How about a compromise for 2008. A small series of say 2 races, 1 at Sunset and 1 at Barrie, do both on a Sunday afternoon in say late August and book it in now but not on any Sunday that would interfere with another tracks Sunday invitational. You could run heats, a consi and a main feature. Also throw in a pure stock A feature in the middle before the LLM A main to bring up the fan count. This would go a long way to start a relationship between two competing tracks. They would both benefit the same from this mini series with the hope of growing it into a much larger one the following year. It could be promoted to the public as a rival shootout between 2 rival tracks making for some great hype and action. I think Spencer could certainly bring that point to life along with Dave doing the write ups. This would set very good building blocks to build on for the following year. With any reasonable success a large corporate sponsor would want a piece of that next year. Call it The Simcoe County Shootout or something like that. Sorry about keeping this going but I hate to give up on anything !!

If you want it that bad, you could make it "unofficial", with a "random" sponsor saying "You'll get paid X amount of dollars, depending on where you finish, for showing up for this race at Barrie and this race at Sunset..."

For sure dont give up BIG DOG!!!! I think if we get the right people involved theres no time like the present to get this going!!! I tell you one thing quitting isnt in my blood either and contrary to popular belief I am somewhat intelligent and have a certain way around words!!LOL I would even go so far as to approach some local businesses myself to see who we might be able to get involved in at least coming up with the $$ to have at least one race at each track!! I think that would be the building block for the series in 09. And I have a few really good ideas on how to attract lots of cars to show up as well!!! The nascar license would have to be worked out for sure but I dont think the extra insurance would be too pricey for a one day race event!! There is alot of small things you woulndt think of first hand such as booking the Paramedics and getting the speedway officals to commit as well but I think we could make this happen for sure!! Maybe we should meet for coffee one night BIG DOG and discuss the possibilities and good ideas on who to approach for sponsorship!!! Let me know what you think! I'm free most nights but we'd have to meet in Barrie at a Timmy's or something!!!

Race track promoters are busness people. I would imagine if they are making money the bottom line is the bottom line.

If you want this thing to work for 2009, as competitors you need to be on your best behavior and look your best for 2008...
