Well racers, here is the update of the Fall Galot 250 presented by FTR Events. We are not yet sold out as a true single entry event as we would have hoped after 10 full days. I know the flyer said we’d open to doubles after 5 days if not sold out, but we were really hoping to make this work. Frankly, after only 170 cars going down the track this past spring (which can’t happen again), it’s starting to become clear people say they want a single entry event, but in reality they really don’t.
So with that said, we will be keeping entries open till this Wednesday, 9/30/26, at noon. At that point in time entries will be closed, period, end of story. If you are not entered you will not be racing at the Fall Galot 250. I don’t care if you’re my bestest long lost friend, do not call and ask, the answer will be NO.
I hope we’re full, I truly do. And let’s be clear, even if we are full at 250, history shows we’ll have around 225 actually show up on race day. The dog seems to eat a lot of homework in the weeks leading up to the event. History also show that the purse is always 100% guaranteed and is always fully paid with no bounced checks.
Let’s say we’re at 220 on Wednesday. Clearly it would not to right to only allow 30 people to double, no matter how you picked the 30 (lottery, first to have entered, etc). So, we will be offering ALL of those that are entered the opportunity to purchase a second entry AT THE GATE. If the potential double situation take us over 250 entries, obviously we will add the appropriate amount to the purse. We will establish a sliding scale at some point in the next few weeks, ie 275-300 pays X. If someone currently entered has a problem with this plan, reach out to Timothy, Vinny, or myself and we will handle it.
It’s entirely up to you guys how this goes down. Please fill the event, I don’t want or need the headaches that come with doubles. I mean I get it, we all want just one more chance, but if no one does, we’re all on level ground, and you aren’t compelled to spend more money. $490 entry and a $150 buy back is in my wheelhouse of affordability, and I would imagine most of you are the same. And with $250 round money, there is a clear, viable path to solvency.
We are FTR, and we are for the racers…
