Updated August 13, 2008 ******************************************* Our "Quarter-mile Saturdays" are a well-kept secret that I wish would soon leak out. We're guaranteeing purses and are not drawing the cars that we should. This pretty well proves what I have thought for some time that more money does not draw more cars. The total purse is about the same as a regular points Saturday, but the car count is much less. This past weekend we had six cars running for a total of $1,200 in S/ST, five cars running for a total of $1,000 in S/Pro and eight cars running for a total of $1,000 in Pro ET. I have thought that the "fun factor" IS a draw and that certainly is not lacking in Quarter-mile Saturdays. We don't do buybacks so the race goes much more quickly and the laid-back pace of the event certainly is a big plus. Drivers who lose in the first round of S/ST have the option to enter Super Pro and as you can see from the car count, simply being drawn for the by run or winning the first round paid double your entry fee. This was a great deal for the folks who chose to be with us. Think about this folks -- what are you doing on our next "Quarter-mile Saturday". Later, Ed
