Is there a zoning or non bitch agreement keeping Mercer from running on Sunday's?

 

I think both the front and back gates at Lernerville, Sharon and Mercer would greatly improve if all three ran 410's "EVERY" weekend except for traveling shows which all three over courtesy and mutual benefit would not run 410' when one of the other had a 410 traveling show in town on a weekend.

 

And nothing says they could not have a traveling show in during a week day.

 

All would have to offer at least $4000 to win and pay at least $250 tow to the 410's.

Our area would draw cars from other areas to run for a possible weekend payday of $12000 plus $750 tow every weekend and they would also come for the traveling 410 show's. 

The rest of the 410 payout for each track would also have to be the same.

 

It would make this area the worth your time "Place to go" for 410 racers.

 

Lernerville would still be expected to run it's same successful classes.

And I think it would be good if both Mercer and Sharon also offered 305's every week.

 

What's tough is fitting in Big Blocks and/or Super Lates without jacking the total payout out of line.

 

The answer would be what class will put the most additional fans in the stands to cover it and make the fan experience worth it?

 

I'm going to say both Sharon and Mercer would have to add the same classes and I think our local super stocks and Super Lates would do it.

 

And if another class is needed at either Sharon or Mercer it IMHO should be 4cylinders and if another class is needed add in "Open" 4cylinders.

How about if either the WoO or Allstar 410's hit all three track on the same weekend.

Western pa Eastern oh area could have a WoO weekend and an Allstar weekend.

 

The traveling racers and fans would love it being able to go to three close tracks from one hotel.  

 

It's all dependent on the ability of Mercer or Sharon to run on Sunday's.

there are not enough sprints in the local area to support this idea.
