How much would you pay.....

Well, i attended the tnt that was a couple weeks before the aborted fall fling, cause i wanted to do some checkout passes. Good thing i did, as i was going up for my second pass, a front brake spring broke and a wheel locked up. So, load up and go home. That one pass , seven seconds worth, cost a hundred bucks. (I will say i might have got ten passes if my car was right.)

wonder what other racers say is the most amount of passes at each event.

but I feel your situation if you breakdown. The more expensive entry no matter how many runs, is a bigger commitment.

maybe test and tune at the cheaper event until you get the bugs out.
