The biggest difference between ASCOC and USAC is 3rd thru 10th, with the All Stars paying better. WoO is by far the best paying gig in Sprint car racing.
Josh Richards won this year's WoO late model championship and then announced that he was switching teams and going to run the Lucas tour next year (whose championship pays less). Maybe sometimes it's not just about the money. Whatever the reasons, I wish Brady, Chad and the Hoffmans all the best.
You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

Basic WoO purse that covers 80% of the races: $47,800
All Star purse: $24,700
Usac: $21k (not sure the exact amount but it's close)
OK. What is the average ticket cost per event? This is where having a strong weekly program in Indiana hurts USAC. Could they ever charge the same amount as the WOO?
All Stars and USAC have comparable ticket prices. Being that they are both regional series that makes sense. WoO tickets are about $35. The difference is WoO is the only true national series in sprint cars. They race everywhere in the country, and have the biggest teams.

WoO Late Models runs under UMP rules and if you keep up with late models there's a reason so many drivers have defected from WoO to the LOLMS. Same reason drivers weren't allowed to run any UMP sanctioned races the back half of 2016 and why a lawsuit was filed earlier this year.
It is great to see Brady will at least back for some of the USAC schedule next year. And in a car and with a team (Dooling 63 of BC fame) that have been proven winners.
I would still like to see the purse structures side by side to see how they compare. Could even through in BOSS, MSCS, and MOWA. I would alsp like to see POWRi and USAC midgets.
I only did this because you asked FUNKSTER! These purses are the most accurate I can find as of 2015. Please note these are not perfect and I wouldn't go to the payout window requesting what I put here but, I'm close. Also WOO has two different purses depending on day of week and BOSS purse includes heat race money paid out. Had to add as attachment because of formatting. If you can't get it to work let me know Funk or anyone over PM and I could email you a excel file. Enjoy!
