Explain to me just how a promoter can not make money at an event when he has sponsers paying for each class pay out and a sponser paying $15,000 to $20,000 ,race cars,show car,car corral,spectaters,venders and swap meet charges as well as tee-shirt and other sales.Usually a track charges a flat rate for the weekend and or a precentage of the gate.
The main issue I see is poor business practices or bad attitudes on the part of the promoters.A lot of track owners would rather have their own events than have to deal with some of the travaling "snake oil salesmen"
As I have said many times Jeff and Charlie do more damage to themselves than the economy has done to them.I wish both the best of luck.
