    Why is the Friday test and tune now $75? It was $50 last year.

    I believe the track owner has hiked the costs. John can confirm that. There is also no pre registration for this event.

    What Larry said is true, but not the whole story. We, as clubs, are no longer renting the track for the event. The Track Management jacked the rental price waaayy up with no prior warning last year, to where we were barely able to pay for the track, and after much discussion the end result was that they are setting the entry fees and collecting them at the gate and we're content to just show up and race/show without having to work the gate etc. We're still organizing the race classes and taking care of payouts from the money donated by our generous sponsors and Magna is still running the car show. We're just thankful we can still have the event at all so we're not complaining.

    Whats been the bump for Q16 the last few years? I always love the event and its not a conflict with the Nats. this year.
    The years I was there I slowed the cars down to 10.0 and made the program. I don't have a NHRA license so I'm limited to slower than 9.99.

    Gary, the last couple of years it's been around 11.00, so you'd be solidly in at 10.00.

    Finally no race scheduling conflict so I'll be there, at least on Friday.

    Who would even think about scheduling a wedding on a Buick race Saturday? Some people. The nerve! :rolleyes:

    Really hope to make it out there.
    I always thought it was a one day deal. Test and tune on Friday makes it that much better.

    It has been a 2 day event for 21 years. A bunch of us get there Thursday to hangout. Come this year because a lack of cars or people, we may not have a next year.

    Hey John,
    Where do you guys usually hang out, truck stop hotel?
    I tried to get there on Thursday last year but had to “settle” for Friday and Saturday!

    Phil, look at the flyer in the 1st post. Host hotel is the Comfort Inn. That is where we hang out, if we aren't at Woodies. We have Police protection for the cars all night.

    I’m planning on driving. I could shuttle you around if you fly in.
