A note from WCIS Owner/Promoter Jim Majchrzak
We all can see its tough all over the asphalt racing community, and local ignorance on the unification of SST, compounded by economy, probably has a lot to do with the smaller fields. I stood hard against the blind promises of Hoosier Corporate and our regional distributor based on their price escalation and poor business ethics. Unfortunately, with padded pockets, other promoters opted stand dormant rather than support a program that supported the SST racers.
So here we are, six tracks and 3 different tire manufacturers….But after several conversations, I think we’ve come up with a small solution…with a positive twist that supports those who continue to support the efforts of WCIS.
A test period, from now until the end of July, WCIS will allow visiting drivers to race at the BullRing on 10/70’s or Hollands Goodyear for the SST Mods and the 980 for the SST SuperStocks. The purse will be reduced for only non American Racer equipt competitors.
All others remain the same. (Reduction Per position SST Mods $100 / SST SuperStocks $50)
Here’s the twist. Instead of $200 to take the green, the non complying Mod will only receive $100.( par to the other regional purses) the extra $100 will be divided up and credited toward the individual purchase of American Racers by the teams that comply and support WCIS during that race.
Example….One visiting mod team with hoosier tires would provide a $10 credit for the remaining 10 American Racer teams in that race. The cost of the new American Racer Tire will drop from $120 normal to $110. The credit will continue to compound each time non complying visitor challenges the BullRing. American Racing teams are encouraged to invite visitors to race at the BullRing, and take advantage of the additional tire discounts.
This is a way for WCIS to continue to support teams who support the Perry Facility and open the competition to those who are using an outside tire program as an excuse for not being able to travel…The BullRing is for racers to go racing and fans to have fun…see you soon
