JD has asked me to post the following to everybody so here it is:

Hi Everyone!!!

We want to start off by thanking EVERYONE for coming out last night. We had a great car and fan count for our first night of racing.

We know we had some glitches, that is part of why we wanted to run these "exhibition" races this fall, so we can work out the bugs before we kick off the new season in the spring.

1.  The concession stand ran out of food, we will be more geared up for the next race.

2.  The check-in process was a little confusing and we will be working on a better way to work that out this week.

3.  The track was extremely dusty toward the end of the evening and we are going to work on that as well.

4.  The biggest complaint about the evening came from the drivers, regarding payouts.  We didn't realize that the payout was going to be such an issue.  We are currently revamping the  payout schedule and will be posting that by Monday.  The top end purse may not be as large;  so that we can pay all of the drivers who take the green flag in the feature something.  Just as for this week, the guarantee will be based on a 15 car turnout.  If we have less than15 cars,the guarantee will be prorated based on the number of cars.  For example, if the 15 car guarantee is $200 and we only have 12 cars,we will pay 80% of the purse or $160 to the first place winner. The remaining purse to be spread out from second to eleventh place.

This fall is an attempt to bring both drivers and fans to the track. We are working hard to make this track a great place to be.  Please be patient with us and our growing pains.  We will be correcting all of the problems listed above.  If you have any other comments or concerns, please contact me directly at:  jd@....

And here is his schedule for the remainder of the season:

 Same classes, every Friday night through October 10th
                September 5
                September 12
                September 19
                September 26
                October 3
                October 10

And here is the Payouts for next Friday's events:

DRIVER PAYOUTS FOR SEPTEMBER 5, 2008

Below are the payouts per class for next Friday's race.  All classes are based on a car count of 15.  If we have less than 15 cars in any class, the payout will be prorated on a percentage basis. For example, in the Mini-Stock/Mosquito class, if we have 12 cars, the payout will be 80% of what is listed here, so 1st place would receive $120.00.  All other placed finishes will also be prorated to aminimum payout of $20.00.  If you take the green flag in the feature race and complete one full lap you will receive $20.00.
This is the program we intend to run for the rest of this year. We apologize for any confusion regarding the August 29th race.
Please be patient and stick with us, as we are working to make this a great track for drivers and fans alike.
