ULTIMATE Bob addresses fees for events and $3000 to win purse

[chupp n bloomer fan]

No,thats not the case,just want to have a Reasonable entry fee,depending on what the race pays.$105.00 entry fee for a $3000.00 to win show is out of the question.

And as you mentioned above,THE NON ENTRY FEE RACES HAVE ALREADY STARTED,thanks to the KING FAMILY of Florence Speedway.They have had two $5000.00 to win races,and one $3000.00 to win race,without any ENTRY FEE WHATSOEVER.

It is reasonable when the man who owns it lays it out there for ya. But you'll just keep arguing a mute point, so carry on.

What is the so-called MAN laying out there for me?I surely don't know.

If the drivers running the series don't have a problem with the entry fee and they show up to run the series. What the heck does it matter what someone who isn't going to run the series thinks.

Port Royal speedway ran a UFO series race that was $3000 to win $300 to start and the super late model entry fee was $25

Is Florence running a 3-5k show 2-3 times a month and or every time they open the gates? I bet not. The Ultimate show has good purse every time they race.

The southern tour has a 20k to win race at VMS. I guess you wouldn't want to pay entry fee for that either.

Too funny won't pay entry fee for 400 to win but will pay for 450 to win just because it is 5k to win.
Bottom line is only 1 driver is walking away with top money. Either you want to race or you don't.

I know it's not quite the same but been to a lot of go kart races & pay a $25 entry fee to win a $100.00 to win & only top 3 get paid. Guess no one should support go kart racing either.

Man/ owner of series has a business plan to make it successful for both drivers, fans & himself no differnt than other companies out there.

It's spelled out clearly. The drivers are funding their own point fund, paying for fireworks etc and the series $65k truck. The sponsor revenue and sanction fees seem like they are being pocketed. No wonder racing is fading out with these series grabbing so much cash away from the drivers and tracks.

what no one has stated that most series if you don't make the feature you get your entry fee back. Yes some unsaction races pay 3000 to win and no entry fee but what do they pay to start. If it's 250 to start then you make less than a carolina clash race which has a 100 dollar entry fee but pays 400 to start each race. Also on an unsaction race the promoter will adjust the purse based on car count and crowd. With a saction race you have a set purse and the purse won't be cut. It's worth the entry fee to have this piece of mind. Also if you support the series you get your entry fee back and more at the end of the year. We ran the Carolina clash and there was a couple of races that paid 3000 with a 100 entry fee but at the end of the year we got a 5000 check will you get that from an unsaction race

If you whining little @$$holes don't like the price on the menu, stick with Mickey D's and don't worry about what anyone else is charging... again 4m has went from a great racing forum to a place for the b!tch & not so famous...

[Barbecueboy]

Around this part of the country,Ohio,Kentucky and Indiana there are $3000.00 to $5000.00 to win races without any sort of entry fee whatsoever.Hell if that's the norm where you go to race,you and your group should come up here to race and save money.

Yes,they are paying $400.00 to start the feature,(THAT'S IF YOU MAKE IT,)It's like buying a $105.00 lottery ticket to win $400.00.

Remember it's the racer thats puts on the show,not the bob series,nor fastrak.

Sorry, but the lottery analogy is rubbish..........in a lottery, it's 100% chance......in a race it's 100% talent, desire and equipment with a little bit of good luck tossed in.

If 105 is an issue to race , I would suggest buying 105 in lottery tickets every Saturday night........sound like it might be more profitable for you.

[Cardirt0]

The Drivers say that they are good with it so what is the Big B!tch over it.. Man some people will wine and wine and wine..You not paying it they are so LET IT GO my God......

Stan Lester. He owns Fastrack and the Ultimate Series, at least the BoB portion. Been at for awhile now, he responded, even though he had no need to, he did. But he just wasted his time, because you're still saying the same stuff.

Sounds like a plan BBQ. If you're running a late model and scoff at $105, time to step down a level or three anyhow.

[Barbecueboy]

The drivers and teams aren't " THE SHOW"...............just the actors in the show.

The show has to have a " DIRECTOR" and a PRODUCER".....that's what the series does.

Should bout sum it up for the folks that don't understand how that sorta stuff works.

to some its the principal
