If you are talking about the Monster Mopar World Finals then you should be fine sending it now (I think you have until August 30). That web site has soooooo much old information (mixed in with new info) that it is hard to read.

Wow, the Sportsman entry fee is three times more than it was last year. Weekend spectator fee up too. This may be the first one I miss since the Chrysler Classic started in the 90's.

Yeah it is more, but it is 2 races with $1500 to win each day....that's a pretty good pay out for a foot-brake race...then again, I might be a little biased since I made the finals in sportsman at the Indy Monster Mopar race in June ....that was a GOOD day, even with the rain.

That's an issue I see with some of these races. Why FORCE people to pay for two days. That chases the guy that can only attend one day away. I pay 45.00 for a chance to win 800 at my local track (now 1000 as another sponsor stepped up). Add in travel costs and it just doesn't make sense. I would never travel and pay 150 dollars for one chance at 1500. Two days maybe, one day NEVER.

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

It does seem a little pricy but I havn't been able to go many times this season it's more of a vacation for me than anything. Bob leeth is putting a new Dana under my car can't wait to try it out

I agree on the vacation part with only 2 runs a day without the gamblers and all.I hope mother nature plays nice for us.I hope to see you there.

Looks like I might have to pass myself. Just to show my car would cost me $100 for one day. Unless I'm reading things wrong. Last year it was a lot cheaper.
Why the price increase?

Yep! That is why we are going! Catch up with old friends and make new ones. Hard to put a price on that. If you are doing this to make money, you will be broke before you know it. Tell Bob we said hello and to look us up!!!
