I checked with the organizers of the event and this isn't completely true.
There is a 75 car limit and yes the cars who have paid for the "All Datsun Meet"
package do get preference on the track. The price for this single day event
is $90.00 early and $110.00 for entries after June 11th. Spectators are free and
can get a ride with one of the drivers. He also stated that tech will be more
stringent this year. Roll bars are required by the track for the roadster.

If you want preferential treatment for the road course you need to sign up for
the
complete "All Datsun Meet" this does not mean you will have to sign up for the
"All Datsun Meet" to run the road course.

If you are not serious about running the road course then you will loose your
money this year.

This is one of the reasons that the tech will be tougher this year.
