NOTICE TO ALL WEEKLY TRACKS!!!

Fastrak Racing Series has opened up the $250,000.00 National Championship to all weekly racers and participants of other racing series. The weekly fee is only $5.00 per car. That’s it and the only requirement from your teams is to run 51% of the races at your track or in your series. 51% automatically qualifies them to come to the Nationals. 1st place at the Nationals is $50,000 cash all the way through 50th playing $500.00.

Already sanctioned with another series? Thats fine. Pay the $5.00 per car and sanction with Fastrak as well. We do not require you run 'certain tires' on a weekly basis. That is your business and no business of the series. We do offer a very lucrative program with tires but it IS NOT a requirement! We are here to help, not dictate.

. Protected Territories
. Series participation in advertising for Touring events.
. media and print advertising for Touring events..

This includes all other sanctioning bodies as well. We welcome your participation with Fastrak. We choose not to COMPETE against other series but instead "work collectively" together.

Fastrak Late Model Series is based on GM crate engines. If you track now utilizes ‘other engines’ you can still join in on the National Championship as long as the teams understand when they come to the Nationals it is GM crate engines only.

National Championship is based on a 3 day event with features all three days.

Come and enjoy the fun!!

so much for all the talk about being a series concerned with budget of the weekly racer.

Seems Fastrack is in trouble already.
 
in trouble? how can they pay such a HUGE purse then, maybe its just wishful thinking on your part.

Or maybe on their part. What about the guys that already piad their full membership? Looks like they just got it put to 'em.
 
What??????

honestly!!!!!!!!!!!! you've GOT to be kidding me? Glad we havent sent our membership money in yet.

Why would you do such a thing? :mad:
 
members only

This is still a Fastrak members only deal. Found that on the TrackForums web site. From what Ive seen so far this is just a way for tracks that have sanctioned with another sanctioning body be able to get their racers into the championship weekend in October. The racer still has to join Fastrak. As far as who tracks and sends the money in I havnt seen anything yet. I am also wondering if any of the local tracks are going to be willing to be "multi-sanctioned".
 
the way I read this announcement is that anyone can pay the $5 weekly, run 51 percent of their series races and be qualified for the championships.

If i'm a Moyer, Bloomquiest or Babb with a stable of new spare cars with all the best and latest technology I might be inclined to send in the $5 weekly and plan to take the lions share of that big purse that was intended for the weekly low budget racers.
 
members only

The first sentence of the post is " NOTICE TO ALL WEEKLY TRACKS". What you are reading is the tracks responsibilty to be able to qualify their racers for the big race in October. On www.trackforums.com Stan posts that this is still for Fastrak members only. Read anything you want into the above post, Im just relaying what is posted by Stan Lester. MEMBERS ONLY! The racers resonsibilities are still the same. $95 for each track you want to qualify at and $95 for the regional series membership fees as far as Ive seen that has not changed. The fees do drop some for each one you sign up for after the first $95. Looks like the multi-santioned tracks will just be collecting another $5 from each racer who wants to be included at the pit gate.
 
Has the track been announced yet that this race is supposed to be at. I know about 4 months ago Stan was saying he was going to announce it in a week. I was just wondering if I missed it or has it not been announced YET.
 
my mistake, Moyer, Bloomquest and Babb will need to include their membership fee with their first $5 payment. still a pretty good retun on investment.

Fastrack really needs to rethink this idea, I personally want to see a budget latemodel series suceed, but this not a good deal for the budget latemodel racer.

If Fastrack can't pay that big of a championship purse within the intended series framwork, then reduce the purse, but don't throw someone who signs on and supports the series all season to the wolves at the end.
 
^5 to racefanntoo. Its just ridiculous. I never understood this big money thing anyway. Its supposed to be for the weekend warriors and budget racing, family hobby type stuff. its the backbone of these small dirt tracks.
WAKE UP TRACK OWNERS!!!!!!!!!

Youve all seen how "stupid" somebody will get to win 500.00 wait til its 50,000.
 
Racefantoo you do have a really good point. This whole deal sounded alot better back a few months ago. I would like to think that this offer is only open to the different crate racing series, but the way it reads your exactly right about this one.
 
Man I am always amazed how people take things. Geez!!! Never mistake kindness for weakness.

1. This isn for super late models.

2. There are lots and I mean lots of people running other "weekly sanctions" IN CRATE RACING that want to run for the National Championship. This is simply a way to accomplish that without making people drag all over the country including first and foremost FASTRAK teams.

3. There are lots of tracks in the country that are "double sanctioned" in certain classes. This is no different.

4. It is still Fastrak members only. It never mean't you could not also be a member of another series. You have to pay your membership or you are not in the points period. Just ike any other sanctioning body. The notice as Brad said was to TRACKS. We are simply trying to work together for the benefit of the greater good.

5. Fastrak being in trouble? What a joke. How many racing series in the country do you know that are 100% debt free? We are and always will be. The only person that Fastrak owes is me.

6. In our weekly sanctioning contract from day one it has stated the local track can run whatever they choose tire wise. It is none of our business. I don't care if they run Yokahomas. Tracks have contracts with companies they have to abide by. We are not here to be dictators! We actually want to help. I consider that part of our job. We have a very lucrative deal for tracks if they choose go with our Touring Tire deal. IT IS NOT MANDATORY JUST AN OPTION. The touring deal is entierly different.

If you think the $250,000.00 deal is big then you just wait. When you hear about 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 I will really give you some reason to doubt us and enjoy every minute of it.

Again this is a way to look out for Fastrak teams. That isand always will be my first concern.

Remember something, if you don't come and race for the $50,000 first place all the way through $500 for 50th I am sure the other teams would appreciate it.
It only increases their odds becuase you can bank on us being there for sure.

BY the way, 2 tracks have already called today and signed up with Fastrak because of this deal. No they are not in that area. Personally I consider that looking out for their teams. Now why every track would not do it is beyond me. Maybe you find it just unbelivable that someone really cares about the weekly racer. Maybe thats whats hard to really believe. Its in black and white. NO gray areas here.

Stan,

As I said earlier I support the concept of a budget latemodel series designed to promote the local weekly racer, The reason why most of the racers that have committed to the series comitted is because they felt that it offered a level playing field where the local weekend racer could be competitive in a latemodel venue.

But this announcement guts that concept, at least as far as the championship is concerned.

No matter how you try to frame it, as it's now written, the local budget weekly racer is now pitted aganist the almost unlimited resources of every member of the UMP and Woo latemodel series at the championship. And very few of the budget latemodel racers that have signed up for the fastrack program can compete with that.

So in essence when it comes to the payoff the local weekend racer has been left out.
 
racefantoo I think you are reading something in to this that is'nt there. One, the track that your so called "big dogs" will be racing at will have to be sanctioned by fasttrak and pay the 5 dollars per car. The "big dogs" will have to become a fasttrak member. The "big dog" will have to run 51% of the races at that track. I think that right there will weed out most of the "big dogs". I highly doubht any of the names you've listed will have time to run 51% of the races at any one track or 51% of the traveling races.

That is about the craziest thing I have ever heard. Think about it. You think some UMP star that races for a living is going to come race for $500 a week for 11 races at some local track just to qualify. Lets see he misses the chance at 11 races x $10,000= $110,000.00.
If he comes races with us its $50,000.00
Boy now that makes perfect sense doesn't it?

Most people look forward to racing against teams as long as they have equal stuff. You don't?

You gonna have to find someone dumber than me to argue with. I miss it sometimes but I can still add.

If you are going to address me by name on here the least you could so is state your name.
 
Racer20,

First of all and as I stated earlier I support the concept of a budget latemodel series designed to enable a racer to compete on a level playing field in a latemodel venue.

If your intention is as you stated an effort to futher unite and extend the concept of crate latemodels , good.

But as written I feel this recent annoucement will undermine that concept.

I attended a meeting where you stated that in order to qualify for the big purse National Championship a racer would have to run at least 51 percent of
the Fastrak series races.

I'm not sure of the wording in any actual contracts you may plan to offer, but as it is written on this web site I see potiential problems that could undermine the integerity of the crate concept.

As written and I quote," Fastrak racing series has opened up the $250,000.00
National Championship to all weekly racers and partispants of other racing series. The weekly fee is only $5 per car. Thats it, and the only requirement from your team is to run 51 percent of the races at your track or your series".

Your point about a traveling star dropping down to compete and qualify is mute, because no where does it require that any percentage of those 51 percent be run in a crate race.

A traveling star can run 51 percent of thier series (Woo,UMP,)races, come to the national Chanpionship with a brand new car, brand new motor and all the latest hightech equipment and compete aganist the weekend racer, who will be running a half used up motor and a half used up car.

Will this happen, I don't know, but I feel it could unless more thought is put into this idea.

Competition is great and running with the likes of the big dogs I mentioned would be a hoot, as long as its level, and that was the concept you have been promoting.
