Riverhead purse

[limodmaniac]

From what I see, the purse at Riverhead is the same as last year.

So to all drivers out there, please note that we have been working hard to raise the extra 10,500 dollars.

Before the race, a group of us will be walking around handing out 300 to each driver who qualifies. It's our way of letting you guys know how much we appreciate you coming to Riverhead. Just call us your sponsor for the day.

After the race, we will be giving the winner 2100. So wtih the purse of 2600 plus the 300 plus the 2100 , the winner of the race will get 5000.

To anyone who has pledged money ( or anyone who still wants to) try to do it as soon as possible. I want to hand out something to all drivers at Monadnock that shows exactly what we have been able to do. Tow money for drivers who don't qualify is a long shot. Unless I suddenly get a huge amount of donations to the cause. So if there's anyone out there who can afford 20 bucks or 200 or 2000 let me know. Remember this is a Paypal link that so far has raised us 200 bucks. Hoping for some more in these last few weeks.

[limodmaniac]

The payout for Riverhead with all our bonus money contributed by Modifed fans looks like this:

1- 5000 9- 1275 17- 825 25- 600
2- 2200 10- 1250 18- 800 26- 600
3- 1900 11- 1225 19- 775 27- 600
4- 1700 12- 1100 20- 725 28- 600
5- 1600 13- 1000 21- 700
6- 1500 14- 950 22- 650
7- 1350 15- 900 23- 627
8- 1300 16- 875 24- 600

If anyone still wants to help, we are still looking for some tow money. Riverhead usually gets around 35 cars, so that means about 7 guys go home with nothing. If you are a fan of modified racing and can help out please let me know. There is a PayPal link at the top of this post and you can also see me by the 8x after the 77 lap race at Riverhead.

Just want you to know that two of the people are from Connecticut and one from NJ. Not sure where Steve is from. I really appreciate what these people have done.

If anyone would still like to contribute, it's not too late. We are still looking to give money to the drivers who don't qualify.

So let me get this straight, you are raising money for the drivers, you contributed money and you are picking up people at the ferry to bring them to the track? You are the man!

[limodmaniac]

And i may have about 75 people showing up to watch the race.

It better not rain!!!!!!!!!

finally i am able to post a reply.

first off i want to thank the chrome horn for giving me a place to keep up to date on modified action on the east coast.

also a huge thank you to everyone who does the near live race events, event photos, and the feature stories displayed on the main page.

limodmaniac, yes sir i am from washington state, only 2,644 miles away from riverhead.
i live in spokane washington just 30 miles from the washington and idaho border along interstate 90. i am a huge east coast modified fan and modified racer of my own 96 troyer.

i actually spent my 1 year wedding anniversary, man i love my wife!, sitting in the grandstands at thompson speedway for the world series in 2008. sadly the only modified race on the east coast that i have been able to attend.

pic of my troyer. all fab and tin work including the hood are done by me.

[nwtroyer39]

p.s. thanks to richie grodski for helping me get my account activate finished.

[worm]

looks real good, very nice work

[limodmaniac]

Wow ! So cool to think we have someone from the state of Washington supporting the Riverhead Tour Race.

When you decide to travel back east and take in a tour race at Riverhead, the race is on me!

The power of PayPal too. I know I did the PayPal for the Richie Evans/ Steven Park / Tommy Baldwin car. Modern technology at its finest.

Thanks again Steve and be looking for those live updates from Riverhead Raceway.

[limodmaniac]

Another $ 100 donation from Rene Giacobbe.. Thanks Curious George for all you've done for this race. Next year, you get to organize the event!

Just curios where are you going to race that car?

[nwtroyer39]

http://www.northwestmodifieds.com/

4 true troyers, 1 spafco ? (was told that this chassis was a mike stefanik tour chassis in 96)and 8 troyer clipped northwest built chassis that my father and uncle built based on troyer designs are in the northwest.

most of the active cars are latemodel chassis switched over to open wheel. lefthander, howe, dillon, etc.

[limodmaniac]

At Monadnock, I'm going to hand out to the drivers a paper that shows what the overall payout will look like with our collection of money. The paper will also list all the people who have donated money.

And now all the way from Michigan we have Liquid Bread donating $100 to the Riverhead tour race. Sine we now have gone over our goal of 10,500 at least one driver who doesn't qualify for the race will be going home with some money. We'd like to raise enough so that all guys who don't qualify get something. If there should only be 28 cars attempting to qualify then any extra $ will be given to the 2nd and 3rd place finishers.

[limodmaniac]

Thanks to Richie Grodski for adding 100 bucks to our still growing Riverhead Tour Purse.

At least one driver who doesn't qualify will be made happier . We've already raised $330 dollars towards this effort.

[limodmaniac]

Thanks to Kevin Rice / SU Fan for the $100 donation to the Riverhead Tour race. We are taking donations right up to the time trials on Saturday.

we now have $570 tow money. . not exactly sure how we wil spread this out to the drivers since we don't know how many cars will be there.

$11,070 raised/pledged so far!

[CTtoPA]

If there should only be 28 cars attempting to qualify then any extra $ will be given to the 2nd and 3rd place finishers.

You don't think the purses are too top-heavy already? In PA for the National Open a few years ago the fans ended up giving the first local non-qualifier something like $2,000.

That Chassis in question is NOT a spafco chassis, it is in fact a Stefanik original!! It was purchased from Peter Beal late of '07 early '08, this is in fact one of the Burnham Championship cars from that era.

[csammy]

i commend everyone who donated to the riverhead purse but when a legands race pays 250,000 to win its a slap in the face to the mod tour drivers and shows nascar does not care much for this division

Bruton Smith put that together. Not NASCAR.

[catfish]

Also the Legend car divisions are not associated with Nascar in any way shape or form.

[Howie]

Doesn't Bruton own the company that builds and sells Legends cars? There are also hundreds (thousands?) of Legends cars around the country and overseas. Modifieds, not so much. I understand the Legends cars are very popular in Europe, Great Britain and France especially. Seems like I read somewhere that this was a marketing thing to promote and sell the cars down the road.

[Teds Race Tours]

Yes, this was probably an infomercial as much as an enjoyable event. Somebody watching it, figures out that for about 10k, they could have a chance to race for a Million Dollars.

Having said that, Bruton does seem to get that the Modifieds, at least up North, are a very marketable division. Lets Give Mr Smith a chance to do something special for the Modifieds.

[limodmaniac]

So who is going to the race? I have about 50 - 75 people showing up.. Jaws sounds like he has a ton of people coming too... And I hear there may be a few Brunnhoelzls up visiting from the south.

[KyleMac45]

I will be there... Spottin for Jamie Tomaino!


Kyle

[ModTourMan]

I'll be there...it's been too long since I've visited one of my favorite bullrings!

[limodmaniac]

If you can believe the weathermen, and I don't usually...the weekend weather looks great!! Not too hot for those of course planning on spendiing the whole afternoon there.

Let's pack the place. Bring friends.. Try to bring someone who hasn't been to a race in a long, long, time!

Only 75, gee I thought you would have about 200 coming with all the people camping on your front lawn!

[Jaws]

Well it looks like a minimum of 33 so here will be tow money. Can't say that at too many races!

[stoningtonmodmania]

il be there as well as a cuple oother races this week

[limodmaniac]

Just got a $50 donation via PayPal from Rich McCoy. I think I'll officially announce that we have 50 dollars towards next years race.

Thanks to everyone who donated money. Couldn't have done it without all the help.
