Question I have is do guys prefer to race for a big purse, or for it to pay out further??? [/quo
I know the original payout was excellent and am hoping that it will be close to the same. I am sure a lot depends on if you can get any sponsors. I also can say that when it comes to running an all Mopar event, I make it a vacation and if I happen to get some coin, great, if not I had a great vacation. If I was doing it because of the payout, I would stay at my home track.

Josh,
One of the biggest complaints at Osceola is that they only pay back to semifinalists.About 90% of the racers went up to Martin last year instead for several reasons,but the guaranteed payouts and how far back they pay are the main reasons.

You are gonna get more cars if you pay out further. The beauty of Monster Mopar is that it paid real good at the top and it paid back well too. 
If you are gonna short change a class make sure it aint Pro. Thats typically 25-30% of your car count for a Mopar race event. Upset those guys and your event will suffer bad the following year. Just my
Erics right again 
I have never understood why tracks or certain event try to pay more for a s/p class over a pro or even a street class .Is it that they maybe spend more COIN ,their choice ?
I like to think of it as a vacation also,but I'm not going to travel 5 hours 3 days hotel ,food ,fuel,souveniers ,and put up with the wife not happy for a small purse and only racing for Sundays purse .
You might toss in backbacks also as a way to help the purse and help payback further .
 Also if you have a race Saturday and I win it ,then win Sundays race I get a BONUS .
The CC also ran same weekend as div 3 in past .Just set the date a so be it ,those will have make that call .

The Monster Mopar Weekend has been our family vacation spot for the past 5 years. My dad even spent his 80th birthday in the pits in 09.
Anyway's, I like your idea about buybacks. Maybe to first round loser's only? I mean 1/2 the field gets to go home after the first round anyways. Offer first round loser's a chance for a buyback and put those monies in a seprate jackpot for them to race for. Then run the buyback cars between the normal rounds. As everyone knows, the deeper you get into normal rounds, the more time the track sits empty between rounds whereas the buyback cars could fill that void and spectators can enjoy more racing than waiting. Just my .02
