Now there are a few better paying 305 races in the area. Port Royal is running their Blue Collar Classic next Saturday for the Keystone RaceSaver interregional 305s. They will be paying $1,000 to win and $400 to start. They pulled 53 cars for this race last year.

This is basically the purse (PAS) for the last 10 to 12 spots for the 410's, usually, over 1/2 the field, if you are not in the top 5 or so, you lose money each time you race, regardless of class.
This class is for FUN, you pay for your FUN, apparently, some people just don't (refuse to) get it.

There lies the question, Why is everyone BUYING front ends, Nerfs etc and other things you could save on without sacrificing safety. Even if you don't have a machine shop or welder, Most have a uncle or friend who do, Hey, Lets go spend another 4-500 on a front Axel. You Could build the thing for 125, Better yet, Make five of em and have spares.
They all complain how expensive it is, Then throw the car in the trailer without bleeding the cylinders etc YEAH BUDDY That motor will last 30 races, NOT!
Buy their fuel and parts at the track and spend a third more for it.
Then wonder why they went broke so fast........
I don't have a dog, But I've been around a couple long time operations, Yeah, they still lose money, Just not as fast.

I was seriously contemplating on building an engine to run at Btown, but w/a payout like that nowadays due to mileage you would have to live in Bloomington to be able to break even, if you win. I seriously doubt that anyone more than 50 miles would do this week in and week out.( my. 02¢ worth, and now I'm done)
