Thats an easy one.

Weekly racing doesn't bring in spectators. So no real income from seats, parking, or concessions.

Racers won't pay huge entry fees weekly, but don't want to race for small purses.

Insurance is high due to possible liability. And the insurance requires on property emergency services which are not free.

Dragstrips require lots of space, which in turn converts to lots of property taxes.

So unless we can find away to draw in spectators to support the track costs, they come out of the racers pockets.

Heck even po-dunk little roundy-round dirt tracks pay the racers their entry fee and more for just going a few heats because of the money generated by the spectators.

More and more track owners have found its more profitable to have a fun nite, which requires no pay-outs, draws more spectators, and requires minimal track prep, than to run an actual race.

Now the REAL QUESTION is how do we fix the problem without using our own pocket books???
