Almost all big bucks bracket races have buyback options.
I prefer a lower entry fee and 2-5 K payout, but also since I drove all that way, and if I become a 1st round runner up, I'd like there to be some form of consolation race

I guess you didn't watch the races last week. Each 25K race also had a 5K combo race as a so called "consolation race". There was a separate entry I think $100 for the 5K combo. The entry fee for any of these 20-25K races was about the same as a NHRA national event and the winner and RU made way more than any NHRA national event so the entry fee is not the issue. The race at SGMP was 3 20K races for $900 entry if you raced all 3 races. $325 per race if you raced one or two. The 50K race was $1000 but limited to 64 cars. It all boils down to if you want to race for big money you have to get off the porch and get there. If you do go you have to be on your game the round wins are real tough to get.
