Like Stew said, if it comes to $100/person its definitely worth it... I just dont wanna have like 30 ppl show and have to pay $200/person or worse, not be able to race.
Btw... 100 ppl at the track isnt alot at all, especially for all day. You figure thats only 49 more runs before you get your next turn. The biggest thing that ***** everything up at TnT is bike, snowmobiles, JR dragsters, racing the different groups. We rented a local track with 25 guys for about 4 hours... I seriously got in 15 runs and I was letting the truck sit most of the time and that was with only one lane open. We could easily get a run in every 1/2 hour if you want
Rental is definitely the way to go, we just gotta get it to were we are only paying at most $100/person

IF we decide to rent the track out we would have to get payment in advance for this...I know how this **** goes and when a single person pays in advance and tries to collect later from everyone else they always get screwed. I refuse to be that person, and I don't want anyone else to get screwed either. What do you guys think.....try and get enough trucks to rent the track (would that be so many that we won't get many runs in anyway??) or try and find a different weekend where maybe there's an all day test-n-tune or something?

Ok so here's my proposition. We set up a new paypal account, and everyone contributes their $100. If we get enough to pay for the track rental by a predertimed cutoff date, like Oct 1 or something, all that money goes towards the rental. If not, all of the money gets refunded back to the people who paid. Seems like a win-win, other than the fact that people who pay might be out $100 for a couple months until we determine whether or not we will have enough people to rent the track. What do you guys think?

full day sounds more fun IMO. people are driving a long ways to race.
so at 100 per car i say we shut down the list at 60 trucks. no refunds, no bs. redistributing money back to racers could become a royal PITA. it will also encourage people to pay up faster because theres a limited # of spots. make sure and invite 9ball from tech. im sure he wouldnt mind seeing what he created haha.
