Ok who's gonna race the Mint? J.R. your the man when it comes to promoting an 11 race! lets get some people to spar with at the Mint.

I'll still be hobbling around in the recovery mode with my Achilles, but I sure had fun at the MINT 2yrs ago, coming in 2nd chasing Ed. I'm still trying to figure out if I had fun last year with my 13 hr., 68 mile adventure!! Broke lots of stuff but what the heck, it was a kick!

With the payouts the way they are it's cheaper to run a more or mdr race. And just as much fun!

is it? With no payout when or if you win how can it be even doing it for fun as you say Scott you are more in the hole with nothing comming back and nothing to show for your effortexcept a tore up car that your win can do zip to help bring it back into shape, Sorry, I cant agree with you on this, not even close, but Metalcraft sure builds a mean tranny!!and has a nice looking hat!!!A 480ish entry is well worth the chance to win something back, and winning a Mint 400 is anyday better than saying you won a More race. You get so much more than a check, contengincy is so much more better at the Mint or any Snore race for that mater

Contengincy is like the nudy bar,, you want it but you really don't need it, and I realy don't care how tore up the car is, but if someone says there going to pay out then payout!At least when more or mdr puts on a race you know you pay a small entry fee and only get a trophy in return(honesty) not a bunch of hyp(snore)(promise to pay if you do good)

Honesty,, that, if I know I will not win a dime , and are racing for fun then the pay out doesn't matter However if I pay a crapload in entryfees, and put someone in the car that I think is faster then I am and "our" team does good then I expect a payout, not a coupon for a trophy that I have to Pay shipping on and a sick check thats not even made out to who its supposed to be!

Scott, your trophy will be mailed to you at SNORE's expense. The reason I know this is because I'll be the one mailing it. SNORE does vouchers because many people don't go to the awards and some unlucky "volunteer" gets stuck loading and storing trophies. By the way, the trophy will have your name and car number on it. Not a bad deal.

I like more they run a good show
but its not even close to what snore has going on.

Ed I truly appreciate everything you do and sincerly thankyou, however please understand my frustration, I paid 530$ from my pocket so 2 friends could beat the shit out of my car, they do good and I want to share winnings with them, then I find out we don't even get my money back, and yes don wall was flashing a stack of c-notes that would make a pimp cry. If my posts offend I am sorry

No worries Scott. You did not offend me at all, I was just trying to explain paybacks the best I could. It was good talking with you and meeting Jon, he drove the shiz out of your car, but unfortunately the only decent payback is to 1st.

Racing in Nevada is getting scary and expensive. Jean is soon going to be a place you drive by and point to and say "remember when we used to be able to race there".
