Title: Focus Week? Post by: midmad68 on July 06, 2009, 06:35:55 PM with the upcoming races in perris, ventura, and hanford within a week, usac should label it focus week. there doesn't really need to be any additional money involved, but a trophy and the title of focus week champion would be cool. any thoughts?
during the ventura fair race last year, the three championship leaders went to the back for some extra cash. the one who got the furthest foreward won. maybe if sean and brody are up for it, it can be done again. we could pass a hat through the grandstands and have naylor talk it up like last year. we were able to come away with $500 last year thanks to kevin kierce, cory kruseman, sean bowman, and others. it adds something extra for the fans to get excited about. just some thoughts i had...think about it MJ Title: Re: Focus Week?
