Quote: 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.
Could not have been said any better ----
When you run a "series" you have to also consider what the "series" brings in and that is your year. It was NOT a one race event so if they made less at one they could make more at another. Love it how the purse was cut due to car count at one event but did they ever raise it when the car count was way up at another? I think not
2012 will be a very interesting year to say the least and I will be open to much more then following just a Mopar series.
