skimmed the rules.... other than a working brake light, we wired a trailer light to the switch last year and mounted it on the trunk lid. A Bone stock should be good to go
not sure bout weekly Bone stock events, but Friday night every now and then could work. Would the bone stock teams get impatient / grumpy waiting till the last event of the night to run tho? If not, why not? More back gate $$$ and more butts up top to support their fav Bone stock drivers....
The Bone Stocks do have a Friday show upcoming (July 5). Waiting until the end of the night should not prove to be a major issue, the events start at 7:30 pm and have been wrapping up in good time as designed.
The series is not conducive to running weekly: too hard on budgets for entry-level and becomes too time consuming for entry-level teams. Teams that have the ability and crave a higher level of competition and wish to run weekly should move up at that point (also as designed). The goal is to keep the series largely as is and encourage competitors to move up as they look for additional challenges, rather than adjusting the current series to fit their needs and excluding potential newcomers.
The rules are similar to ChumpCar with the exception that the entry fees are not subsidized at all. From what I understand ChumpCar is a $500 entry per event. Granted, you get more time in the car than we currently offer, but the rates are a lot steeper.

A MiniStock class would work for Friday's, but not Bone Stocks. Too mush prep if you're wheels get banged up. Give Mini's camber, weights, rules like dirt guys do. Keep costs below $3000, and people will come in droves. Here's a good set to pull from......

One thing I have seen is Delaware is terrible at letting rules get stretched to suit higher dollar guys. Sorry guys, I love the place but it is true time and again, and it's been proven with low counts across the board. I love this place, but this is one sore spot for most guys. Pay particular attention to the handicapping rules, LEAVE them in place, and have full fields.

There's a reason most people are in the bonestocks 1st of all it's racing and 2nd of all it's the cheapest,it's also being used as entry level racing to get people to move up in the classes.But the next cheapest(if you wanna call it that) is enduro,most people are not gonna take the next step up when you get the same amount of races and it costs way more to be the least bit competitive( and a dying breed). We did just the opposite jumped ship on the enduro's and built two bonestocks and still won't spend near the amount to be competitive and having a hellva lot more fun.I have friends that only will come to the enduro/bonestock races and other friends that only come to Friday night shows and i'm sure lots of folks are like that.So by mixing the Sat guys with the Fri guys could be the ticket to getting the fans interested in the racing that they normally won't go see.Maybe it will introduce more fans in the seats on race days as well as get more cars on the track.Here's hoping next Fri is as entertaining as this past Sat was.
On a side note(John) will it be standard that the top 3 cars in points start at the back or the top 3 from the previous race. Just curious
