I meant "we" as in message board masses. But the more important question to be answered is why did no one think to mention it before now? Maybe because the event was a success and now people need something to bitch about?Originally posted by MasterSbilt_Racer View PostI heard about it the next day.
Tracks around here in lower level classes, and some upper level classes, dont pay past 10th in the A main.Last edited by FourDeepInTheFluff; 01-07-2017, 06:59 PM.

Racers at the local level in all, but possibly the headliner class, pretty much accept the fact that unless they finish in the top 3 they are going in the toilet for the evening. That's probably the biggest reason that the number of new racers, many of which are young hopefuls, diminish each year. No bucks and you struggle and you do without and/or your kids go barefoot. Nothing wrong with that and if you get better and your stuff & your driving improve you may move up a division where you find find you spend more and still can't get ahead financially and most likely never will.BUT if you get into a top class like LM or 410 Sprints and spend several hundred on entry fees, pill draw fees, tow hundreds to thousands of miles to some big show and don't get a nickel will you return to that show the next time. Yeah, I didn't think so. I won't either.

Exactly I doubt about any discount believe it are not the dome is more active now then when the football team was there , I am glad some sanctions don't have entry fees except for the really big eventsOriginally posted by LMNED10 View PostI would be interested to know what it cost to rent the dome and all the other buildings he had for the pits. I am sure he got a discount for renting multiple days, just curious.Last edited by calverton; 01-07-2017, 07:51 PM.
