Jerry has done a great job at Empire, keeps making improvements, you won't be disappointed. Both of the money races will be very well run with true racers running the race......Howie

Are the $7500's PRE ENTER only and limited to certain amount of entries???
plan to come up for that race but these other pre entries along with all the other off season upgrades are hurting my pocket alittle right now to commit to a race that far out.

it is cheaper to enter if you pre enter on the 7500

Flyer is on the page. $250 preentry by June 1. $450 preentry for doubles, and you can choose how you double, same class or one in each. No max entry limit that I see. Really nice format, I hope the race gets a lot of support and happens next year, not happening for me this year.

3 20s for $595?----seems that 3 $20 for $399 at Farmington for top or Elk creek if a foot braker is a BETTER deal unless its right down the street. Purse guaranteed!

I don't see how it is possible to state what the better deal is with the information provided in this thread.

1/3 less entry for the same purse that is guaranteed----that should be enough information to consider----maybe. Of course if either is right down the road that makes a difference also. But, I was only making a comparison of entry cost for the same purse. Look with 200 entries the $599 deal collects $40,000 more at the gate and pays the same purse. NICE for the promoter!

There is almost no info about the purse! Only what the winner gets, which impacts 1 person on the property each day. Perhaps the extra $40K taken in is spread around to the rest of the field. That makes a big difference in deciding what is or is not a better deal, IMO.

This, along with the availability (or not) of buybacks, how much they are, how many rounds they are available.

All of the big money races that pay good money to advertise here on DRR have event flyers in the Big Bucks section.
