And open the link and look at those entry fees - and then tell me you could go to race every week!!!! Yea right - not exactly what the weekly or bi weekly racer can afford.
What's the old saying, if you want to dance you have to pay the fiddler. You can't expect to race for $500,000 and only pay a $250 entry fee.
I understand that but everyone keeps bringing up the BIG $$$$ races and I would like to know how many of these guys posting here go to these races weekly or bi weekly? I'm sure the guys with deep pockets go often but NOT the guy that wants to race once or twice a month. So yea what I'm saying is like mentioned before it's a fad and when the $$$$ dry up it will be gone.
This type of racing has been going on for at least 9 years, at least the no mercy event has.
Stands are at max capacity.
SPECTATORS are what makes the track money, NOT racers.
How packed are the stands when you race?
Do they have to turn people away at the gate, because the track is at max capacity?
There is no shortage of money coming in, therefore there’s no shortage going back out.
Race one event and win $50,000-100,000 ( plus side bets). How many events would you need to win where the payout is $500-1,000?
These events aren’t for the casual racer. These are guys that own shops. Most events the track is open by Tuesday and qualifying is wed/Thursday/Friday. 5-6 classes, with 32 cars each. THAT is where the money comes from.
