Lots of local guys in Indiana that are very competitive with USAC and run twice a weekend have around 8-12k invested in there motor. Most buy used motors from the bigger teams, and only need to refresh them once a year, unless something catastrophic happens of course. I don't think more than maybe 4 or 5 teams running weekly in Indiana have 40k or anywhere even close to that in there motor.
As far as the race saver purse. I believe it pays between $500-350 to win, with everyone who makes the feature going home with at least $150.
