To the victor goes the spoils.
NOW YOU’RE THINKING LIKE A PROMOTER! Emmett Hahn would be proud.

I have to agree 100% with you! Win/Win for fans and Win/Loss for several race teams. Tracks have to have fans to pay like this, just saying. Maybe this pissin match will continue on for years and more race teams will prepare and up their game for two huge shows in March. Stands must be full, or neither show will happen butting heads like this. JMO
Isn't a race supposed to be a competition. In competition not everyone wins. If the prize money is increased, shouldn't it be a little harder to win? Wouldn't be more rewarding to those who are successful?
Calling it a big sprint car race but at the same time saying you’re going to run them off really quick so you have time for all the stock cars is kind of hypocritical.
“The goal is to have sprint fans out by 9:30, this race IS to cater to the sprint car fans mainly, since this IS a big sprint show. Plus you never know what the weather is going to bring, being this early in the Spring”
I don't see anything mentioning the other classes. Maybe you are just trying to start some **** !
Yeah I’m not sure how we are trying to cater to the stock cars when we are trying to get the sprint fans on their way home because a lot of them aren’t fender fans. Promoters can’t win. Lol
