That is for 8 or less cars. A full field is 400 to 500 to win. That is more than fair for a starter class. In virgina racesaver are getting 100 to win or start. I really appreciate all that Atomic and Jackson are doing to help the class get started.

You better check before you imply Virginia Racesaver is getting $100 to win. That might not sit well with Mr. Racesaver. Pennsylvania Racesaver starts at $135, Bloomington,IN Racesaver starts at $150, and Eagle(NB) Racesaver starts at $250.

The 100.00 mark was from French. i talke to French almost weekly and that is what he said he has to pay because of attendance and car count. He told me to be happy if we got 100.00 for each car we got for the first year. I have worked hard with the track owner/promoter to get a good payout for a starter series. Eagle is a great example of how to start a series and I hope our series grows like theirs has. If we get a car count like Eagle has on a weekly i know i can talk to the owner and promoter to get a bigger start and win payout.
Why don't we be more positive about a new series and stop the complaining about things at the start. Not to be mean but if you don't like the payouts then you don't have to race with us. There is a lot of hard work to get something like this done and I want to thanks Brad McGowan owner at Atomic and Chris Smalley owner at Jackson County Speedway.
If we get 20 plus cars a night I know we can get a better payout.

Southernohio.
Some of these negative remarks appear to come from young people (not born) when the 305 class was started in northern ohio with very few cars & subsequently, low payouts, they apparently, have little (or none) appreciation of what the early owners/drivers experienced developing the class into what is today. The Racesaver 305's do not require an extremily high priced motor with the name, Griff, Gressman or Level on it to compete, I suspect in the future as the Racesaver class grows in Southern Ohio & Indiana some northern Ohio owner/drivers now finishing in the back of the pack (bottom 10) will realize they can have just as much fun, (maybe even more) and be competive at a hell of a lot less in motor cost joining the Racesaver class.
The northern Ohio Track promoters and car owners/drivers endured a slow startup (25-30 years ago) the new, Ohio Thunder racesaver 305's series will most likely endure the same slow start, but, think of it this way, the future of sprint car racing in southern Ohio needs a class like this to help develop competitors for the 410 division, it appears to have been a positive affect at northern Ohio tracks.

Because it is a racesaver spec head stamped and serial numbered. You can run at attica and fremont with All pro heads.

All pro is a spec stamped head also. Is it because Mr. Grimes doesn't make any money on them like he does brodix?

Ohio Thunder IMCA Racesaver
We would now like to know the RaceSaver Series results:
Neither Jackson or Atomic have not posted full results yet, car count, winners, format, etc.
With The following tracks having the following car counts:
410 Wayne County Speedway (All Strars) = 31cars
410 Fremont Speedway (Fast) = 20 car feature, results not posted.
410 Atomic Speedway (OVSCA) = 30 cars
(Limaland (360) = 23 cars)
With some other tracks not yet open; WaynesField, not yet open.
This is starting out to be a good eyar for sprints in OH.

5 cars at Jackson and 4 cars at Atomic. Give this class a chance and it will grow. This class saved sprint car racing in Texas

Found the Saturday night results posted but not the Friday night results. Probably a good reason.
