We considering an end of the year race- based on a team concept that worked well in drag racing. Drag racers would compete all year to qualify for the #1 team from each of 9 racetracks. These tracks would send their #1 and even #2 teams to that race, where the most round wins by a track there would net the team the "Team Championship" and jackets saying such, and bragging rights for a year. As an example, adapted to dirt track, each track could send it's best five from each of 4 IMCA classes. To win the team championship, Team Cardinal modified racers would be rooting for Cardinal Hobby stock teammembers, and I Stockers supporting Sport Mod teammates. Also, your competitor all year is now your teammate & you want him to do well. Racers who qualified for 2 or 3 teams could pick the one team (track) they preferred to run for. In drag racing, this grew from 110 cars to 360 in a few years. All the details could be worked out, but is the CONCEPT worth pursuing? Let us know what you think.
