yeah a similar idea to the old simcoe county shoot out execpt
with out peterpatch just cause its so far away.
could do it on long weekend sundays minis thunders and lates
wouldmake for some great shows

Well right off the top of my head I could think of a few big dollar sponsors that might like to get involved in sponsoring such a series!! How bout the CENTENNIAL PLYMOUTH CHRYSLER summer shoot out?? G.D Coates SUZUKI summer shoot out??? St . Onge Recreation Summer Shoot out??? Blue Jay Catering summer shoot out??? ( providing Nigel isnt sponsoring Tommy or that idea might not be the best) Ken McKinnon Construction summer shoot out?? And these are just guys I know from the racing circles already!!! I think we should build on these ideas and propose them to management as well (it cant hurt!!!) Even if we get one or two specials for this season that would be good and then as I say work on building our ideas into a series for 09. I do think it would be possible for this season as well, but to do it properly it would take a full season to organize and get it up and running!!! My take is that if your going to do something put the effort in to do it right the first time that way you avoid leaving a bad taste in peoples mouth a la the WWS!!!! And I know I might take some bashing for suggesting Coates get involved with this, but the one thing about him is he loves his racing and while he can be hard to approach (as far as I hear anyways) I think hes one guy that would be an easy sell on getting involved in some sort of sponsorship level!! And there would be zero conflict of interest with Coates as well as we all know the car hes most involved with races NCATS!!!

good points BFA

I think coates would be a good sponsor...problem is i think it might be near impossible for the two tracks to organize this...

with the new owners maybe some of the old animosity will be gone
and we can all just get on with racing ;D

Corporate sponsorship money is going to help, that's for sure.

I know dirt racing is a little bit different, but those guys get hundreds of cars from all over the U.S. showing up for a $10,000 to win show... Think about a $5000 to win show in Central Ontario.

A Simcoe County Shootout series would be very cool. Maybe a 4 race series, 2 at Barrie, 2 at Sunset, with the overall points winner declared the Big Dog Simcoe County Champion.

You could run the events on a Friday or a Sunday, or on a night the LLM are off at one of the tracks.

Now how about a big Thunder Car superbash, BBQ and race extravaganza? Like the Autumn Colors or Frosty but not cold... Now you're talking 🙂 I'm a little biased...  ;D
