DD Money race!!! -
10-10-2005, 10:47 AM
Ok, so I was feeling kinda lucky after yesterdays race and decided to buy a lottery ticket. Wouldn'tcha know it, I won $50!! So, I'm thinkin' I could use that $50 at the proposed DD race on the 23rd.
I don't know about you guys, but I had one of the most enjoyable racing experiences ever yesterday and I'm not ready for the outdoor season to end!! It was nice not sweating my ass off! And I love the HP the cold air helps my truck make. So let's do this race on the 23rd! All in favor say "I"...

Mich, I must disagree with your statement that it's up to the Dirt Dawgs leaders alone to decide on the 23rd money race.
Obviously veto power is solely Daves' as it's his land. However, as members of this club; much like the representative democracy in which we live, fight and die for; we have the right to petition our elected leaders to represent our desires. And I, like others I'm sure, desire another race. Additionally; I agree with you Slim, there's no reason why there shouldn't be 8-10 vehicles out on each qualifier. If that were done we could easily have 20 min A-Mains. As to the stub axles that were breaking, I'm working closely with the mfr. to solve the problem. I was on the phone with him at 10:30pm last night. It'll be taken care of. I've run other prototype parts before. That's why we race-to test.

There is a club meeting this week I believe. I'm sure it will be discussed. Last I heard from John is that this will be a monster truck, buggy and outlaw cash race. No stadiums and no electrics.
I'll pettition for longer mains and only 2 heats of qualifying since this isn't a sceduled race. "If you cook scallops in a non-stick pan, then they won't stick. That's why they call it NON F@#*$&%G STICK!!!" - Im watching YOU!- roc

THere will be a vote for sure as with everything we decide. We have to figure out a format, costs and etc.
John and Dale and Cory I am sure will talk and get an email out to everyone, and also post it here. What was discussed yesterday was 2 classes MT and buggy. No speration of Outlaw and standard and no buggy seperation. Run two qulaifiers and then the mains. Length of mains to be determined. Also payout would depend on participation. My suggestion would be 2 seven minute qualifiers, at least 8 cars per race, 10 minute C and lower, 20 minute B mains and a 30 minute A main, with 2 bump ups per main. So eight qulaify and 2 bump to give 10 per drivers per main... The big thing is the weather!!!

if it wasnt for the money i would say run them together. Yes there will be a bigger payout if there all in 1 class but the umt guys are almost garunteed to win. Its gonna take one of them breaking for a mt guy to get ahead. There just outright faster. Maybe not by much but in a race it doesnt matter if there 2 seconds faster or 2 minutes there still gonna get the win.

race them together, sure I would love to win the money, but I don't think I would anyway so at that point it is all for fun anyways.
if it's $15 for members and you get a whole race day then it's still well worth it IMO.

What? No $tadium Truck$...Aww too bad, I really enjoy driving that thing...
Can I make a sugestiom for future races. We should start them off on the front straight in front of the drivers stand and drop a flag or something. I think it would make for better starts and better racen. Too much crashing in that first corner.

Kevin, of course you enjoyed racing your stadium truck! When else is one guy going to have 7 marshalls watching his truck?! LOL!!!
OK, for you LSP drivers, you guys know that you'll kill me and any other MT driver. I've admitted it, why don't you? How about this, I'll drive my buddy's Funny Car and you drive a Pro Stock. They look kinda the same right? I'd rather race my Revo against the buggies than the UMTs at Dave's track!! (And I'm not the only sponsored racer BTW) Gabe, since you've already given up, why don't you just hand out $5 bills when you get there? Seriously man, you've got a great shot at MT with your new creation, but it's not a Truggy...
