously consider postponing this race until you get thing's in place. This race has been on the schedule since I built the website. It has been stickied on the forum since March 4th. It has been printed on every schedule I handed out at the front gate. Its been on here just as long as my June heads up shootout. So its up to you bracket racers to support me if you want me to continue running bracket racing at the track. These are the options we have: I can leave it how I have it and you guys can choose to support me or not, and if not I just wont do it again. OR The payout as advertised with the 50 cars is a total of $5700. We can have a drivers meeting the day of the race and you guys can vote on how we split the $5700. If we don't get the 50 cars I will pay out 100% and you guys can vote on how to split the money from the total entry fee's. IF you guys choose to vote on the day of the race then these will be your options for 50 entries: $5000 Win $500 R/U $100 Semi Or $3000 Win $1500 R/U $500 Semi $50 Quarters Its a little more difficult to make options for less than 50 entries just because I don't know if we will have 25 cars or 49 cars. You guys can give me some suggestions and we will go from there.

Don't really care how you do it. Just happy to have a place to race. We have been looking forward to this race for awhile. Any payout is a good payout. Thanks for giving us bracket racers a place drag race. Most of all to have fun.

I have learned in the past that having drivers meetings only waste lots of time and opens yourself up to a thousand stupid questions (what if, what if, what if). Wait untill you are down to 8 cars and then let them vote on pay-out. The correct way to do double tech cards is - Have 2 groups, Group A and B. Sell one of each tech cards as cars come through the gate. In the end you should have close to equal groups. Run the groups separately, with other classes in between (for cool down) then merge them when you get down to 8 in each class.

Thanks Randall, that is probably whats going to happen because i hate drivers meetings. And that is how we are doing the tech cards...two colors.

I promise you Mr. Prado, if I'm lucky enough to get to the late round's. I don't care what the pay structure is. I'm not going to split with anyone, for any reason. Let the chip's fall as they may.

So I asked 1 question in an unrelated thread and I am starting nuts? Joe answered the question and I have posted nothing else and it was not in this thread. Jimmy is his adviser, lots of Jimmy's ideas are being tried... Everyone gets it now! You want to drag an unrelated thread to this one for some reason... Whats your beef?
