Finally see what's proposed with the addition of Unleashed, other than that no big surprises (at least not what I can spot on a iPhone in the airport).

That is sad. Alky trash gets $3000 with 8 cars in each catagory and most likley no entry fee. Even if they do have to pay an entry they STILL are not worth the waste of track time. Wonder what they would do if there were only 8 stock or S/S cars who showed up.The regular classes gets $1000 for a $160 entry except for S/ST . Those guys bite it even worse. Even the T/S and T/D cars get more bang for the buck at $1500. The "UnGlued" cars get $1000 for a $100 entry. Who do you think is getting SCREWED the most ? The hand writing is on the wall so how long are you going to take it in your shorts without getting "Kissed".

I see the unleashed payout stayed the same but the entry fee doubled from $50 to $100. A nice enhancement. Welcome to the club! Jim

Wow, I can go 5 rounds and not get my entry fee back. And the LODRS Contingency link is still 'file not found'. Augh... this is going to be like going to work. At a real job.

i dont see how they are goin to get any participants with that entry fee vs payout.

If you want to look for a good thing. The index classes will warm the track before stock runs. Sorry that is the only good point I could find.
If you look at the payout structure the index classes run for the same winning purse but the payout stops at the semi's. So it is pretty much a all or nothing pay structure. Of course in stock you need to win 5 rounds to get your money back so it is not a lot better.

i apologize for being a little lazy for not reading all of the threads that have 50+ reply's so maybe i missed something, but where did the index classes come into play?

I don't think they think they're going to get 60 cars per Index class... they need 20 cars just to break even on the purse in each of those classes. Supply and demand. They know that they're not going to draw twice as many cars even if it's $50. They're hoping to cover their purse with a little room to spare, and those guys may bring spectators/crew with them.

i have ran a number of index races in our area, I cant say for anywhere else, but 100 entry and 1000 payout, there were only 20 cars at the most to show up and alot of the guys were pissed. , now when we had 3000 payout,we had 60-70 7.0 cars and as many 6.0 cars. Between this and all the other hoopla thats goin on, it looks like the Fairlane will be parked for awhile and the mustang will get more racing...
