Entry Fees for 2009

Dave Steltz · 02-19-2009, 04:59 PM

Anyone heard anything about entry fees for Div 1 races this year...going up or staying the same ?

With everything else I wouldnt be surprised to see an increase...

Another reason to race "elsewhere"...$170 to enter to win 2500 or so...

Dave,
I'm down in Florida Racing in Div 2 and last week I paid $170 in Bradenton and today I paid $160 for Gainesville, Looks like no help from NHRA for the Sportsman Racers.

Another reason I went to Alcohol...140 a drum..ok so I use twice as much..that means 280 compared to how much for a drum of C12 at 11 bucks a gallon ? Close to 600 ? Not to mention the other benefits..

Frank I was tried of running @ 9:00 pm or being skipped.
Plus I want to go faster and the car should be more consistent with less time in the stop and as low as my car sits I can see them (NOW). I also need the grading points for E-TOWN S/C
I'll still run gas @ MASGA

Bill, I bought beer FIRST!

Eddie, it's kinda cold. 54

I think drinking alcohol and sitting in the stands watching dumb asses like us pay for this is the way to go.

Yep....For most guys I dont think you're gonna get much more for a Div win...maybe 3K at best, especially today with so many sponsers dropping out or you having to have purchased within the last few years...
