Thanks,

Hi Greg,

Its 10K each day, T&Tune included on Friday, entry fee includes one crew, I would guess 1 point, you can do it like me, bring both cars and get two points, although I am not sure how far from VT this track is for you.....if in doubt just bring the money maker and leave the horsepower reduction machine home.

Did you buy that motor in NY as a spare?

Sounds like a great program ! Do you have to pre-enter, or can you pay at the gate ?

Did I read that right, $325 for car and driver? Ouch!! Is that typical of any stock/SS event?

remember that entry fee is for both $10,000 race days

Hey Eric,

I'm not trying to dump on this race, just trying to get clarification. Someone said that it paid $10,000 to win, but that's not how I read it. BTW, Thank you to PC Richards for sponsoring this series. I think the grade point goes to the lesser paying race in Napierville, but with a lesser entry. Again, thank you to Napierville; I was very proud to have won that race. I think this is about a 450 mile tow for me with a lot of tolls; about the same as for you. Lastly, as to which car I can win with, have you been talking with Nancy? LOL!

Where are you in VT Greg? If you live middle to north end, consider travelling through Canada. There is a highway to bypass Montreal; no significant tolls - great roads for the most part.

No it is not typical of a S/SS event.
IMHO,$325 is a bargain!! Try entering a NHRA national, you pay a lot more for a lot less.Oh but wait,..you can win a Wally at a national...that makes it worth it.(embed sarcasm here).

I will be there...in IHRA Crate Motor trim.

This is great! and $10,000 US, that's what $30,000 Canadian? Course for us it's $1500 Canadian to enter too. LOL!

Great to see, and a race in the Miramichi this year too, things are looking up for us north of the 49th!

Thank you for posting a breakdown of the payout. This should be a great race, but I couldn't see how it could possibly pay $10,000 to the winner each day. We have 4 multi-day races in 4 weeks, and I don't see how I can hit them all. I have never been to Cayuga and am thinking of skipping Englishtown to attend this one.

Dave, I live in the southeast corner of VT, so my best route is over the mountain to Albany, and straight out I-90 to Niagara Falls. I think I'd enjoy travelling through Canada, but it would be a lot of extra miles.

Lastly, the Gaffney's have never received adequate recognition for their support in Napierville. Thank you Sean and Kevin.

How's that for jumping all around?
