We would like to get out of losing money
Race weekend went stellar had some hiccups

Couple people that got missed they handled it in the appropriate amount of time
Check your results in a timely manner
We will announce when final results are protested

Starting at round #7 next Pueblo Deadline for pre entry we are closing registration on Friday 1 week before the race! We are hoping that we do this from now on!
Enough time to cancel if needed!
We were staring at a 12000 loss if we do not have sign ups!
55 people signed up after we said we were going to run the race!
We would have rolled entries over to the next race
? Consider setting it up on a tier base so that the ones that sign up early get a discount?
If you pre register at the track it is $20 more plus a late fee of $20 n you go to the back of the grid.
