Funny thing about the sprints...Who is going to show up? $10,000 to win ASCoC at Fremont and the National Open at Selinsgrove. I'm not knocking anyone here. It's just a question.

The purses in both the Selinsgrove and Fremont races fall off rather quickly, only a few cars can win the big money. Some of the lesser lights from those area (who are still pretty good) might show up. If most of the locals come it should be a good show, but without Danny H. there it will hard to beat Ed Lynch.

Wasn't bitching! Stating the obvious! $70.00 bucks x4 people that is $280. Plus $170 a tire x2 at least. Plus $125. For race fuel and atleast. $100 for fuel for the truck. Just do the math! Not economically smartYeah, 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.

No pal, I'm just a race fan. I've been to races all over the country. I like PPMS and just about any other racetrack i've ever been to. I don't spend my time on here doing nothing but complaining like many of you do.

I've been to Charlotte far more than you my friend, this has nothing to do with the race track or the area. But when you guys start bitching about the price of the races at PPMS, but have no problem driving 800 miles for a weekend, and the attendant expenses, then I'm going to call you on it. I wasn't comparing the two races, just the silliness of your bitching. But as a racefan, I enjoy local racing as much as your big event type of racing. And I'm glad I don't have to drive all day or fly to the Pittsburgher. Incidentally, I will also be at Charlotte in November.

Racing has never and will never be economically smart. It is like doing drugs, you spend all your money for a few hours of excitement. If you want something economical buy a hybrid.LOLWasn't bitching! Stating the obvious! $70.00 bucks x4 people that is $280. Plus $170 a tire x2 at least. Plus $125.

If you could read, my comment was affixed to the point that the PPMS race was not an economically sound decision for a racer from this area. Hence your non sequitur reply.

The price of pit admission is comparable to last year?
I seem to remember that there was an actual feature race, with a seperate purse, on Friday for late models and practice for any other division.
If you can Matt, if someone comes in on Saturday can they race in the features on Saturday? And I am including provisionals?
With the cost of the pit fee, it would be unfair to the teams that showed up for your entire event, only to have someone who didnt really qualify make the race, and pay only a portion of the pit fee, make the race due to provisionals?
Also what is your stand on a car that is qualified and they make a driver change for Saturday?
How about you can only drive the car you qualify?
No switching cars and starting at the rear?
If you want fair that is the way to do it.
