Friday night heads up class?

[jeffhefler]

Looking for some creative ideas on a heads up class for Friday nights at Wichita Raceway Park...Maybe not every Friday night but atleast every other Friday night..Maybe a 275/60 drag radial tire?...
I have been around long enough to know that you can never put "Heads up" and "affordable" in the same sentence as we have all seen a classes created and eventually it gets out of hand and someone with the big bucks messes the class up for everyone..I know certain rules are designed to level the playing field and it does to a certain degree....Just need to keep it very simple ( so you get a descent amount of cars in it) and most importantly keep it FUN!....
From my experience of running a race track i would get 2-3 phone calls a week from racers wanting a heads up class and the rules they wanted just so happen to fit there current car exactly ( go figure LOL).... So we need to figure something out that will get some cars out of the garage, on the track and on the rear bumper!!

We have only have two rules at WRP....#1 Be safe, #2 Have FUN!

WRP opens Friday March 23...

I heard some other tracks are trying 6.00 index racing

ok here is a idea. heads up stuff like what was put on march 17th sat at denton...packed house...
275 radial rules wide open with "no bars" 5.20 cap 200.00 entry 2500.00 to win if 16 cars showed. well 16 showed but 3 broke.
then i would do
5.80-6.20-7.00 idex
gridge racing. THAT is it. for a sat race...that way spect. can show up.. which spect. will show if heads up racing is there and advertise. it will be as big as a top sportsman or promod race.

but as you know if the track prep is not kept up like texas raceway and northstar or redline. small tire guy

thanks jerry humphrey

here is the flier from the race. and rules.

We will try some different things but we are not located in the DFW metroplex surrounded by millions of people....

I have had guys promise me that they would bring X amount of cars and usually only 20-30% of them actually show up...

We will also try some index races with 80% payback to see if there is any real interest...

My group knows all them guys.. we put on a race in a disclosed area had 22 cars show...close to 200 spects. paid 2500 1000 4XX in the semis.

most of the people that was there was from out of state. If houston will travel past wf to got to tulsa and noble and ardmore they will . show. just got to put up the money...
