Here we go with all the hating and comparing on events. CRCRC is a good event and it is a hell of a drive for most drivers in this area. Your racing fee also covers the 37 dollars. I am racing two class and I paid for private parking and my total is $135. Look at what you are getting. You can go to all the events in the place a that is cool as hell.

If you choose not to go that is on you, but please do not come and try to talk other out of going. Just do not come to the event and do not post. Then you can call all your friends and ask or read about the event later.

This is a event that the northeast wants and needs. Others race all year around and we do not get to do that at all. So please keep it clean and keep your negative comments out of this post please. What ever happened to at the event last year post it in your forum you started. That is my 2 cent because stone cold said so. lol

I am ready to have some fun. I might just run 4 class just because I can and I love this hobby.

no that is not it as i stated before. especially from the electric folks' POV. its the 15 tacked on after announcements (and listings) that it would be 50 a class. the registry was setup that way and in the last 24hrs, the 15 'random fee' was tacked on for both u nitro and we electric drivers. throw in increased parking rate and it does stack up. but my principle issue is with the price jack in public over period of 24hrs.

techinically since the nitro registration was up 1st (then the electric mistakenly linked to the nitro classes as i pointed out to them)...nitro drivers could have signed up only to now have their fees short b/c of the 15$ added

sad

I'm definitely running an extra class at Bumps' Christmas Classic now just to show "who does it right".

Are you Guys for real? I wish the big races I attend were only 65 first,50 rest. You really should just not go if $15 is breaking the bank. I mean c'mon it costs alot of money and takes alot of hard work to put on a big race like this. You can't expect them to do it for free. At the end of the day its a business. You should just be happy your not paying $80 a entree w/ no break for the second class.

I am not much for posting on here so I'll keep it short. There are some thing that need changed on the electric side of Motorama and I hope to have answers within the next 48 hrs. My partner and I Own The Hidden Hangar Hobbies in Harrisburg, Pa we are being brought in to do two things 1) oversee the building and operations of what will hopefully be the best indoor "dirt" offroad track in central pa Frank Henry will be designer and builder 2) to supply all racer with enough parts to keep you racing and having fun all weekend. We know that things in the past happened and can't really fix that other than to learn from mistakes and do the best we can do!
so much for that being short any questions or concerns I always here pm or call the shop ask for Luke or Lou
Thanks
Luke J Slabonik

Please do not start another thread! I have contacted a admin and he will be putting a sticky on THIS thread to keep it at the top of the racing forum as "Important" so please don't start anymore threads and add to the confusion.

I cant believe $65 for an entry fee. That is just absurb. I didnt even pay that much when I was racing my real car. Track time wasnt even that much. Damn that is killer. Hey are the Rides, games, and activities Included in that price?

was the spectator entry that much?, geez, i dont remember it being that much, actuly i think i got in for free??? hmm,,
well in that case i guess it's not bad, exsept the part about having to pay the full 65 each, if your racing electric, and nitro, but then again, would that be possible i wonder, with the timing and all. hmm.

I would bet just a one day fee to see Motoramma is at least 25 bucks plus parking. I been going to this event for 20 plus years and it has steadily increased in price. Every event at the FarmShop complex has increased in price and not a little either.

As for price I guess each individual has to decide if they want to spend that kind of money or not.

Ron I feel sorry for you having topay ROAR prices for the two local Nats as your getting hosed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
