Yes, Charles it was. We watched it during the night at Lincoln Park on my wife's phone and it was money's worth for sure!!! There were several people looking over our shoulders and they commented that it was spectacular.
As you all attested, the race was OUTSTANDING! It’s really hard to complain about the quality of racing in any major Sprint Car series right now. As a person who has never been a wing hater, and bought my Flo subscription for USAC, just think of the value of that now. USAC, Allstars alone are worth $150 a year by themselves but you get them both, not mention IRA, and USAC/CRA among plenty more.
Which race were you talking about? I thought the All Star and the USAC races were both good. The PA guys sure dominated the All Star race. Macri is really good right now. Saw a tour of his shop on Flo. They had a lot of cars. I think it was like 7 complete cars, and more ready to be assembled. It was pretty impressive.

Same as you, I bought Flo for USAC and started watching ASCoC just because it was there. I have become a fan and watch every race. I still default to USAC, but toggle over to ASCoC during track prep and support class. Last nights ASCoC feature was one of the best races I've seen in a while.
Not bad for a weeks work
And that's just PA racing

And what was the cost to produce this amount?
"Being old, isn't half as much fun, as getting there"! Ole Robert I!
I'd say that the one's winning the races are spending more than what they could win on any race they go to. Not every Sprint can racer has the money to run with the one's who could win. Mostly the top 10 in all of the races are spending more to win than they can win. This makes for lots of also rans who just run for the fun of racing which is also plenty expensive for having fun. I see that the 305's are gaining racers from being burnt out racing with the big dogs. I also see that some of the 305's are very fast and could give a 410 a good race when the track slicks off. There are engine builders out there that can make a 305 engine very fast if the racer wants to pay the price. So it is a never ending thing of spending money to go fast.

As another pointed out, there is a video on Flo of Macri's shop with at least six cars complete. You gotta guess for top equipment its about a hundred grand a car 5-7 races between motor rebuilds Hauler, Probably crew chief gets over a hundred grand and a percentage. So no, A driver making 40-50% couldn't fund a team. The Team couldn't fund itself it it got the full winnings but winning, they are actually losing less than everyone else who didn't.
But for a driver if he gets half, seventeen grand in two weekends is darn good. And no plane ticket or hotel stays required.

I have no clue about expenses, but Macri didn't have to travel far for all those wins, so maybe his team did OK financially?
