Will be 5.50 index and drive tires will be restricted to

- second chance race -- M.W., 05:30:33 03/19/15 Thu [7]
You say your going to do a second chance race. It will be none points pot race. You said payout would be determined by drivers. So can I just come and run that without paying the points fund money. Its just a pot race so it should not be under the blanket of the points fund.

The second chance race is for non qualifiers of the main race. The main purpose is to make sure everybody who wants to race gets to race. it is winner takes all unless negotiated otherwise by the finalists. Names will be drawn from a hat to decide pairings.

- 50.00 FEE -- BRENT STOUMBAUGH, 12:07:17 03/19/15 Thu [4]
Wow. I can not believe people are getting all bent out of shape over 50.00 points sign up fee. This is a great class with a bunch of great people in it. just sounds stupid to complain over 50.00. find another class that is as good as this. We will spend 50.00 on stupid stuff every month and not even think about it. hang in there David.

- Why join PRO580? -- David Kopp, 14:47:47 03/08/15 Sun [8]
One of the main goals of PRO580 is (and has always been) to grow and encourage new racers to join. That goal is the reason the club started the points system as it encourages racers to participate in as many races as possible. The payout was designed so each racer has the opportunity to win money with a first round win. This kind of payout is unheard of in any other race event, and several racers have said it was their first time to take home any money. Also note that the 16 car payout is over 115% of the entry fee when compared to most bracket races' payouts being around 75%. First time and one time racers do not have to pay a membership fee until they win prize money. Overall, it is pretty easy to convince anyone that this is the club to join!
When looking at our other spiffs -- a website and Facebook page showing members and updated winners pictures and, new for this year, plaques given for 1st and 2nd place finishers, ability to watch the Radial and Pro Mod races along with our PRO580 and possibly having races streamed live from motormaniatvlive.com -- the $50 membership is a minimal contribution to help promote the class. Let's do the math -- $50 membership = $6.50 for 8 races.
Please remember that PRO is short for professional. The club has a good group of racers with room for many more.
First race March 14th. Hope to see you there.

I was at NSD from Thrs till Sunday and with the rain, the radial classes had to do all their qualifying and run the
race on Saturday. That was a huge national race. Should be clear sailing from here on out weather permitting. We are the only show this week,so there should be plenty of Tnt
before the race.

- NSD is bad ass !!! -- Paul Harris, 20:43:04 03/12/15 Thu [1]
North Star was awesome Thursday night with one of the best track preps I have ever seen. It was truly like racing on a pool table. Both lanes hooked evenly and my times were very repeatable once some of the sticky got worn off. My
times were 5.796 in the left and 5.798 in the right, both
with 127 mph. The trap speeds are still high, but everybodys will be. Your ET may be a little slow at first due to the extreme amount of vht, till it wears in. Remember that this is a radial prep and your car will dead hook with big tires and often times will be drug down to a 5.85 or worse on your 5.80 tune up, due to excessive traction. Please watch the forum for further info

David volunteered to run 5.80,maybe we should take it easy on him. It's no surprise that is hard to find someone to do it.Many race classes have fees whether you call them points fund or membership fees, $50 is one of the lowest I've heard of. Pot stirring hurts race classes more than anything

- My .02 on the Points fund -- Bill Cogswell, 09:55:10 03/04/15 Wed [2]
I understand the reasoning behind the mandatory joining of the points fund for funding the end of year prizes and such, (trophies, jackets, & what not) but I believe it will kill the classes. 6.60 especially. Instead of having a mandatory points fee why not scale the prizes down to the amount of money in the points fund?(for those who join) I would hate to kill car counts over a mandatory fee. It is not going to keep me from racing but, I would rather see a large car count at every race for BOTH classes putting on a good show and excellent competition (which is what it is all about) than expecting a jacket, trophy, and a plaque at the end of the year for the points champ.

- MPH rule -- Paul Harris, 22:38:55 02/03/15 Tue [1]
The MPH rule is floating depending on the track. Denton avg will probably be 123 or so. The spirit of the rule is to keep everyone side by side and 5 to 7 above the avg is pushing it. Fans want to see side by side so keep it close.
If you have questions about your combination, please call me. I personnaly plate my car to about 5.70 and use retards to fine tune it.
