Re: 2008 oval nationals purse
Just a few observations:
The Western World purse for two days is something like $45,350 and the three day purse for the Oval Nationals is a little over $60,000. A standard 1 day USAC National Sprint Car Purse is between $19,000 and $20,000. So for the chance to run for the very close to the same money as 5 USAC races in Indiana, we will travel 4,300 miles over a two week period AND get to pay $15.00 more per pit pass each night at Perris. We figure this trip costs about $10,000 to make each year if we don’t hurt cars or engines. If not for our sponsors and the point’s battle, why would anyone in their right mind make this trip? Is it any wonder the MPHG team cited money as the reason not to go? I am all for making "big events" out of the USAC National series, but it should also make some financial sense as well. Indiana Sprint Week, the PA swing, the defunct Buckeye Nationals, etc all made sense for teams based in Indiana and the surrounding states. But if USAC wants a true national traveling series the purses will need to increase and the increase should not come out of the competitor's wallets through pit pass increases. Just my $.02.

$1,000 to win a 25 lap sprint car feature at a "special" event.....wow, that is terrible. Our local 360's get that for a 20 lap feature for a regular weekly show. Look at the drop off from the $12,500 winner on saturday....down to $3,000 for second. I would expect more out of a show that is as prestigious at this.

Re: 2008 oval nationals purse
I think an obvious Band-Aid to this issue, with the purses being cut like they are, is to schedule a race or two on the way out and on the way back -- make the trip viable. I know that increases the bill for pit passes, tires, fuel, etc. and gives you three or four more nights to possibly tear the car up, but at least it brings the reward scenario a little closer to even with the risk factor.
There are plenty of tracks scattered through middle America that would make logistical sense. Tougher than it sounds to get races scheduled, I know, but it would certainly be a step in the right direction towards USAC being a truly national sanctioning body. |

That IS a serious issue, even if YOU refuse to acknowledge it. Nobody said they are looking to make money, they just need to be able to afford to do it. It's a simple premise. Try to understand it, would ya? DM |

Re: 2008 oval nationals purse
I like the way they make Perris a National race then cut the purse makes total buisness sense. NOT... Past oval nationals paid 30,000 to win. Now 12,500 because they only had 45 cars pre register. Nice way to go and the promotor says there not in it for the money who are they trying to kid.

Re: 2008 oval nationals purse
Not only does first place pay less but the purse is less money all the way through Saturdays main event field,last year it paid $500.00 to start this year is only $400.00 to start.I'll bet money that the price of pit passes isn't going to go down from $40.00 last year to $30.00 this year though.
A question I asked on SCRAFAN was,since this is a USAC National and USAC/CRA points race why don't they honor our USAC membership cards and give us the same discount that we recieve all season long on pit passes instead of charging a flat rate for everybody just for this race? |

Being part of the problem would be someone who blindly says to car owners that they can "get rich" by winning both races, that they have "no problem" with money when they say they do, all the while admitting that no one can "make money" owning a race car, that "tracks are closing next year", that there will be "a lot less fans" in 2009, that teams should "just not go", and should "stay on the porch" because they aren't "the big dogs". All these sentiments in quotations are yours, and the rationale (or lack thereof) behind these disjointed crackpot theories of yours is all over the map. I mean, if people listened to you, no teams should go, no fans will be going, and tracks will be closing left and right next year. The sport is doomed according to Superduke. Or, "Chicken Little" as we now should call you. Furthermore, I have an intellect that clearly far exceeds yours both in terms of aptitude, and communicable application and execution, and for you to actually presume that you are somehow winning this alleged "battle of wits" you think you started is not only beyond laughable, but simply makes you look like a crazy old man who has obviously lost all of his faculties. Enough said. DM |

Nice to see Super Dud’s stellar attitude about everything has returned. It sure must be sad to hate everything in life.
I also love when the, when I drove card, is played by somebody that wasn’t any good. I will say at least that is comical. Somebody can hit eject on the Super Dud broken record at any point. |

Hey guys, time to quit picking on Duke. It's obvious in his dotage that he's become a keyboard commando...and he's even got a new motto.....
" The older I get, the faster I was......" And he proves his intellect, too....by calling everyone who disagrees with his rants an "a**"... |
