I don’t post much but this thread has me thinking…
1. How many USAC / WoO teams actually have a budget to make a profit or break even at the end of a season? I’m assuming very few, if any. I also assume most teams have another significant source of income / revenue from another business, usually the owner’s other business. My other assumption is most consider it a loss and understand it as such, it’s the cost of passion (or addiction) for racing.
But… at some point the business acumen that made them successful in the other business kicks in and they look for opportunities to reduce the losses. Thus, more rAces or higher paying races, drivers that bring $$$, etc. come to fruition. Or they leave the sport.
I could be thinking WAY TOO HARD about this, but I just don’t know where any of this is headed, good or bad.
The other thing… do a google search of United States Auto Club form 990. Make up your own mind if they can pay more purse $ based on financials.
