Johnny Mallonee said: you know there are only so many vintage cars out there------------------a n d -----------------there are only so many tracks out there, if the demand exceeds the supply does that mean you are a commodity in demand?? does that mean there could be show money??? A thought, a very good thought,you fill up a 16 gallon tank at 3 bucks or better and a toter with 25 gallons at $2.59 you have spent over $112.00 and are you even at the track yet?? Not griping just showing where a little tow money just may get you 30 cars instead of 12 cars. It is something I am going to look at when we start dragging to the track. You are going to lay over to come home so thats another factor.
When we put the boat in to go out its $200 bucks or better to do this, you see having fun does have a pricetag on it in todays world so do i go fishing or do i go racing? Entertain me with a thought on this
Johnny,Those are all excellent points, and that is the role of the sponsors in our group, the "Bell and Bell Vintage Modified Series". Sponsorship funds are being equally distributed to participants to help off set participation expenses. Our goal is to make it affordable and attractive to participate in our events, granted, we have not met our final goal, but we have also just begun. Our series is a work in progress and is only one year old. One absolute marketing strategy is your opening statement......."there are only so many vintage race cars........" if a promoter is intersted in adding a vintage event, the possibilities are limited, they don't grow on trees, that fact is source of strength for the vintage community.
