Didn't QMA have a hardship entry for the grands if you hadn't run any of the other races?

Just making sure if I am correct.

Ya, I believe the 400 entries are correct, dont remember on the track champion deal though.

I believe the latest hardship fee was $150 per car, dont remember for sure but I think it raised because QMA raised their per car States Race fees last year.

They build/built a flat track over by the r.v. parking

Yes that is Correct Scott, I am pretty sure that USAC will end up doing the same thing, the bottom line is if they want the car counts they are going to have to figure away to get the racers there.

It's been a few years but it seems like with QMA if you did not run the qualifier race you could just pay a couple hundred bucks (per class) and you were allowed to race.

You must run this race or pay a hardship fee to race their national event. Last year you would of had to drive to Lansing MI. to qualify. With USAC it is the same way, not a new idea.
Also the USAC championship at IMS is a replacement, for now, for the Gasoline Alley Nationals run by the Nervo family as a JSCA event, not QMA. This event has always had a waiting list in the past so I believe car counts will not be a problem.

No pissing here either...and I'm relatively new to QMA, so I don't know all the details as you do. Thank you for your info. But I'm not at all new to racing, and though the idea of just paying a higher entry fee is better than the extra cost of driving that far, I would of thought with starting a new deal, and in this economy USAC might consider making it easier to race than that.

i don't have a quarter midget thus, i should probably keep my mouth shut but, i can't. does anyone, besides me, think this "point two five" cr@p sounds extremely corny and "trendy"????? i don't think there is, or ever was, a problem with the term "Quarter Midget".

Re: USAC - Rule Book for Point 25 Racing is Done!!!

Yes...jokingly, we've started calling my TQ, a .75 midget.
