    WOW! Ill do that all day long,if I was afforded the payout that nascar has.In a recent cup race Jimmy Johnson won and his share was $262,111.00,and the person who ended up last was Ryan Newman,and he collected $110,718.00.

        MadDad,thanks for asking,but because of those outrageous entry fees of $105.00 I do believe that J.J. will be heading to the state of Texas,and say to the bob series (EL-PASO)

          It's pretty simple guys. If you don't like it don't run. The man is providing a product it's your choice to support or not.


          Just like going out to eat do you want to pay for a Ruth Christ steak or Outback. Your choice.

          Social media & whining about everything is ruining this country.

          Same crap I hear about racecievers & mandated safety equipment being to expensive. If you can't afford it don't do it.

            Quick question. Lots of complaining about entry fees, lots of series require them according to the posts that are on this thread. UMP was brought up, saying no entry fee. Don't the drivers and teams have to purchase UMP license to run on the ump tracks. I mean, don't they put up money to run,....say..... the summer nationals, run for UMP points???? Just asking a question.

                Yes, a one- time per season license fee.

                  People in the Tri State are used to Buckeye Series, the old NASRA deal, ALMS, etc. Those don't/didn't charge entry fees. The Cincinnati area is not used to the Southern business model. Down there, no one runs late models e very week and they have to bring a regional sanction in to have a fair chance at a full field.

                  As weekly cars disappear, I guess this model will become more commonplace.

                    It's not just a southern business model...... It's been happening here for years ever since the old Busch All Star days..... So we are talking 1990s.

                    It goes on everywhere but Florence, that's because it's unsanctioned. Entry fees go to the series.... Not the track.

                      Buckeye Speed week? ALMS? I am well aware the series pockets the fee. It insulates them from potential losses if the track would fail to pay the purse or sanction fee, I suppose. My point is the business model is easier to understand in certain parts of the country.

                            I wasn't talking about those, I wouldn't call Ohio in the midwest. There are other series that are actually in the midwest.

                            Naming 2 series that don't is such a small sample size it's not even worth mentioning. MLRA....CBC....MARS, I'm pretty sure those Wissota and IMCA series have an entry fee. Heck the local series around here charges an entry fee, not a $100 though. They race for significantly less.

                            You might be aware.... But some on here aren't or refuse acknowledge it.
