Replying to Poll for your thoughts on Contests

Would you be down to go to a rail jam if the entry fee was $50 if there was $500 guaranteed for first place?

Would the entry fee price you out to where you would rather have it be cheaper with a lower cash guarantee or none at all?

I'm trying to put together a big contest for this season. I want to do a guarantee to make it worth while for people to travel. At the same time I'm not trying to price people out. Might have to put up the loot personally for the guarantee so probably wouldn't be able to guarantee anything other than first. Other places and best trick would be based off how many people actually came.

How far would you be willing to drive for something like that if the setup was legit and you felt you had a decent chance to win?


+K for any legit answers.

thanks
