Driver pay?

Is there a 'standard' or accepted pay scale for a hired driver? I've seen 40% of winnings, but I don't know if that's accurate.

If this is a touchier subject than I think it is, PM me instead if...

Re: Midgets are becoming U**Y!

To me, most open wheel race cars, regardless of age, asphalt, dirt, whatever, are like women. They come in all styles and shapes and sizes and the vast majority of them are beautiful. Some you just...

Help me out- I feel like I would have seen this explained somewhere before on the interwebs, but I can't find it.

Re: USAC to mandate safety changes

I'm curious to see what USAC comes up with. My concern with making safety changes based on a single incident. There are many different things that can go wrong in a racecar.

Re: Target Leaving Indycar

Considering the crowd sizes at Indy this year, I'm amazed that they're not dropping Nascar instead. I feel like these two series are moving in opposite directions.

Sorry, completely sold out at the end of 2014 while my driver goes to college. That's why I'm trying to figure out what to do now that he'll be back for next season.

Re: RPM limits for the versions of midget racing that run OE

The way I see it, regardless of the rules, you'll never contain costs. The money just goes somewhere else. Patrick Bruns is now three for three in feature wins with Illini. If you want the same motor...

All the OEM engines will spin faster than they can breathe- I'm guessing the bottom end will take 7500 or so on any of these without issue. The real issue is spending that much time bouncing on the...

Yeah, thanks but no thanks... I realize we're not doing this for the money, but there's no way I can run for that kind of purse. Most weekly micro shows have a better payout.
