That is why the 66j will be safe and sound parked in the garage.

The way things seem here, I wonder what the draw would've been if North Vernon had a $3000 to $5000 to win show Monday or Tuesday. Would've been fun to see what locals would've shown up.

So, if Clayton would make all 7 races, that is -$700/ Est.$300 for entry fees, that is $1,000 dollars?????? AND THAT IS JUST ONE CAR!!!! The more things KM does to meet his MILLION DOLLAR (that $1,000,000 is not a made up number) payroll, the happier I am retired , this is another situation I would have to try and defend that is poor business. That guy must wear safety shoes

And yet we (including us) as fans continue to support this by flocking like lemmings to any usac event...Yet another microcosm example on why things will never change in this county

Didn't USAC up their purse this year to guarantee $5,000 to win and $500 to start? So what if they require you to be a member, shouldn't there be extra perks for those members? The -$100 deal was stated on all of the entry forms. If you go to the USAC website, there is a link which clearly states that fact, it doesn't look to me like they are trying to hide anything from anybody. If I recall last year, looking at some of the entry forms I don't think all the races paid $500 to start, so they did up the start money. Plus, doesn't USAC have an incentive program if you're in the top 10 in points, with free pit passes and upped purse money, ect? The $400 start money is still better than going to run a local show, which may only pay $150-$200 to start.

You still get the tow money but between one crew, driver, and temporary permit entry I'm usually giving them $100-$120 to get $100 tow. Chinese math major not needed to figure that one out. Local guy who sucks like me knows it's a loss of a couple hundred a night going in, having said that, I'll still be there caboosing the field with a big smile.

I just wonder where the money goes when you take the $100. Does the promotor who takes ALL the financial risk get the money back, or does it end up on 16th street ?

It seems to me if you put up the purse money, and some purse money doesn't get paid, the promotor should get the money.

My question would be that every sprint week venue agrees to the same purse, $22,450, but if say 10 non members make a show.. Does USAC give the promoter $1,000 back at the end of the night??

So, who must be a member - the car owner, driver, or both?
