[Dave Cole 4454]

We are moving the EMPI Class 11 Battle under the lights to Saturday night. Gives us 2 main races on both Saturday and Sunday and lets socal fans get out of Hammertown early Sunday night.

Detailed schedule coming out in the morning including Meeting and Contingency schedules.

I don’t drive class 11 but it’s a shame to see how few of you guys have signed up for Dave’s event. He’s putting $20k up for grabs and giving you all the glitz and glamour with lights and worldwide internet broadcast. And there’s only 4 people signed up. If you aren’t willing to support the guy who is trying to make off-road racing better the entire sport will never change.

Yeah I am blown away at the lack of entries for Class 11. I wish I had the time to build one, I would love to race this race. Its going to be so dang cool. Could not be a bigger Class 11 race on the planet. The Super Bowl of Class 11.

I think everyone that’s going to be there for the first weekend has been really excited to watch this race go down. When I first heard about it I had an immediate assumption that 20-30 cars would show up for that sort of prize money and glory.

12 drivers so far on the Ultra 4 site. Gotta remember that even though they are race cars, they're still vw's and can be temperamental. (obviously both are, now its x2) I very rarely used to sign up before a race cause you never know what can happen a before you even attempt to get there.

This was posted yesterday on the other KOH thread.

 

[Zac Reish]

Are the Hendrickson s and slettons signed up. They’ve got like 6 between thrm

 

[CMA GUMBY]

Dave said no. Sletten is building new...

 

[dirtslinger]

We are out, it's $1750 for the entry all in, for that entry, I would rather pound out some real desert miles vs. a 2 mile course. That's just my reason for not racing.

 

[Dave Cole 4454]

Thats your choice but your math is wrong

1000 entry
150 USAC insurance
70 for 2 pit guys with insurance
50 transponder timing

1270 total to race for driver, codriver, and 2 people with full access.

I get thats alot of money, it will cost me me 40k to put the race on including 20k to a purse, 10k for coverage, 10k for ops, medical and insurance. With ~12 racers and sponsorship, Im going to spend 20k just to have you race.

My point, if its too much, no problem....but at least be real about the costs and dont make it seem like you are getting the short end of the stick.

Sincerest regards

Dave

 

[E.Hagle]

25 laps and the most ideal conditions ever for class 11 with a $20k purse. What’s total mileage Dave? With the short course and the 2.5 mile desert loop it has to be close to 100 miles

You mean JohnnyWeb's freinds' wives....????

Dave, I didn't even try to sign up since it's just not my favorite type of race, like I said, I'd prefer a long race.

As far as costs, I have no doubt that you are spending a fortune on this, and it is much appreciated. That being said, I did over quote what a fellow racer posted what it cost him to enter, I was off $100. I don't think the costs overboard at all, and I don't think I said anything about getting a short end of a stick.

If this was a long desert race, I'd be all over it, and I'm sure I'll regret not racing it.

 

[paranoid56]

i would race, but only have a 51600 car lol, that purse size is super high. I know the others i know have their cars built for mexico so wont work here.

 

[RichieWorx]

This is all that's pre-entered as of today?? I know of a few more coming so it shouldn't be a bad turn out.
Ventura Brothers?
Cisco Bio?
Ryan Rodriguez?
Josh Felix?
Alex Gonzales?

Dave I was charged $1400 for entry. You can see the price in the pic. $150 USAC license. Plus codriver USAC license $85. Plus covid tests for driver and codriver $70. Plus transponder $50.
$1755 is what I have in it so far.
I am not complaining. This is what I paid for my entry in the class 11 race.
