I see PIR has upped their racer admission from $22 to $25. Plus that $10 "number buying" bs.
$20 was a nice round number. Why not just leave it there? Oh that's right.... we have to pay for the new asphalt.
Better be worth it.   |

| it's worth it. it's been $25 to run at late nights for the last year now. and the new racing surface is amazing! no more cracks or dips after the 1/8th mile, and a really smooth transisition off the launch pad. |

I think it was $25 last year, $22 the year before, and $20 before that.

That is correct, and the new track is smoooth. definitely worth it. Turn 5 has also been reworked a bit. the lanes have been repainted so there's no more confusion about the 1/4 finish line.

 $25 is still cheaper than $427 for getting caught racing on the street in Oregon. Plus the subsequent increase in insurance policy premiums.

As well as the cost of potentially needing to get your car out of impound and any court costs that may accrue if the fuzz decides to arrest.

That is the price for our Friday and Saturday night drags. Wednesday is our bracket racing day.
