I'm all in.. Even heard from an SDBA guy that this will be better than Waco, so he's going to El Reno. I know Chop and a few other Outlaws are going. Nordic Hammer will be there also.

Well for me it's closer and cheaper. Last year El Reno cost me $50 and I could use all my own safety gear. Chouteau cost me $350 and I had to borrow a helmet, life jacket and impact shorts. Basically for me to start running SDBA I'll need to spend about $800+ on new safety gear and all but 2 races are over 6 hours away. I prefer the clock start and index classes seem to be more fair. But for $50 you can hangout with friends and with double elimination you'll run at least twice.
Just my $.02

The 10 hour drive both way is what gets me. If I had 4 races within 4 hours like I used to back in the CSDBA days I'd buy new safety gear and run ME. But with Chouteau and Wheatland being the closest and everything else going 6 hours plus its tough. Right now even though I have vacation my jobs isn't letting me use it and to do a race like Waco I'd need to take the Friday before and Monday after. I can't do it this year but I keep hoping. :smile19:

Lake Racer has a $150 entry fee. No eliminations, no payout. It's a grudge race class with timing lights. It's also restriceted to boats 80mph and slower. I'd have to de-tune to run it.
I'll take double eliminations and run all out over having to slow it down any day.
$150 with no payout vs $50 and chance of a payout is a no brainer.

I used to go to "run what ya brung" night every Friday night at Pueblo Motor Sports Park when I was stationed at Ft. Carson. It cost like $10 a night to bracket race for a trophy and you didn't have to back off your tune or shoot for an index. Dial in a time and run it all out.
If SDBA could even come CLOSE to what an asphalt track could do, I'd be all over it. I'd gladly pay $50 to dial a time and run against other boats that have to run their dial.
When I ran at Pueblo, I had an 11 second bike which at times I had to run against 16 and 17 second cars. I always ran my dial and would kill em. That is some fun shit right there. Prolly why there's about 2,000 guys racing cars for every one of us draggin a boat.

Not trying to start an argument, everyone has their opinion. I just want to say for me safety is a major factor. I was lucky and walked away from a crash that could have easily ended my life. I appreciate SDBA having driver safety number one of their objectives. I have seen so many stupid things at these run what you brung deals. Everyone who thinks it could not happen to them are the most surprised at the hospital. SDBA is a quality organization that I am proud to be a part of, until you get involved with them you really do not know the extent. Ok off my soap box now.
