Just wanted to share tis with you guys.
Chuckie, I love the suggestion. extra bonus points to make all races. that should keep'm committed. I think the 2 race points system is a must, that way they get something for being there if they have a bad race. with that you'd see guys scrambling if they break in a heat to get back and ready for the main. points are important, with the current setup, if you have a bad heat, or even a bad main, it could ruin your season.
I say everybody run a regional series with every series running the same classes, same rules, same fees, etc. take the top 5 "points" finishers from each class for these series and take them to one big showdown at Ashtabula. The US NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. Nick had the idea of every staying back and running regional and doin away with the current setup the other night and we ran with it, spawning newer and even greater ideas. would save every racer tons of cash on the traveling, and then every racer has a true goal to shoot for, and attendance would ski rocket. All the regional promoters kick into the pot so much per entry and that money would go toward helping pay the riders way to the championships, each series could host various fundraisers throughout the season to put money into the fund as well. (2 OF MY KIDS PLAY SOCCER, I'M A FUNDRAISER KING! You may not get all your expenses paid, but wouldn't it be nice if by qualifying to go you got handed a check to pay your hotel, or your entry fees, or food, or gas? wouldn't matter how you spent it, the point is, your series help to pay your way for you to go and represent! I'd even con some of the guys that didn't make it to go along and be a pit crew for me. that way they get to go and you can have some help from fellow riders who want to see you succeed. shouldn't always have to be on Dad's shoulders to turn every wrench and clean everything, not that weekend.
Next, when your team comes to the championships, each rider wears a racer "bib" (that's really what they call them), each bib is a different color representing their team, they will have the event sponsors logo on them, i.e. PEPSI, RED BULL, VERIZON, etc. and we would then have national media coverage from every industry magazine, website, and I could even get TV coverage.
Among all the individual championships we would even have a team championship for the regional team that earns the most points for the weekend. Also, talking about seat time, how about for the championship weekend we use a 3 race format with points paying in each one? no one ever said it had to be 2 races, that was just an idea someone had and it stuck, that's not a law.
just a few thoughts, your opinion!:D
