Itās been a while since Iāve reached out to our Northeast racing family! šļøšØ
Yes, the plan is still 100% on to launch a 5-race Sport Compact series across New York and Northeast PA for the 2027 season! š
Before moving forward, Iām laying the foundation to see where the interest is. I need to know: If I put a 5-race schedule together, who would seriously consider running it?
RULES & TECH
Let's hold off on deep rules discussions for now. Rules will be tailored regionally and will closely follow the NCTS platform.
PURSE & PAYOUT (Based on a 20-Car Field)
My goal is to keep this realistic for track promoters while putting as much money as possible back into drivers' pockets to help cover travel. Here are the two payout options Iām working with ($4,300 to $4,600 total purse):
š 1st: $1,000
š„ 2nd: $500
š„ 3rd: $300
⢠4th: $250
⢠5th: $225
⢠6th: $200
⢠7th: $175
⢠8th: $150
⢠9thā20th: $150 to start (Option A - $4,600 Purse) OR $125 to start
Would a payout structure like this be enough to get you to travel? Let me know your thoughts!
JOIN THE TEAM š ļø
We are also looking for a Tech Director and a Race Director willing to help us build this from the ground up until we grow our driver counts and secure marketing partners. If you're passionate about grassroots racing and want to get involved, send me a DM!
ā ļø Note: Please keep all feedback constructive and respectfulātrack promoters will be reading the comments on this post! Letās show them the Northeast compact community is ready to pull together and build something great.
