Actually the purse is higher than it was 30 years ago. Last I knew it was $5000 to win, 500 to start. There are more $10,000 to win shows than I ever remember. There are 2 in 5 days in May. I realize it's not King's Royal or Knoxville Nationals money, but it's not what it paid 30 years ago.

Think you missunderstood his statement as he was happy to have a couple more races in FL to run in only a couple extra days. If you got only three races scheduled in FL. One gets rained out and you do bad one night, You don't make the cost of the trip. let alone car cost, He took the Wedgewood car to run the Extreme races and the Hoffman Car to run the USAC. Thanks to Mr. Gile for letting him fill in. Proved they had a good car too.

So I know a lot of people on this board have their preferences and opinions but Indiana does have a wing sprint car series with the Schaeffer's Oil Indiana Racesaver Sprints. Yes we are racing with 305 engines. But did you know we still turn faster lap times than the non wing 410's? We also race at all the tracks you would want, Terre Haute, Kokomo, Gas City, Circle City, Haubstadt, Florence, Moler, Bloomington, LPS, Paragon (TBA). Additionally, we are all local drivers either racing to make a name or racing to have fun at a much more affordable price than a 360 or 410. Average car counts have been stable around 20 cars for three years now. Give us a chance, maybe you'll find something you like. Check out the schedule on our Facebook or website.
www.indianaracesaversprints.com PS. If USAC wants to get involved with promotion have them call me, I'm sure we can work out a deal. 🙂 |

I would ask you this....if you feel like you are adequately paid in your job do mention how much you are paid? Does Donny Schatz or Brad Sweet ever say anything about money in an interview?

I see nothing but good from XOS. Could see a three night deal at say THAT of MSCS night one, XOS night two and USAC night three, Switch it up every year on the headline series. Everyone gets their series in the spotlight more fans attending, bigger purses. Or say a East meets west battle USAC and BoSS vs XOS and WAR. I Just speculating where it could go, The cost of running these cars only keeps compounding.
