Yes the pre-pay is a big pain in my ass, I did it on about 5-6 of the other events. But when people have to pre-pay they get their shit in order and show instead of throwing there name of the list and hoping for the best. Pre-pay events have about a 5% no show vs. the current system of no pre pay (which was the tracks idea to drop it) and we get about 25% no show on average. This time we had 40% no shows on the pre=paid list, that is unfair to others that want to race and could not get on the list in time, unfair to me on many fronts, and unfair to the spectators that are looking for a lot of cars right away vs. people tricling in since they have not paid already.

Bottom line, when the pre-pay is in effect people show early and we eliminate almost all of the other problems. Plus it keeps the shitbox cars to a minimum for some amazing reason.
