Why time trials?
2012 Race Count - 8 Races, 7 Tracks, and 3 States
2011 Race Count - 53 Races, 23 Tracks, and 6 States
2010 Race Count - 50 Races, 6 Tracks, and 2 States

Because we arent playing bingo for a dollar a hand were racing cars that are 70k with hundreds of hours of work in them !! Pills draws make zero sense. They provide some heats that are completely stacked with fast cars and some with no fast cars. a guy whos a half second off can start on the pole and win in some circumstances. qualifying and straight up starts should be the format for anything more than 1000 to win . Theres no reason anyones night should be runined by pulling a bad number it just doesnt make sense. At least with qualifying if you run a bad lap YOUR the one to blame !!Why time trials?

Can you post the complete payouts? Just wondering if the crates are still racing for $100 to start with a $75 entry fee because I noticed the Sportsman are racing for $100 to start with no entry fee.

Tyler was 65 for 3 nights including the finall night of 2 10 k to win 1 k to start races and a 20 k to win race !! eldora is 45 for the world 100 but those tracks arent in the middle of a major metropolitan area competing against the steelers, penguins and pirates !!!! But honestly the pit passes have zero effect on me even if it was 250 a person to get in, it doesnt effect me but I do feel bad for the other people because I remember having to save my damn lunch money to buy a pit pass !!$70 for pit passes??! That's ridiculous.

It's not a matter of whether you can afford it or not. It's all about what makes financial sense. We have five of us that our way in comes out of the race teams budget, that's $350 before the car even is fired. I would bet you would have to finish in the top 10 to cover pit passes. Then if you add in fuel and tires, this race is foolishly throwing money out the window. The BRP tour needs to start using their head when scheduling these races. This is why they can't get teams to follow them.Tyler was 65 for 3 nights including the finall night of 2 10 k to win 1 k to start races and a 20 k to win race !! eldora is 45 for the world 100 but those tracks arent in the middle of a major metropolitan area competing against the steelers, penguins and pirates !!!!

>>If you're planning on watching or racing Saturday only and Friday rains out<<
The price is the higher two day price, not the Saturday price.

yeah your right, after posting I looked at how much it takes to pay out that much with a calculator. It takes a lot and to do it and they have to charge the racers that much to be able to race.
It seems the track is charging a fair price to race for that amount of money.

Yeah, and gas money a couple hundred dollars to get to Charlotte and back. I would die if I ever saw you post anything positive on this racing board. You get a chance to win decent money close to home and all you do is bitch.
