I think the club should add a weekly money class , either Briggs370 or Animal Medium.. have a 50$ entry with 100% payback. Pay top 3. Just one class, no points,no year end awards, you would still have your regular 370 or animal medium class that ran for club points/championship. It could run last on the running order , Time trials/20 lap feature. After all your heat races are done, have qualifying for the money class... then a 20 lap feature as the nightcap. I think it would attract some of your local guys that have no desire to run for a club championship. If you think the club would lose money with people only running this money class every week , it wouldn't be a bad idea to say you have to be registered in at least one other class. I don't see what it would hurt.. there are many weekly tracks that do this kind of thing.. its kind of giving back to the karter...Just an idea I came up with , figured I'd toss it out there.

Payouts would be nice, but be realistic. I know from experience how rough some of these folks race, they take the quote "rubbin is racin" a bit too far sometimes. Sportsmanship is too often thrown out the proverbial window in the latter part of the season anyhow. I just believe adding money into the mix would end up in taking your winnings home and having to replace all the stuff that was torn up with it.
From reading many of these posts in here, there are people that forget that racing is supposed to be fun. That goes for all ages. I just believe that if that can o worms were opened, it would end up in tons of controversy. People fight too much as it is over a bunch of Points...

umm..i COMPLETLY agree w/a weekly money race..but it should be in the animal medium class..the local karters need something to race for at delmar..we all saw the turn-out at seaford and the delmar money races at the end of the 07 season, it was incredible!!..i dont care what anyone thinks, but the us13 kart club has done everything in their power to kill the kart count and money races WOULD bring karters back at delmar..so stop boo hooin bout the low kart count and do something bout it, and money races is a good place to start!!

From what I've read about the up coming season It sounds like they are going to have a class or two that race just for money every week. If you are interested they are going to be having a general club meeting soon you need to attend and participate by sharing your suggestion.

this is probably a good idea but the class should be animal heavy. two reasons: animal heavy racers are mostly adults (not kids put at risk) and good handling heavy guys can compete as well as smaller guys who can add weight thus giving a nice kart count which is the goal and idea for having an event like this.

that would open it up for more guys by having it at the heavy weight
