You need to realize that although the layout looks fairly easy, and the fact that they are going so fast on it....each little bobble amounts to seconds...not tenths. You need to be perfect for 6 mins to make it into the main. Also the layout is being switched to run reverse for the second half (SC & 1/8th) of the weekend. It needs to be able to be switched easily, so large jumps would not be possible.

$85 per class
$30 for set tires
$-- the inevitable money for parts, even for oil or diff rebuild of you don't break anything
$25 roar membership if you haven't already purchased one

And it would be boring for one race so I would want to race 2wd and 4wd so times by two.

Oh and gas. Pretty expensive.

Dont worry. If you cant be fast with the current B4.1, You cant and wont be fast with a B5 or big bore shocks. Just simple facts. If you need the latest release go buy an RB6.

This isn't a big air track. Big air tracks are highly over rated. I'd much rather have a technical FLOWING track. Technical doesn't mean tight 180's. It means your lines are crucial. Our locals who are there racing say thats exactly what its about down there.

Should provide for some tight racing

+1. Its always make for some tight racing when you are not having to battle the track. Makes qualifying alot more important because everyone is almost running the same speed.

Drivers will have to really stay consistent and hits there line every lap.

My point is that I let my minions carry my stuff. ;-) We do keep extra parts in stock though. My focus is on perfecting my driving, but I'm not going to punish myself by not driving the rest of the night if I do break something and the hobby shop doesn't have it in stock.

This is one of the dumbest comments made. I bring a ton of stuff to the track. And very very little of it are parts. I run outdoors in the heat. I like to be as comfortable as possible. How does that have anything to do with my mindset?

I never said anything about the cost of going to a National, which is inherently costly to begin with...this is known. I was stating why someone who thinks the layout is so "easy," why they wouldn't be there to put it in the A??

LOL try going to a nats at a track that you have no idea what the dirt is like, take 10-20 fronts and 3 times that in rears. Buy more at the track.

You forgot to mention the real expensive stuff, food and lodging.
