the whole idea of non quailifers is to help pay the purse,you get 16 cars the show only pays for itself,if you get 27 cars the event makes money,and everybody wants to be in the show




Actually, with what Josh paid out in Quick, it took 28 entries just to make the payout. Racer entries NEVER pay for the show. It is spectators and sometimes concessions that actually put the money back into the promoter's pocket, if any is left after track rental, track employees pay, track prep (glue, clean up, etc), wristbands, etc. I know most don't think about those things because the racers usually just see the one dimension of "My class had x amount of entries and it pays x dollars to win". Nobody likes to take into account all the other things it takes to put on a show, money wise.
