What is the purpose of a Twin Sprint weekend?

[Super Dave]

For those events, one ULGP, because it's an ASRA weekend and the ULGP event is kind of pulled under the ASRA banner.

For a regular CCS twin sprint event, one that doesn't have ASRA status, there will be two ULGP's.  Example, GP region is having a twin sprint event at MAM.  They will have two ULGP's.

If Barber is so cost prohibitive to run without jacking up the entry fees AND making it a twin sprint weekend how does WERA run there without doing that and not lose money, or maybe they do lose money at Barber, but i doubt it.

[Super Dave]

They might be loosing money.  It happens to racing organizations that you loose money at some events, break even at others, and make some to cover you losses at others.

The opportunities are always there for individuals to try and develop their own organizations for schools, track days, and racing organizations.  It's not cheap.  Call Barber and see what the rental is for just a test day.  Might be an eye opener.

Actually the fees are similar or less for the majority of riders.

Average rider enters three classes  70/70/50 (with UGP)or 70/50/35 (non purse paying) and 20 gate so 210 or 175
so for two events 420 or 350 plus the assoiated cost of travel, motel for two trips/weekends

for twin sprint 75/50/50/50/50/50 for purse or non purse and 35gate = 360

Oh and sorry on the bad info on contingencies; I thought Ryan was asking me about OEM, which pick and choose dates as Kevin mentioned, when he asked me about Barber contingency.

[Super Dave]

Thanks, Eric.  Helps in the overall perspective.

75/50/35?? i thought it was 75/50/50/50 this year?

[unter_kid]

75/50/50 is only for twin sprints.  For all other race weekends it will be 75/50/35/35.  Unless you tear your MCL, then you're just SOL for the rest of the year.  Good luck with the rest of the year Rob ;)

70/50/35/35... pre-entry price
75/50/50.... post entry price
other than RA, Barber and Daytona for races run out of the Ft. Worth office.
