The reason why most of the racers show up is the chance to get their 15 minutes of fame on T.V. the 17K payout is just the icing on the cake.Since all the 16 finalist have the chance to go home with at least enough money to cover the cost of getting there,it helps a little too.I could bomb the heck out of this kind of event.The secret is nitrous.run your qualifying on just motor,then use the nitrous only enough to stay ahead of your competitor in the actual race.if your competitor starts to drive around you too hard,shoot it,get in front of him and lift at the other end.Important trick,disconnect your brake lights.

I screwed up when signing up for the Etown all out race which started at midnight and didnt get my entry in the second time until 12:36AM,and ended up car #889 on the list.Supposedly all 450 spots were filled in 6 minutes.I ws invited to the last chance race and rolled the starting line beam in the 1st round because my trans brake switch isnt rated for the amperage to run my transbrake when the delay box is bypassed so the switch birned up and the car rolled.I am signing up for Maple Grove this year though.
