Marc Just my .02 worth I don’t think money racing is a very good deal. To many chances of trouble for something that can never possibly pay racing bills This is a hobby and I would like it to stay that way. What does every one else think? ( If the pay out would pay for my entry fee, tire bill and gas money then that’s a different game LOL)

I have to agree with Skip. I would rather just race. When you start having money given to the winner, people start taking it way to seriously. Too many hard feelings. People will get pissed off at each other. I race to have fun, not to get pissed or have someone pissed at me.

skip - i appreciate your opinion, and agree with it to an extent. But it was my original intent to offer something a little different for RC racers. i for one have always done this hobby/sport for just the love of it. and how many times have you been telling other people about your hobby and they always ask "how much money can you win?" and your answer is probably the same thing every time "nothing, i do it for the fun of it." and that is okay, all we are trying to do is put something on top of that fun. yes we could run a points series and give out plaques or trophies, but you may agree with me that most of those (excluding major championships) usually end up in a landfill after a year or so. so think of the purse as a paper trophy. and if i remember correctly you didn't have a problem taking our money last year. 
thank you again.
reid - also, thank you for your opinion. but if you would ask the people that ran in our points series last year, i think they would all agree that this payout series did NOT have that seriousness that you talk about. we pride ourselves on running a very clean, smooth, and most important FUN program. we did change our schedule a little this year and instead of running the whole summer as a point series we are now only doing 4 races. They will decide the TCCS champion. 2 races will be held in rockford at our track and 2 will be held in verona (MARCCA). we have 7 other races at the rockford track (flyers will be sent out this weekend). i hope you will give us a try you will not be disappointed. again, thank you and hope to see you out there.

Better keep those payouts, Troy needs the money to pay off his Turbo 35.
Seriously though, I don't think they are a bad thing. I don't care what the payout is in a race, I'm not going to be any more or less serious because of it. The Rockford races last year had a payout and they were some of the most fun R/C events I've been to. Payouts or not, I'll be going down to have some fun and some good racing.

I'm with Shane, I didnt only go because of the payout. The racing was fun, relaxed, and i loved the track. It's very cool that there is a payout, i love it, but its not like i would be ticked not to get one. I didnt even expect to finish within the payout. It's fun.. and i'll leave it at that.

Matt,
I need to borrow your one-way this weekend. I know you have an extra one. Do you think I can borrow it? I got your tool done but there were some problems with it. I will explain tommorow. What time are you guys opening for practice and what time is racing starting?
