Topic: Once accepted to a race, what is the deadline for paying entry?

We have just been accepted to a race and our team is trying to determine when the deadline would be for the Hoopties of NJ race specifically.

We need to still allocate money to safety gear and cage stuff so just want to get payments with the team on a schedule and plan that makes sense.

Thanks for the help!

Sooner the better. By 2 weeks before the date is WAY too late. Mourn for your Credit Cards now.

To pay?  For last year's race, "pay up" emails started going out at the end of march, so very soon.  Fees are on the sign up page. 

Where are you located? 

Have you started your cage?  I have no idea of your abilities, so it may very well be in your wheelhouse, but i know I'd be boned if I hadn't started by now.

Read emails thoroughly, it was in it as posted above.  Welcome to Lemons!  We'll be at NJ with you.  Some advice is next time try to have all funds collected prior to the application date, this way you know who is really in.  Guys tend to drop out once money is due.  Not sure where you are but nearly guaranteed there is a local team by you if you need help/advice with the car.

Nick generally sends out one final email on 3/31 saying "pay up or you're out"...and only allows slight tardiness beyond that day if there is a clear and convincing excuse. Otherwise, your spot goes to anyone who may be wait-listed.
