zeitgeist57 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm hopeful I can justify the time to go watch. When is it? LOL...the "Post a comment" section at the bottom used "Enjoy666" as a security code. I'll get a screen shot up after work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssFo Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 the city of wilmington needs this to happen more than anything. glad this will end up working out for them.

Tim Davis Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 They are going to need more than this event that's for sure. But we'll take everything we can get at this point. Hopefully local restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc will get some much needed business from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'm not committing to a damn thing till I finish grad school, but the following summer I plan on giving it a try. I will at least go down and watch if not volunteer to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I want to do it until I read it's a $200 entry fee for every race... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wait, $200 for each time down the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I want to do it until I read it's a $200 entry fee for every race... Yeah, plus $50 for ECTA membership. But that is for an entire weekend of running. I have spent $200 in a weekend and not had as much fun as I think I would running a 1 mile event. Considering its 3 or 5 events per season, and I won't run at every event I don't think the cost is that crazy. Either way I want to support this kind of event as much as I can. Having a 1 mile event in our back yard is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wait, $200 for each time down the track? No, I'm pretty sure it's $200 for the event (Friday thru Sunday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 200 would be a hefty price if all you can do is make a glory pass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 200 would be a hefty price if all you can do is make a glory pass though It cost $300 to race in an NHRA event for a sportsman racer, and that only gives you 2-3 hits at the track and then eliminations. $200 is not that much if you think about the kind of event they are putting on. They have to cover insurance, personal, and whatever else plus try to make a small profit. Where else can you go flatout without dealing with cops, and haveing EMT and fire crews there if things get ugly. I will try to hit some of these up just to watch, should be pretty neat.

Yeah for a sponsored team aiming to win money or glory that is chunk change, for your typical guy just wanting to go fast and no big sponsors 200 bucks for a weekend is a bit on the heavy side.

Mr. Jones Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 200 bucks for a weekend is a bit on the heavy side. Whatever you do, don't look into doing any track days / weekends@ Mid Ohio. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 IIRC, The rules are on the strict side, I don't think you can go over 135 without a cage and all that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I want to do it until I read it's a $200 entry fee for every race... Dude, that's nothing to race for the weekend... ....you are talking $2k+ for the weekend when its all said and done at the Texas Mile and that may be on the low side depending on your gas, mileage, and vehicle... Typical one pass, street races cost more than that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
