Blackflagagain Wouldn't 28 to 30 Limited Lates at Barrie and running a consi or B main make for some awsome racing ? Now that would be a Saturday night shoot out. Do any members have any ideas on how to attract that many cars to Barrie ? Perhaps with a special purse for the B main ? Random finishing draw or something ? I would step up to joint sponsor some thing like that with my company ( Big Dog Tire Recyclers ) if we could pull someone else in for the other half ? Any ideas or other sponsors willing to step up ? I'm sure we could sell that idea to management !! That would help attract other LLM's who might think that they can't run up front so they don't travel the distance to Barrie ? Any interest or input ?
its nice to see fresh ideas like this bigdog and someone who is willing to put their money where their mouth is. Barrie will be a better place to have you back
Simple answer on how to get 30 LLM's to barrie. Run Sunset Sundays and Barrie Saturday or vise versa and you would get your cars. Do a joint point fund between the 2 tracks for a overall champion. We know that this will never happen but it is the only way you will ever see that many cars at Barrie and just think how good the racing would be.
Racer you are absolutely right especially about that it will never happen .
The only thing that could happen is something like a six race Sunday afternoon series alternating Sundays between Barrie and Sunset with at lest 2 weekends off between events. That spreads the racing over 15 weeks giving teams twice as many sundays off as they are racing . Make them 50 laps for LLMs , 40 laps for TCs , and 30 laps for MSs . Time trial all of them then run a 10 lap Trophy Dash for the six or eight fastest cars in each division and a 10 lap fat chance for the non qualifiers and thats it . Keep the show short and sweet and invert the top 10 cars for the features. Offer a modest point fund for the first year to get guys to come out to all six races.
I can see it now The Big Dog Summer Shoot Out Series
Me thinks you guys are dreaming...
Nice thoughts and ideas, but I don't think it would ever happen. Now what was the name of the certain Eagles album?
After all we are talking about Sunset and Barrie...
I enjoyed the Frosty Special, and I will be attending more Invi's but these ideas I think will remain just that. 41 Thunder Cars showed up for that event, but there was no other racing in Ontario that weekend.
Big Payouts may entice some LLM Shootout action at BSW. Big Dog is on the right track with some corporate money to help out. The NASCAR membership issue would of course have to be worked out. Big Dog do you have any Corporate friends who might be as generous as you?
