If you register by deadline Dec 31 its $100, rebated back if/when you take the green flag Sunday. That hundie covers the Triumph Sprint and the normal $595 weekend fee. So even if the car fails to make it to Sunday, you're only out the $100 not $100 + $595 (her words).  All the other fees like dinners and T & T etc still apply, but you're still saving $595, $695 if you take the green Sunday.
