Bonus class still needs 33 cars but now includes buybacks.

Buy Back seems kinda steep to me

Same as last year. Before last year it was 1/2 of entry or less

[drphillips309]

Now the bonus class is not such a good deal since the high dollar buyback .

The persons who complain about or do not show up because the payouts were not being "guaranteed" should be happy now.

And if they (gmp) get more participation they will be smiling on their way to the bank as we are wishing we had the tiered system back.

I didn't participate but maybe half the time in this class/ race but that was do to personal reasons. It wasn't that I didn't like the class. I do like this class and I liked that this race didn't have buybacks and wish they would have left it alone.

Scott you and me are the minority on that point according to gateway and I believe it reading some posts on here. They say racers complain when classes don't have buybacks. I just don't understand that but they should be happy now .

So you would prefer no buy backs in any class ?

[drphillips309]

Hell yes. My motor builder Joe at APD loves when I make extra passes and so does the trans people at ATI.

So either you haven't lost first round in a long time or when you do you don't buy back ?

[drphillips309]

I lose first round as much as the next guy but why would I want to split a $40 time run if I don't have to .Most people ask me to split round 1 . So my entry fee is now $85 for sure and I have to run an extra run no matter what whether I win or not.

What does split round one mean 
I dont understand this post

[bartc]

I prefer no buy backs all the time
I like 2 time runs and then move the race along
And get it done
