When is enough enough

I just saw were a racetrack is running a 2 thousand to win late model race with 150 entry fee sounds a little high to me

Easy answer. If you don’t like it, don’t go. That sounds brash, but it’ll show what the market will support.

I've always been against ANY entry fees for racers. We bring, equipment and cars, often in the $100K+ range, pay pit fees that are usually double what the spectators pay and then go out and risk our health and/or bankruptcy to entertain folks. If we weren't all stupid we'd just go pot bowling in a beer league. Charging $150 entry fee for a $2K purse is just insulting and part of being the job of promoter is to PROMOTE.

What track is this?

Look at it like this. People who buy a rifle don’t get paid to hunt deer. People who spend money on a boat and a fishing rod don’t get paid by the lake to show up and fish. Got a cool Polaris RZR? You don’t get paid to ride it. Treat the racing hobby the same way. Why expect to get paid to participate in your hobby? Did you get into racing as a hobby or as a business? You’re doing it to entertain yourself first.
