I'm curious how the 2nd feature paid $650 and the 1st feature only paid $200 to start. Not sure how that works. You don't make the show and win you make more then the 4 thru 20 finishers in the main event?

First feature paid $2500 to win & $250 to start. Second feature paid $650 to win & $150 to start.

The payback for this event is the screwiest thing I have ever seen. No car that doesn't make the A-Main, should ever get paid more than a car that makes the A-Main.

LPS's regular payback scale is lower anyway, but it is sure frustrating when your driver runs 9th out of 35 cars and you only get back $275.00, which is only a $25.00 increase from finishing dead last in the A-Main. We go to race as hard as we can, but after 30 laps of fuel, tires, and everything else we made an extra $25.00 more than just running one lap and pulling in...this is the reason why we have went to other tracks more than LPS this year. All positions should account for something. 10th place should never pay the same as 20th place. However, at LPS there is almost no increase in payback until you get to 8th or 9th....

Keeping in mind that at a regular LPS show 5th place pays $350 ...
This annual race gives the racers that may not be regular front runners an opportunity to actually make a bit more money for one night.
35 cars showed, so many must be enticed by such a concept?!?

This is just my opinion and any track or organization can run their program and structure their payout as they see fit.

I feel an "every car runs a feature" show should have equal features with equal payouts. Winner of Heat 1 transfers to Feature 1, winner of Heat 2 transfers to Feature 2, winner of Heat 3 transfers to Feature 1, etc. Both features are lined up using the same format (redraw, qualifying time, finish, etc.).

I understand why a track wouldn't want to use this format - it's too expensive. Using the Burg's payout with 40 cars a regular show 20-car feature payout ($1,500 win/$225 start) is $8,275 plus $2,000 for the 20 cars that didn't make the feature ($100 tow money) for a total of $10,275. Two complete 20-car feature payouts would be $16,550, an extra $6,275.

Zero tow $ was paid. Due to circumstances out several control a lot if equipment got broke. Some during "B" and even those cars got nothing. Every track I have been to pays tow $ as long as you make an effort to race. That means starting the heat race. It's a great event but is unfair in pay structure, and I fear car count will start to struggle until its addressed.

I based my response on the Lawrenceburg Speedway purse where we do pay tow money. I have no knowledge of Lincoln Park's purse structure.

If you show up at the Burg with the intentions of racing, you break in hot laps and are unable to start your heat race or B main, you receive $100 tow money.

I have raced at 9 different tracks this year and everyone has operated the way you described above. I spent $150 in pit passes, $60 in methanol, $30 at concession stand. Broke my car and got no tow $. I understand tracks have to make $, but??? Guess I will go run where they want cars to return.

Finished 8th at Bloomington one night for a regular show and made $360. Finished 5th at LPS one night but can't remember what it paid. If it is only $350 that is disappointing.
