I beg to differ that no one makes money. If the traveling series fill the pits and the track tries to keep their money and not pay anyone anything, that's $25 pit pass times however many hundreds of people people plus tran$ponder rental for every car. I would love to go to work tomorrow and make that kind of nothing. I'm sure they spend a little on track prep (very little, usually don't start until we start getting there), staff costs, etc, but they are still making a killing raping the racers. Here's what the rule should be. Pay the purse or refund the traveling racers' money. Period. If the weather is that iffy, cancel early enough to save the thousands of dollars of diesel fuel. The track must know they have a problem if they are trying to get the travelers to sign something that they know they aren't getting a refund if it rains.
