‼️UPDATE‼️ EVENT PAGE CREATED‼️

We are considering having a pop up jackpot Friday night.

Who would be interested?

It’s a little late to find concession but I will ask our girl Kisha AND we will need barrel setters. I can’t run a show efficiently without barrel setters.

If we decide to do this keep an eye out for the event page and pre entries would open asap.

🔥PLEASE READ 🔥

Last night's results. Congratulations to Hannah Morin on not only winning it but also getting second!

Now to the business part.

At our last race, we had:

• 40 entries
• $45 entry fee
• 80% payback
• $250 added

As most of you know, the majority of payout comes from entry fees, not really how much is added — so lower entry fees = smaller payouts overall.

👉 Fun Fact- $1,510 went to the payout from entries it would have been $1,230 with a $35 entry.

I’d really love your feedback on a couple things so we can make this better for everyone:

👉 Entry Fees & Payout

• What entry fee range feels affordable to you right now?
• Do you prefer a lower entry fee with smaller payouts, or a higher entry fee with bigger payouts?
• What makes a race “worth it” for you to enter?

👉 Race Times (especially for our upcoming Friday night show)

• What time do you realistically need exhibitions to start?
• What time should the open race start to make it doable after work?
• Do later start times make you more likely to come, or less?

Right now, we’ve been doing:

• Exhibitions at 6:00 PM
• Open at 8:00 PM

But we’re wondering if that’s actually hurting turnout for some of you.

We truly want to build something that works for the majority, so your input really matters. Drop your thoughts below! 👇

I will also be adding in the comments what the payout would have looked like with a $35 entry.

We are doing all this because we want bigger shows with more added money and good payouts so let us know.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Facebook friends & family who have business pages beware! Our page Forest Edge Ranch received this poor review and brought our 5 star rating down to 4.7 We disputed the fake account and it was not removed!!!

It’s unfortunate for everyone who runs a business page, who has good standings on Facebook for their so called “review board” not remove fraudulent accounts and reviews. It’s unacceptable.

I’ve been receiving many many messages to this nature on both our business pages and I keep reporting them and nothing is ever done. If anyone has any insight on how to I can actually contact a person at Facebook please let me know. Thanks!
