So are you saying and this is hypothetical, lets say if it rains at the end of the heats the fans get 50% back and the drivers get 50% of the posted purse, after B's fans get 25% back(of the ticket price) and drivers get 75%(of the posted purse) etc.? I'm not sure that you wouldnt be creating your own problem without some kind of line(s) in the sand so the fans understand what to expect. If for some reason it rained after the first of the B mains in 3 classes and you deemed that the program was 80% complete there might be some pushback. But in reality drawing multiple lines in the sand seems like a good idea from both a fan and driver point of view. If you want to get real technical about it you could divide the number of laps run by the number of laps scheduled to be run and give the drivers that percentage and give the fans the number of laps rained out divided by the total scheduled laps. Have I got anyone confused yet?
