Can you make all 6 A-mains? That's a minimum of almost $3000 if you can no matter where you finish in them!!!
We leave Texas Motor Speedway on the 19th on the day after the $3000 to win/$750 to start US Dirt Track Nationals and head north to Iowa. That one costs $100 to enter if you do it ON-line TODAY! (by Mon 9/6) or $140 at the gate on Friday the 17th. It's a 2-day race. All cars run a B main on Saturday and if you do that, you get at least $75 back.) Oh yea, you'll need to take the week of September 17th through the 27th off. (OK, 10 days counting the weekends and a Monday for travel and rest if you need it -- wussy, lol!)
We need to be in Oskaloosa on Monday afternoon. It's a USMTS Hunt race that pays $3000 to win and a minimum of $250 to start on a maximum entry fee of $100 at the gate. All cars get a minimum of $75 back.
The next night in Allison, we do it again! $3000 to win and a minimum of $250 to start. Same deal on entry fee, tow money, etc....
Wednesday it's on to Deer Creek Speedway in southeast Minnesota for Jamboree practice night.
On Thursday through Saturday, it is THE BIG SHOW! The Jamboree!!! Combined minimum of $12,000 to win and $1700 just to start all 3 30-car A-mains! Enter by Sunday 9/5 for $200 and be guaranteed at least $350 back if you race all 3 nights!
Sunday we can travel home.
So what is that? $21,000 to win over 9 days??? About $500-600 on entry fees depending on when you enter and $575 as a minimum back??? Of course there is the fuel, food, pit passes, tires, what-ever-you-break, etc., etc. but don't sweat the small stuff, lol! At least the entry fees are a wash!
Now, all we need is some of the good late September midwest weather (and maybe a little indian summer up there in gopher land, lol!). If you're the type that would rather burn that last vacation up on some great Modified racing instead of stalking Bambi, then this week's for you!!!

Hansen Tire in Minnesota has already added $1000 to win to Thursday's feature making that one $3000 to win and the whole 3 days at the Jamboree is now a combined minimum of $13,000 to win and this whole week now adds up to $22,000 to win!!!

Phillips won $8000, Hughes won $9000 just on their wins. Not sure what Payne collected but he had a 3rd, 4th and 9th I think.
Shane Hebert took about $4000 back to Louisiana with him and his best finish was 4th!
About ten local weekly Deer Creek Mods made the A on Saturday and at least 6 Okies participated this week in the 106 cars. Joe Duvall never made it though. Weather may have scared some away. They had 6 inches of rain on Thursday alone and got the all the Jamboree races in.
Great show and Deer Creek is one awesome race track operation all the way around. If you have a 'can't miss' list. add the Jamboree to it!!!
