Please don`t let the 100 be your deterrent to not go if you really want to race... Every race you miss is one you won`t get back. Besides , everyone who owns a sprint car should try a USAC sanctioned event once in their life. Just to get to know the officials , admire their professional appearance and their special attention to the local drivers issues will offset the 100 dollar penance incurred in your winnings. Winnings will be a check mailed to you a week after the show , so make sure you have truck fuel money for the ride home. I`ve never had them make a mistake with our pay , so I don`t know what recourse a guy would have if that happened. Who knows ?... It may be something you enjoy and over the winter you will decide to get the 2013 membership. Have fun what ever you decide .
