Default How much are Race/ Practice Fees at Your Track?

I am just wondering how much the club level race and practice fees vary around the U.S. Most of the track around me are $10 first class, $7-8 for the second. Practice is usually $5. One new track is $15/first, $10/second and practice is $8. I only have to pay for myself, but at club level racing, especially if you are bringing kids that adds up quick.

My track is $10 per race class, which includes all day practice. Practice is also $10 for the day if you aren't going to race. If you ask me, that's painfully cheap. I can sit and run at my local track from 10am... till midnight when races are over... and it costs me $10. I don't know of anything less expensive.

$20/$10 in the NE is fairly common for club races. Trophy races typically a little more.

Our club just remolded and they now charge $20.00 for practice no matter how long you are there. Race fee`s are $20.00 for the first but I'm not sure about the second, on Wed night there are around 65 entries and there are only 2 qualifiers for that price because of the big crowd on Sat it is the same price and you get 3 qualifiers.Needless to say I don't practice anymore, I`m not going to mention the clubs name on here.......

Club races $15/$10
Practice $10 all night as many kits as you want.
Trophy races/Points races $20/$15/$10
We also do a father/son discount Kids classes are half of the additional class fee it helps.

Dialed... IF you race more than 1 class entry per week. If you only ran 1 class, 1 night a week... that ends up being $25 per class. Expensive.

Is it the same rate if I race three times a week, two entries a night?

Yeah, it's one rate. Not for everyone that's for sure. I race 2-3 times a week and run 2 classes so its worth it. It's also nice being able to leave your stuff at the track.

Otherwise practice is 8$, 1 class is 16$ plus 8$ per additional class I believe. ( could be a little off on those as I do a membership)

How does the personal pit area work? Like how is it secured etc? Neat concept.

it cost a lot of money too operate. heck the scoring systems are thousands. I think a new amb is around $3700.

the track around here also charges for the transponders.
