Since we no longer have trophy dashes , and the racing program go so swiftly and smooth ...How about an all-star race at the end of the year either during the last race or at the winternationals ! By invitation only ...allow feature winners for that entire season eligable to enter and allow top dogs from around the state also enter ...Let em go 15-20 laps for a 25 -50 $$ trophy what would that hurt?

I think it would be pretty fun ...what are you all's thoughts and opinions ?? If we can get enough people that want it maybe we can bring it up to the right people ....hmmmm

winners dont cry when they lose , they go back to the 
drawing board and come back for round 2 !

am i fast enough to get to race in the factory stock one?

Question is, are you any fast at all?

I like the idea! It might make me come watch!

I can see takin the feature winners from throughout the year.........but not sure bout lettin the other "top drivers" race. How can you accurately determine who the other "top" guys are. I would think it best not leave that up to speculation or opinion.......so you would need a way to determine it.

Not a new idea. Over 20 years ago, Larry Hill had the Coca Cola Race of Champions for all the champ car track champs from around the region. I think the NCRA champ was also invited. Lots of fun.

sounds like someone dosn't want other track cars showing up and kicking some a$$

do it like they do the all star game for baseball or the nfl let the fans vote at every race track there ya go problem solved it just needs to be organized by someone we'll let david go to all the tracks and tally the votes since he frequents alot of racetracks and dogwater to he always seems to be all over the place and david let me think about it........................ yes im pretty damn fast!

Or take the points champion from each track. That way there is no confusing who is the top.

The race of champions was the best race of the winter nationals back in the day. It pretty much made the whole trip for me.

Also the Dash for Cash Tulsa used to have in the early 80's was a blast. Usually $500+ to win, winner take all, it was 6 laps for the top 5 in points from the previous month.

It got so competitive, that towards the end, the Crawfords, Emmett and Stone would bring another car to just run the Dash. It was a shame when they stopped having them, I bet an extra 500 people showed up on those nights.

lol. makes no difference to me. But if something like that were to happen........it would be nice to see it done fairly (correctly).

And BTW.......if it is factory stocks we are talkin about........I highly doubt ANYONE is gonna come in and kick the SFS regulars ass...........

thats a good idea catpup.........invitations to say the top 3 from most OK tracks. So far thats the best idea or solution yet.

In '86, we were short on champ cars most of the season. The first night of the season, Larry asked me what I thought of a three car/three lap match race for $300 winner-take-all. It was a success so we decided to do it every week. I became the matchmaker. It was my job to use the lure of that race to get some out of city/state drivers to pull to OKC. I tried to match equal experience/equal equipment every week so we didn't have any Bob Ewell/Jett Starr/Bert Woodring races. The fans loved them so much that on Tuesday of race week we were taking calls as to who was going to race that Friday. It created a lot of excitement.

The biggest of the match races pitted the winners from the first ten weeks of the season in a ten car/ten lap race for $1000 winner-take-all. Lawter and Pitts chipped in another $500 to make it $1500 for the winner.

Now the trivia question: Who won that 10 lap race? (Dave, you don't get to play). This should be easy for some of the posters on this board.

Tony The tiger Armstrong?

The Deeper The Better. GO DEEP!

Does the winner of that race laugh REALLY loud?

Also, I think that there was a Jett Starrrrr mention in this post. Automatic post of the year!

Cheese , Seen "Hollywood" Jet Starr at the races a couple of Friday's ago , looks a little older but still has the BIG Hair.

Great idea!!! Have one at both tracks Ardmore and OKC

Cheese you may be warm (grilled cheese?). Be more specific please.

Comb-over and big belly? Known for his red cars and silver wings? His son is an upcoming super star?

Winner, winner chicken dinner!!
