I very rarely peek into this forum, but just happened to catch this.

>> Scott, have you been hanging with Mike Beard lately? haha

I was like, "Whaaaaat?"

>> Mike Beard - If you're out there, just curious how far would one have to go in IHRA ET eliminations to get his/her $400 worth of entry fee back? (assuming the entry is $200, which I don't know)

I would think that you would 'only' have to pay the $150 entry fee, because you've already paid the insurance surcharge for that car. You may want to check with an official, though. Guess you can look at ET where available as a 'buyback'... although I didn't think they were having trouble filling the ET fields, except at races where the car counts were low in all the categories like Tulsa, where presumably everyone would qualify anyway.

But anyhoozits... ET Bracket
Winner - $2,000 (Box/No-Box runoff winner)
Runner-up $1,000 (Box/No-Box runoff loser)
5th round win - $400 (this is R/U in Box and R/U in No-Box)
4th round win - $200
3rd round win - $100
2nd round win - $50

Payouts are listed in the back of every Drag Review.
