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?

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.
