It was $25 registration, $25 pit pass, and $20 for the transponder. Unless things have changed, I think that's what you can expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well someone told me they added a 25$ charge for the car so they could raise the modified purse.That makes it 105$ the first time.I hope thats not true.It makes it cheaper to drive to Corpus to race.

I checked the website and it states the same thing. If the info isn't correct, someone should consider updating the website. Many of us out of town racers count on that info to be accurate.

frontstraight Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The entry for one night, one car should be: $25 pit pas $25 car entry $20 transponder rental $25 registration (one time per season) $75 minimum guaranteed to win $25 to start The win money will increase with higher car count (18+) to the best of my knowledge, but will be at least $75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 G.B. Look at it this way. If you win on your first night out, it says 18 or more thunder cars pays $100 to win. You could go home with 5 bucks and a trophy. Thats cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTChassis Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Might not mean a whole lot, but I know the pay is ridiculous for all classes. So if any out of town cars other than Limiteds and Mods want to come down, Ill loan my transponder for free. 20 bucks is 20 bucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hotchassis that is indeed a genorious offer and I will relay that message.Its a shame that someone doesnt pick up sponsership with the entire class like Mike Carey did and at least sponser the gate fees for the entire class.RGS has a really great bunch of new and experienced teams running in this class now but the message the track is sending is "If you want success racing here,you must run open wheel cars".I see the disappointment in their faces when they are taken for granted.The happestest nite was last year when you had the mechanic races for all classes.The Thunder guys usually dont have money to bring mechanics so there were no entrys for them.When the Tomilosin (mispelled I know,sorry)family offered to put that portion of the mechanics money and trophys in the Thunder feature purse I saw a lot of very happy faces.It would take so little to make so many happy.If I were able to I would put money in this group because its the roots for future teams.I keep hoping someone like Driveline would see this and lead that fine bunch of racers but everyone is too involved in their own indeavors and thats understandable.I have been involved with minis for over 30 years and really enjoy helping these guys what little I can.They always have been the most misunderstood group always.Most really love their 4 cyl car.So thanks again,it does mean a lot.
