The entry blank says the pit pass for Friday is $35. You have listed above that's it $30. Which is it?

[Revin]

Pit Pass Friday $35

Corrected above on outline

Thanks,

As for the Sprints on Friday night can you tell me if it is a open tire rule, tire rule? Is it a open non wing show, meaning is it sancitoned by anyone? Just trying to get some sort of ideal.

Thanks,

I'm still trying to figure out why a pit pass is $5 more on Friday (than Thursday) with no increase in the sub par midget purse along with the $100-150 charge for a backup car.

Sprints are running also that would be a reason for it being $5 more I am sure

I'm still not connecting why I would pay $5 more for a pit pass on Friday for a promotion that's advertised as a midget national event and ironically the sprint car purse is more than for the midgets and the midget purse doesn't even come close to a standard POWRi purse (see POWRi web site). Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm calculating a potential back gate fee ( according to the entry blank) for this event of $415 BEFORE I even unload my midget. I also noticed that FOUR starting spots (see entry blank) have been eliminated for the Saturday midget feature which calculates to $4000 less (based on last year's starting spots) being paid to the midget owners/drivers. If history repeats itself, 20 spots will go to USAC regulars and 4 spots to non USAC competitors. If the USAC provisional rules are used, then that's even more bad news for non USAC cars. Just reporting here what the promoters have published.

Uh oh Don you have violated two rules here on IOW: 1. you are stating facts and 2. you are speaking in negative waves against USAC.

Don has some legitimate questions as a possible entrant, before he tows from Ohio.
DWB, as you most likely won't even be there, why stir the pot?
