Denny you overlooked the cost of a competitive stocker to be able to play the ladder game if desired. Had a conversation about a top of the line 69 Camaro last week we estimated it would cost in the area of 120K+ to build new. It isn't just entry fees you need a weapon: The car needs to be competitive in a heads up situation which doesn't happen all the time but you need to be prepared while also being consistent enough to go rounds. Then using only enough in a HU protecting the combination your invested money and blood in to keep an edge over the competition in your class. The last 2 years my car sucked in the bracket tuneup had in it as soon as I let it make power is consistent.

Comparing LODRS to WFC is apples and oranges. 1K was used as a basic cost it's actually more most of the time to race LODRS for points as you fellas did to qualify to race this past weekend at a cost of around 250 per race.

To me the WFC may be compared to a national event or even the US Nationals since it's once a year. The best of the best foot break racers attend the WFC, if you think your stocker is fast then you go to the US Nationals to race class.
Anyone that wishes can enter the WFC but the US Nationals am sure is difficult to gain entry without at least 5 GP.
We can talk about how much it costs to race at each and would think the US Nationals costs way way more everything considered. Your investment in the WFC is a way better value if you believe you can get in the money. On the other hand if you have a fast stocker a Wally for a Class Win at Indy is a treasure for most of us.
