To many costly rules changes over the years

I think at this point 12 drivers signed up is very promising and surprising. There is also the potential of another 3-4 drivers to add to that list. Not to mention all the rookies!

In an effort to bring the truck class forward, all truck teams competing at Delaware Speedway have the opportunity to compete under the 100%current identical rules at 5 non-conflicting events at Full Throttle Motor Speedway (Formerly Varney Speedway). The trucks, known as "Super Trucks" at FTMS will have a chance to run for a points championship and be $450 to-win, 20th-$60, 24th-$50. FTMS will not run qualifying events (draw for start/inversion) and have 2-20 lap feature events combined for the points/payout. Drivers/Teams need to contact me (Gord Bennett) so we can move forward with running the class when we have a solid commitment by enough of the current "Super Truck" group. fullthrottlemotorspeedway@gmail.com

Please post your new website guys. The old one is not giving any viable info. Understanding it is a new ownership deal... hopefully you have one made up by now. Thanks.

Your running Friday nights? What are the event dates? What's the draw of hauling my truck. 3 hours to compete for no money. I can already achieve that at Delaware speedway. Plus now I have to change the gears in my rearend.

Maybe that is why the truck class is in the state it's in because of comments like that. Here a track is willing to help the class by giving opportunity to grow, show your sponsor/potential sponsors a different demographic and pay more money than you run for now and get ridiculous statements from you, this is a forum and any of your words reflect more than yourself. You can all thank this guy if I decide to pay another group to entertain my large crowd instead of the truck class. BTW all events were non-conflicting with the Delaware schedule. Maybe other teams/drivers can give me better feedback before I change my mind and remove them from my schedule.

gord i think u need to explain more the payoff for each nite and the points deal better...i think people are confusing you and your NEW DEAL with what was being posted the last few weeks that in 2014 they were only paying top 3 drivers every nite...

Sorry man. I wasnt trying to discourage your proposal. I was more looking for some quality feed back like the sponsorships and demographics. It would definetly be fun to travel a couple times a year. Fridays are definetly not a great day for working chaps. Is this gonna be an exclusive Friday thing?

We will be running Friday Nights in a non-competitive schedule with Delaware Speedway, yes it is hard to do for some people but still possible for many. I would love for the trucks to utilize their equipment more and feel secure about having another home track to build or buy more trucks at the FTMS track as well as Delaware. Lets not kill it and instead grow it. If there is any potential in this proposition please talk as a group and let me know soon, otherwise I have to change my scheduling plans. Thanks, Gord Bennett FTMS

I am interested...logistically it might be a challenge however it is promising to see additional options for Trucks.

This is exciting news, Bennett. Do you guys have anyone in place to speak with yet, on logistics, rules, payout structure? I asked higher up in a post if you have a website up yet. The old one is still up, but is obviously not in use (or not yet brought to speed). You definitely have interest from guys, just need more info put in. Guaranteed guys will go, if there's some money in a full structure, and and more info. Die hard truck guys, are killing for the info.

This could work out to be a great thing, for the truck series, Delaware, and the new Full Throttle Motor Speedway. With the support of the delaware drivers, FTMS could have a few of there locals buy some of the trucks that are for sale, and possibly build some new ones. I turn that would have a better turn out for Delaware as well. I am just curious to see how many guys in this truck class would actually be interested in travelling a bit, even if 5 races is to much for this season, maybe we could go and run one, two, or three events to see how it goes, maybe Delaware could work with Gord from FTMS to put something together.

Thoughts?

I will be there. I use to love running Varney, it is basically a mini Bristol. Should be great to run with the truck class. R Verberne I think your right with this helping the division as a whole.

I won't be able to do it. Delaware is already a 2 hour trip for me. 4 hours to FTMS is just to much.
