hopefully someone can shed some light on this one.

according to the schedule for the ex-unlimited gp races at r.a in april, they are throphy only races.

are we being screwed out of what little purse is available?

anyone know the answer.?

     It's because it's a combined FUSA event. This was an issue in '03 for people like me that were following that class all year but couldn't run that class if designated as a FUSA class for health insurance reasons (my insurance does not allow any competition in Pro classes). They then offered a trophy only class for those following the class regionally, and the FUSA version of that race does not count toward your regional points. So if you want the $ do the FUSA version. If your worried about a possible championship do the CCS version.

Right, but FUSA doesn't have ULGP anymore...that's only for CCS races.  Should be a misprint.

     I just remembered that myself and was looking at the schedule for RA on the CCS website and saw the "trophy only" next to the ULGP classes. I wonder if it's a misprint or if it's because of the expense of renting RA?

i think i'll call tiffaney nice and early in the morning to see what she has to say.

what's the point in paying the extra $$$$$ to race ul gp if there is no purse. plus you have to do qualifying (thats what i like about ul gp this year).

what time are the ccs offices open at?

p.s
dave , did you get the stuff i sent to you in the mail yet.

     If your following that class for championship reasons then you pretty much have to run the ULGP trophy only race at RA. The question I would have is if there isn't a purse offered, then I would assume we don't have to pay the higher entry fee for that class correct? Though I would bet that if there is a purse the FUSA guys will run the class and get the majority of the purse money anyways (I'm not complaining, just pointing out a probability). Where as if there isn't a purse then the race would be more representative of the typical competitors in that class that are in the hunt for a championship.

     One thing I am going to like this year with the ULGP qualifying is that you no longer have to pre-enter that class. Since your qualifying determines grid position then you don't have to worry about lost entry fees in ULGP if you have a problem on Friday or Saturday and can't race anymore that weekend. I am planning on entering each days ULGP class individually on the day it is run.

Yes, I did.

Trailer is ordered in a nice color of mauve...

Really, they've got it slated for one of the trailers "coming down the pike" and I think it will be done and at the shop before the end of Feb.
