New Money Class

[CCS]

One of the suggestions we've received for 2010 is that we create purse paying classes, (one for 600's and one for 1000's), that would cost more to enter but would also pay more back (Projection is for roughly $2000 per class per race, and classes for Amateur and Expert.).  The race would be 20-22 miles in length instead of our traditional 16 mile race and include gridding by lap times instead of order of entry.

To be honest. i would if i knew i would good enough to place high enough to get a decent pay out. but at this particular moment i wouldnt do it because i am a new racer. i voted yes.

[NOBODY]

Amateur?

[Ducmarc]

make a lightwt and we are in   or make team challege type race with some cheeze. we want to do some races like moto st but they have blown the cost out to where we can't do it no spec tires or fuel

[CCS]

Possibly for both Amateur and Experts

I entered several unlimited GP races and finished top three and never recieved any money except once. Pay more for races that payout and and not recieve payouts ? Pay $80.00 to race and no return. If the entry's were not enough then a refund should be given. Maybe your new format will be better.

Before I would consider this...

There would need to be a change in the manner, as to how racers get payed purse money.
As the current "CCS" system stands, I would see this as a waste of money.

Would love to do this.  I think I've been proposing this for years, seldom formally other than a talk with Roger back in probably around '97. 

How did CCS do with Sportbike back in 2003?

I'm with Ducmarc, over half the entries in the Unlimited classes are 600s anyway, why no LW class?

I answered yes, but the more I think about it I don't know....

Its about the same distance as the GT races yet costs more than than the TC/Solo Challenge. The only main differences being qualifying, and some purse payouts?

Now if it were 1 hour/100kilometers (1/2 distance of a TC or Solo Challenge race) payout back to 10th or so and be in the $125 entry fee range that would be about right for me personally.

The TC/Solo challenge races are $175, have a purse (for 1st, 2nd , and 3rd) and are 2 hrs/200kilometers but have no Qualifying, so comparing it to them is what is making me rethink the yes vote and going to the maybe category.

In longer races I don't think qualifying is as big of a deal so instead of taking up time with qualifying for a shorter race, I would nix qualifying and add that time back into the race and grid by entry.

Just MHO.

I voted yes
I like the idea of racing for higher purse. 
Could the races be 16-20 laps w/qualifying times
Payout same day with a check at least?

[600killer]

I voted yes
I like the idea of racing for higher purse but i would also like to see 45 to a hour race for the $200 i would like to spend more time on the track

[Garywc]

I like Jasons idea
I am all for a longer race no qualifying it wastes time.
200 is fine for the entry  if the pay out is going to be good.
maybe 45 mins or 1 hour + 2  laps

[Ducmarc]

if we like team challenge just use it as a pattern so it's 25 more than daytona at least your not paying for the privilege of harley music all night .run saturday afternoon after practice do it a couple times a year per region so if someone wanted they could travel to other tracks    isn't that like wera endurance

I'm with Ducmarc, over half the entries in the Unlimited classes are 600s anyway, why no LW class?

Because it would be easier and quicker to just hand a check to Ed before the race.
