Any word whether the $100 entry covers the drivers' pit pass' or not?

That's what I am talking about. Myself and my pitcrew will cost me $340.00.
I was wondering if the $100 entry included the pit passes for the driver.


Thanks,

It looks like all divisions have the same entry? i'm thinkin 100+40+40+70(for gas). Just 250 to get on the track. It is $1500 to win and $100 to start though. I hope we get alot of cars.

lates, mods and supers are same entry but more money to win and start. Wasn't the entry for late models last year 200+? Seems like maybe we are paying the late model purse. I know the lower divisions pay the higher divisions' purse and thats just the way it is. But we deserve to be taken care of just as much as the late model and super street guys.
What's this "if you don't make it to saturday" stuff. All we run on Friday is heats. c-mains, b-mains ands a's are all on saturday.

it says on the flyer you can buy your wayto the back of the c-main for $150...that includes pit pass

quit complaining and go race. the entry is what it is. u dont see all of us american stocks complaining about our nationals. we have to pay 85 for our entry and pit pass+gas and were only racing for 500 to win. so if your in it for money then go somewhere else cuz u wont find it in california for any dvision, but if ur in it for fun then quit complaining and go have fun. i will be racing in thise race with my american and im not complaining. just pay it and have fiun. if ur worried about it then just go win the 1500 and get more than ur money back. and also i dont know who IGOLOW is but i think there wrong. hobby stocks have grown a lot over the last couple years and there r a lot of people that enjoy watching them. u may not like watching them but u r one of the few at bako i bet. so u should keep that opinion to urself

kevin does have a point about if your in it for the money get out. but ponder this one ,in order to break even or make money you would have to finish third or better!!

My concern on this issue is not just for myself, but also for the potential out of town guy. On a typical night you pay $30 to race and get $25 back if you get last. For this race you have to get 7th to get your entry back. At $100 inc. pit pass, I think the pits would be packed with cars from all over. At $180 I am afraid many cars will just sit this one out and wait for the twin 50's. Don't get me wrong, I think Scott and the speedway staff have done a great job all year. All I want is to see a hobby stock race at the speedway with 60+ cars. That's what the track deserves.

Chad I would like to join you and others at the Bud Nationals but it is unlikely I will be there due to the cost. While I agree with your conclusion I disagree with your arguement. Every racer has a budget that he must live by. Your budget can't be based on potential winnings. You have to go to the track assuming you will win nothing.
Every racer is on the track because he/she loves the thrill of the race. Winning money is just a bonus. Some racers have enough talent to win races consistantly and enough karisma to win major sponsorships. These are the few that do'nt have to pay out of their own pocket to do what they love. The rest of us must pay to play.
Also if you looked at the nightly cost to race an LM vs winnings compared to the cost to race a hobby vs winnings you would see the hobbies are the favored ones.

There was quite abit of interest expressed at SMS last night and I would guess at least 5 or 6 FS are going but I won't try to speak for them by giving names.

Pit Passes are not included in the entry fee
