A thought about entry fees... ...The point is, for Appleton's sake I think this event is worth more than a ticket to bad movie. -- Reg

agree 100%.

re: BattleTrax entry fee, i would pay up to $20 to enter without a moment's hesitation if i didn't have to share track time with anything other than street legal motorcycles.

for my $20 entry fee, i want a nice piece of hardware to add to the collection, should i be fortunate enough at the end of the day to deserve one.

Top Time works for me, no interest in "bracket", altho i readily acknowledge the logic and appeal of the latter.

i've enjoyed every BattleTrax i've ever competed in (eleven, if memory serves, altho the two i crashed at were less enjoyable..), and know first-hand that Reg works his arse off and earns every penny of his fee.

the return i've gotten from competing in BattleTrax over the years is invaluable, and IMO a "modest" entry fee is entirely reasonable and appropriate.

Coolice,
That would be great if you and Fiery could make it! Sorry you can't make the track day but there will be more next year.
And yes, you both are regulars and even more important, friends.


Reep,
I understand. Would love to have you come but that is a long way. Maybe if it was a weekend thing?

If I hadn't had a wife with a baby due *any minute now* I would have been at homecoming... So yes, that would probably get me... especially if there were other goodies scheduled, factory tours, guided rides, etc.
