what this actually reads is, Charge more at the gate. Its 35 for GA. The 6 figure races are like $50-100 a ticket. The purse is paid out by ticket sales and sponsorships, so unless some whales put up 100-200k of extra sponsorship money, it aint gonna pay 6 figures. Theres so much more behind the cost of these events that people dont think about. The cost of the 100+ employees at the track, the cost of the lights (astronomical), the cost of track up keep, the equipment they use is second to none, and the owners still need profits too... this is a business for them. This is how they make a living, and if you know specifically the Kokomo Speedway people, its not like they are making millions a year... people just need to understand theres a LOT of overhead on these big events. I agree, bigger purses would be great, but it requires the spectators to pay more.
Get ya check book out an make that happen then don't just talk about it unless you have the funds to do it don't say a word about any sprint car drive would b ecstatic for 45000 to win ik I would b an to win the smackdown all in one id cry regardless of the money you need to realize all these big races didn't get big cause of prize money they got big because of the tracks an series putting on amazing races not cause it's 50000 to win chilibowl an shootout are 2 of the biggest races an they dont pay more than 10 grand
These USAC guys definitely need need bigger purses for the show they put on. Amazing drivers and amazing racing!
Justin Grant and Kyle Cummins put up one hell of a show at the end. Amazing hard, and respectful racing!
Damn I love this Dude
Briggs Danner!
Justin Grant ..absolute domination....
Justin Grant smackdown on that Bacon!
Again, this race needs to pay 6 figures... 5 is simply too insulting for the level of racing they put on. Pay your drivers more.
