Read your screen name.."Outofcash" LOL Just wish the race directors would have known how many spots were avab. before entry opened at noon!!?? Maybe next year Ill start a company and give 10 grand to be the title sponsor so I can reserve 20 spots for me and my close friends.. Then when i find out whos not going ill wait a few days to tell the race director or just leave them empty.. Guess I need a week vacation now to sit next to my computer waiting for an open spot..

Pat Clark - I imagine your complaining about only 15-20 seats for sponsors. For an event of this size to sell out in about 4 hours that is foolish. First come, first serve means just that.
I am sure the organizers will take all the comments about entry time into consideration for future events.

If Jeff's sponsor was signing him up, they should have told him that so he did not do it on his own. That would not be the fault of Scotty but the team manager not communicating what his/her intentions was/were. If you are on a major team you should not have to worry about signing yourself up imo. I don't see Toso or Baker in here saying anything about it, their teams are taking care of it. Does it make sense now?
So I guess this race is for guys with full factory rides?? Oh makes much more sense now.. Thank you for your input..

Team Brood is a major sponsor of the race, and we still had to pay our own way and sign up with the rest of you. Garrett didn't even get in because our internet went down while we were signing up...and we'll be running a booth down there.
While the racers are important, without major sponsorship this race wouldn't be nearly as nice as it always is. How about we show a little more appreciation for the hard work Scotty and Boomer are doing instead of finding reasons to bitch.
This is the Superbowl of RC afterall, it's going to operate very much the same way.
