Welcome Eric. I really don't think that I kicked much ass this year but did OK after coming off dirt for the last 6-7 years. We will have a good time in Florida and stay safe and get home soon.  Again,Welcome to the site.

Joe here from San Diego.  Long time road racer in SCCA, IMSA, NASA going Legends oval racing.  Just bought a fixer upper car.  Some basic quetions,  what do entry fees cost and how often do you go through tires, I know the tire thing is very dependant on track etc, just want to get a general feel.  Also is there any prize money or contingency money available?

Thanks from a Noob to Oval Racing.

Welcome to the site Joe.
It all depends on the track you're at. In WI, pit passes are usually $25, and it's $250 to win at regular shows, but that will vary from track to track, and series to series.
We also have a points fund in our series here.

Depending on the cut of your tires, and how fast you want to go, I know people that put tires on every 3 races, and some that will go 8-10 races on a set

Thanks Steve....I will try and read everything before I post too many dumb questions.   We will be spending the next couple of months getting the car ready and hope to run over the summer, my driver my 19 year old son is a road racer in a spec miata, so this should be a big change.  We are anxious to get going.

Hi, I am Jeff Neal from Bend, Oregon and I just bought a Legends Car out of Phoenix that was road raced in Phoenix and Las Vegas.  I have been autocross racing for about 9 years and have done a few track days and a CHUMP car race.  I bought the car to autocross race with and to participate in track day events (all road course race type events).  We can also run on a kart track in Medford, OR.

I have already gotten some great help on the board and really appreciate all of the friendly help.  This is my first motorcycle engine powered car, so I have some learning to do.
