1/8th scale buggy,
1/10th scale truck??
And I'm guessing if they don't make the entrant amount of 50, they will deduct however much is necessary, but if for $1,000 to win for a class, I'd go if I had money for my Radio already
That's sorta the slippery slope some race organizers back themselves into - no "guaranteed" purse, but definately a cut in the purse if not enough show up to make the magic number.
What it does is keep people from traveling any distance because there is no guarantee, but also makes the organizers sound bigger time than they are for suggesting a large purse when in reality there could be none......... if you know what I mean.
No offense to the organizers, but the words "Up To" puts a whole different spin on things.
