If old iron is really gone why wouldn't they just run them all together. What would be the point of 80 and newer? Lawrence should have just combined both classes and combined both payouts in 1 derby. Possibly payed top x amount of places + top x amount of 80 newer so a newer model could win both for more money on top of a top place finish. 80 and newer was a class not too long ago that allowed beginners to compete without putting major time and money into a car like the "old iron". With that it drew more intrest. But it's almost past those days, and truly there is not much of a point to 80 and newer except to justify the feelings of the people who already run 80 and newer exclusively who fear they may not be able to compete in an open class.

Hello, R&R promotions has landed a dea with Channel 6 Tv out of lawrence, Ks to film and air this event on Thier stations.
We are also working on a pay-pre-view at a later date.
We will be doing some driver interviews and inspections will also be filmed as well.
I hope everyone will spread the word as this can lead to a bigger production if everything goes as planned.
Thanks, Rob Baker

I don't know you well and am not trying to down you or your company but the only way your show is gonna get bigger in Lawrence is if you add the almost 6k to the purse from last year.. More cars aren't going to show up for less total purse money than last year.. I don't know if the fair board or yourself is keeping that 6k and it doesn't really matter.. Good luck to you.. I know quite a few people that have mentioned sitting this show out..

Well- the fair board gave me a list of the total payout & that's what I went off of.
We are working on getting a few sponsor for the event to help raise up the money.
It's a start as we are brand new in that area. You've got to start somewhere.
Thanks for you input. Rob Baker

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE 2003 VICS NOT BEING ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE CRADLES OUT. IF YOU ALLOW THAT, WHERE DOES IT END? THE 99-2002 ARE ALREADY ALLOWED TO SWAP REAR END ATTACHMENT POINTS, WHY? YOU GONNA TRY AND CONVINCE ME THAT THERE ARENT ANY EARLY STYLE VICS OR LINCOLNS LEFT SITTING,ACHING TO BE BOUGHT? THE WHOLE IDEA OF TITLTING IS LUDICROUS AT BEST. THE FORDS HAVE A MUCH BETTER REAR FRAME DESIGN AND STRUCTURE THAN THE GM COUNTERPARTS,SO WHATS THE BIG DEAL WITH MAKING EVERYTHING EQUAL... SIMPLY BUY AND BUILD THE CAR THAT YOUTHINK WILL BE THE LAST ONE STANDING. ALL THIS CRYBABY BULLSHIT ABOUT " I WANNA CHANGE OUT THE 2003 FORD CRADLES OR IM NOT GONNA RUN" IS GETTING TIRESOME.....PLAIN AND SIMPLE, THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY FRAME MODS ALLOWED.... RUN IT THE WAY IT IS, OR CHOOSE ANOTHER CAR. THESE HOUR AND A HALF LONG FEATURES ARE BORING AT BEST ...SHIT, HALF THE STANDS EMPTY AT THE HOUR MARK OR BEFORE......IM DONE.....

We have raised $2500 more for the payout which will b divided up for the 80 and newer compacts too. We will have a mad dog for each class as well.
I can see that some of you are stuck on the payout for this event. I do see other demo pay $3000 top win but they don't say anything about paying down in the finals or paying heat winners either.
Maybe we as drivers have lost our sight for ouyr sport!
What happened to going out to have some fun by tearing up the other guys car and putting on a show for the family and friends that came to watch?

Not sure what other demo derbys in kansas that is paying out atleast $9700 for 2 classes guaranteed!!
We also spread out the money several places so that people get a chance to get something back instead of only the top 3.
I hope some of you driver will agree with me.
Thanks Rob
I'm still working on more money for this event

I'm working on a couple things but should have the updated payout by the first of the week!
I've talked to some bigger sponsors bt they want to see what kind of turn out we get and what the show is like before they come on board for next year.
I hope that you can see R&R has been working hard for this event to get more for the drivers and fans.
Got a tv station to air the event plus raising more money for the events payouts.
We are open to other ideas as we will do our best to make a fun event.
Thanks Rob

Not to mention the cost of a shell just to put a car together.
