kshrek,

Thanks for posting!!! Will we be able to buy and pay for tickets ahead of the event or can we only get our tickets at the gate??

Thanks for any info you can provide!! :BEERS:

[Duane Heckman]

Paul,
I believe we are only selling them at the gate.

[kshrek]

Duane is correct, there are no pre-sales or pre-registration.

[TWIN86GNS]

O.K.,

I will buy my tickets at the gate then, I can hardley wait until the BPG Nats!!!! :BEERS:

I thought payouts were going to be higher due to rolling over payouts from last year's rainout?

They are. What is posted are the guaranteed minimum payouts. The more sponsors, vendors, patricipants, the more we can pay out.

This is roughly a 25% increase from last year, and as originally posted: If the money is there to increase payouts further we will. Final dollar figures are contingent on revenues and turnout.

[gbsean]

just to add a note TSO/TSM and small block classes were paid out last year that was a total of $3750

I still have my tickets from last year. Will I be able to use them this year because of the rainout?

Yes, if you still have the ticket from Sunday last year, you may use it this year, no problem.

[philip roitman]

Brad I do not throw anything away. I do not have my ticket from last year tho. (Maybe on the floor of the racecar) Do we have a way to check this out from last years books? I will pay again no problem. Thought some people would bring up this point, so at least I am the first pain in the :PANTS:

[Brad Conley]

The only thing we could keep track of, and we did, was the Quick 8 and Super 16 tickets that were sold. There was no way to keep track of individual race tickets. :CRAP:

[gbsean]

Kids under 16 are FREE!!!!!!

[J Banning]

Will I be able to race in one of the bracket classes AND the Alky class?

[gbsean]

yes...same race ticket...just extra $10 to cover shirts

[LV GN]

i didnt save my ticket. any chance john will pay my way in??:SPANK:

[mrgransport]

I see the race fees are broken down by days now on the weekend and not a "weekend" fee.
What is the race schedule for Saturday? Any bracket classes running? Or is it still qualifying and specialty classes?
Will there be time trials Sunday for those who don't come Saturday?

Unfortunately I can not make the nationals (see below), but would like to purchase a shirt if possible. I still would like to support the event in some way.

I have 2 kids preparing to move into college this year in Georgia, so long story short family will keep me busy for the next few weeks. School starts early down here, so please post details of the happenings.

Thanks

Greg,

Email me what you are looking for shirt-wise (size, color, quantity, etc) and I'll do my best to hold you back some.

Are there any classes where a 98 Regal supercharged would do good? My GN is at the plastic surgeon getting a rear end reconstruction.

[Smartin]

Show or race classes?
