Riverhead Tour Race

[limodmaniac]

Riverhead Raceway is having a Whelen Tour race on July 31.

I am looking for a few people who would like to help me sponsor the race.


A race sponsored by race fans.

My goal is to make it possible for every guy who qualifies to go home with a thousand bucks.

Send me a private message if you are interested.

good luck to you on this

Based on last years purse, I would only need 10,000 bucks to cover it. I'm putting up 2000 and I may have two others who will do the same. If that happens, I'm not far from the goal at all.

I can't commit any financial help, College and all makes it a bit difficult.

However, if this happens I will support the race by being there, having never been to Riverhead before it sounds like a great track.

Thanks,
Jeff Wentworth.

Just a question, was the Riverhead race an unsponsored race last year? Also it that money the real money or the money including the end of teh year sponsor money??

[The Bullfather]

can you sell laps on a tour race??????

[limodmaniac]

I'm not sure but other than me coming up with some money for the winner and I think one other person ( for fast time? not really sure) I don't think there was a sponsor. I'm not sure, but maybe if I had done it earlier, it coule have been called the LongIslandModManiac 150. Hmmmmm... that has a nice sound!

I got the idea last minute when I saw the posted purse. I don't think this includes any bonus money. I think that is the cash each driver left with in their pockets after the races were done Saturday night. The only change in the cash purse was the extra money I ended up giving to Ryan Preece.

Again not sure, but I don't think they do lap money at Whelen races. I guess anything is worth asking to find out if it's possible. Lap money doesn't help the majority of drivers. I'd like to see it possible that ALL drivers leave Riverhead feeling good. As good as 10,000 to win sounds....it could be a smash fest.

58 -$1025
33 -$700
16 -$675
36 -$1225
18 -$600
19 -$550
09 -$527
4 - $500
11 -$300
84 -$300
79 -$500
14 -$300
DNQ
59 -$200
68 -$0
26 -$0
9 -$0

Total Payout $31,837

Purse Payout $22,727
Bonus Money Paid Out $7,700
LIMM To The Winner $1,400

And I think another $150 to the Pole winner from one of the weekly Modified racing teams and you could add that money to what the #3 won.

It looks like $6,000 would do it, but with $10,000 you could do a lot more.

What ever we can get to help the drivers will be great!

Was that an offer of sponsorship Mod11Racer?

[The Bullfather]

The sponsor for each lap would go into the over all pot, I know Riverhead has races like this and some races we've sold up to 7 rounds for each lap. I don't know if we could do it for the tour race with Whelen and Nascar. But the money would help add to the purse, maybe $50-100 per lap. Just a suggestion to help raise the purse.

[limodmaniac]

My guess is whatever money we can collect, be it 2000 , 100 or 10 dollars per person , we just add it together and see what we have. Then we call Bob Finan and say the FANS want to sponsor the race. We can call it the Modified Fans 200 or the Friends of Modifieds 200. I'm not sure how much before July 31 we have to have this all figured out, but I"m hoping by mid May.

Of course, if the track finds their own sponsor, then we can just throw it in as extra money. The more money, the better it is for the drivers.
