Major Track Fundraiser
Good evening everyone, as with most I struggled with the disappointment of losing our 2020 race season. There's no one that eats, sleeps and breathes racing as much as myself, so when all this covid stuff hit and our season became in jeopardy I'll be the first to admit my selfishness came out.... " i have to race, the tracks need to open, i work my butt off to race all summer."
Well while the last statement is true, I can and will survive not racing in 2020. After taking the time to sit back and look at the big picture I've decided to step up and try to help rather than sit back and cry over some spillt milk. I'm not gonna pretend to know whats involved in owning, managing or running a track nor do I desire to find out. I do know there is no easy decisions and its impossible to please everyone, with that, in this crazy unprecedented time I 100% trust all their decisions to make the call they believe is in the best interest of their individual tracks.
I along with alot of people I have talked with have called it a season on the racing front for one reason or another. We have one track that has already pulled the plug on the season and if the others don't and do get a few weekends in I'm willing to bet it'll be far far away from profitable. I for one don't want these tracks to struggle and to have one hesitation in opening full boar in 2021. So far in 2020 I would have went to probably 4 races so far, $300 in gate entrance, $130 in gamblers and pro tree, $800 in fuel and $25 for sand 😉. Thats and easy $1200 and were only 1/3 into the season, so why not try and help the places I consider my 2nd home. Darrell Poole approached me back a couple of weeks ago basically saying the same thing I just rambled on about. If each of us racers can give just alittle bit back compared to what we would have spent already I think it would go along way. Here's what we came up with......
2020 Cluster*×#* NO RACE, RACE SERIES
This is a 3 race fundraising series that the #1 goal in mind is to help the tracks that allow us to fill our addiction. But also to give alittle back to the racers who have helped support. Each race the entrants will donate what they normally pay at the gate, e.g. our 1st Race will be for Greenfield Dragway so donation will be,
Super Pro $70
Pro $60
Sportsman $50
Bike/Sled $50
Junior $15
Spectators $15
Once all entries are in, I will go live and match up everyones names with a #. Where the race part comes in, i will then match up your name with a racers name from an individual race at a nhra national or divisional event qualifying ladder. The entry who's driver wins or goes the farthest gets a GOLD CARD FOR FREE ENTRANCE FOR THE YEAR FOR YOUR CLASS AT THAT TRACK. 2nd place will get an electric trailer jack for their efforts. Spectators (wives, pit crew) that donated will have their own prize and will be kept separate. Winning spectator will receive a $250 Canadian Tire Gift Card (Courtesy of Todd and Tracy Chase), and 2nd place spectator will get a $100 Visa gift card (Courtesy of AFN Trackside Grill in Greenfield)
ALL DONATION MONIES GO DIRECTLY TO THE TRACK WE ARE RACING FOR....
Now where the 3 race series comes in, once the 3 fundraising races are complete i will tally up the points and a overall winner will receive a $1000 gift certificate for DWA automotive. 2nd place will win a 40 slot Grade 8 Bolt Bin fully stocked. Other prizes are pending....
PLEASE GUYS AND GIRLS DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED WHAT WE GOT IN 3 AMAZING TRACKS. THIS SUPPORT WILL GO ALONG WAY IN KEEPING OUR PLAYGROUND FULL OF RUBBER AND THE SWEET SMELL OF C12....
Please comment on this post if your in and then send money to: tonymacneil@yahoo.com as e transfer or PayPal as family and friends....
