ENTRY FEE: As you may know, track rental for all Regions at LRP has almost doubled this year. This means a significant increase in entry fees. The Region can not afford a large financial loss in sponsoring this race but also does not want to overcharge entrants. As a result of the track rental increase the entry for this event will be $350, but if there are 200 paid entries for the National Race, Mohawk Hudson Region will send each entrant a $25 check for appearance money. If there are 200 paid entries, the check will automatically be sent to you, provided your address and name are legibly written on your entry and you are not entitled to a full refund. SRF, FSCCA and SRSCCA cars must add $10 compliance fee.
