I was curious how they do things at southern tracks.  I checked the entry apps for the Alabama State Championships at East Alabama Speedway a couple of weeks ago. The super lates were to run 43 lap $5000 to win features on Friday and Saturday with a 100 lap $20,000 to win main on Sunday. Early entry fees were $100 per car Friday and $100 Saturday and $150 on Sunday. Reserved parking spots in the infield were $60 each. I didn't see a per person pit fee. A 3 day reserved grandstand top 3 rows advanced ticket was $125 each. They had 7 or 8 total classes running and the lowest entry fee for for 4cly. was $60 per car. They got 29 supers on Sunday and the track was so rough I think 5 finished. They even had cautions so drivers could get more tear offs. Just throwing this info out there but people in Pa. would go nuts if a track charged these prices.

Your entry fee/to win numbers and results are for the National 100. 

 

In September, for the Alabama State Championships, the entry/to win was $100/$2500 Friday and Saturday and $125/$4500 Sunday.  Same cost for parking spots for both weekends.  That had to be tough to swallow considering the difference in payouts from ASC to Nat 100.
