 I'm hoping Marlo can come up with the $3500 entry.  If so the rest is easy compared to Australia. (pronounced Strialur)

That's "chicken feed" next to the expense of getting the car and crew there and back.

$3500 is the non refundable Pre Entry,, Estimated $104,000 to be shared amongst entrants,, at the moment thay have seven, thats almost $50k each and thats just the Entry,, then, plus getting the vehicle there and back, plus Rental vehicles, crews flights, accomadation, food, etc, $$$$$  :?

Hmm must be using the new math $104,000/7 = $14,800 each $104,000/ 15 = $6,900 each. Yes it's not cheap but you are guaranteed a 15 mile smooth rock hard course with no weather issues FIA and FIM world records.

   At a swap meet today saw Marlo, Bolivia is off the table. He put his blowers back on and will test in July track willing. He is still hoping for the big number but getting stopped is his concern. His testing will be about braking distance probably after that 500mph pass I hope
