We'd like to introduce our Super Dirt
Late Model sanctioning body and racing series. It's our desire
for you to understand our philosophy and its relationship to our
professionally presented auto racing programs. J.A.M.
Motorsports Incorporated, is the parent holding company for the
Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS). It is a philosophical
outgrowth of its predecessor, the North East Winners Series
(NEWS). Although the organization was new in 1997, the personnel
have been involved in the sport for many years.
The sanctioning body is solely owned
by the Geesey brothers. Jeff, the eldest, has been actively
involved in the sport for more than 42
years. He serves as the Public Relations and
Race Coordinator for the Series. Andy, Series President, is the
front straight-away lineup steward.
And
finally, Matt serves as chief lineup/pit steward. Also
included in the Series operation are: Bill Protzman - Technical
inspector; Rich Daubner - Assistant Tech Inspector.
These dedicated individuals have
guided the Series to its current position of prominence within
the Late Model fraternity, resulting in continued growth. They
have assisted in race meets at other Northeast region tracks and
their faces are certainly recognizable and familiar to many.
Surrounded by Late Model drivers and owners for the past several
seasons in various capacities, each individual has brought to
the organization strength and preparedness as well as a
committed formula for success.
We feel the key component to
successfully sanction, present, and be received, is the
understanding of the four principal elements and different
groups which must be satisfied.
-
FANS
- We present a quick, quality show that has fans returning
again and again. Once that concept is understood, the plan
must be executed.
-
DRIVERS - We work within the confines of the rules that
govern any race meet to meet our driver's needs.
-
TRACK PROMOTERS - These important people ensure monetary
success for all and we strive to give them all the help we can
with our promotions and how we run our races.
-
SPONSORS - These folks provide the services fans seek
thereby creating a brand-name awareness and increased market
share.
For
2008,
the Series is expecting a year similar to
2007. Currently for the '08 the Series has events slated to be
held at (in alphabetical order): Allegany County Speedway "The
Rock" (MD), Bedford Speedway (PA), Hesston Speedway (PA), Hilltop
Speedway (OH), Lernerville Speedway (PA), Portsmouth Raceway
Park (OH), Sharon Speedway (OH), Bill Sawyer's Virginia Motor
Speedway (VA).
We will not exceed 30-36 race dates in
a given season. Total seating capacity at participating tracks
could realize a climb in total fan attendance to a combined
total of 200,000 people.
Each of the Series' stops will
carry a minimum
$30,000
purse. There are
three
additional tiers to the purse structure, which could boost total
purses for individual events to $125,000. Several higher dollar
events are also in the schedule. With sponsorship assistance,
the Series will carry a point fund estimated at
$50,000 in
cash and approximately $50,000 in prizes during
our 12th season. It is our desire to continue to increase the
post-season awards upward topping $150,000 in cash, prizes, and
contingencies. |
