Looks good. Only thing I can find to compare to is this years point fund for WOO
1. 200,000 11. 40,000
2. 100,000 12. 30,000
3. 75,000 13. 25,000
4. 70,000 14. 20,000
5. 65,000 15. 18,000
6. 62,500 16. 16,000
7.60,000 17-20 14,000
8. 57,500
9. 55,000
10.50,000

No wonder we keep losing nonwing drivers.

This is only a portion of the WoO point fund that’s missing the exclusivity bonus. For example Gravel got $350k for winning the points last year.

Wonder if single day tickets to any event will exceed $50?

A better question might be if any will be under $50?

People used to complain about USAC and their rules against drivers competing outside the club. Yet "outlaw" sprints has turned in that direction. And it's headed in the direction of NASCAR's model.

The charter money replaces point fund and tow money. They will average 2 years of point finishes to calculate what position of charter money you get. So i guess the benefit is you will know how much you will be getting at the start of the season and will be paid through the season. Bummer is you win the title you won't get a larger sum at the end of the season just will bring your average up to calculate the next years amount.

You are probably right. We are going to CAR in two weeks and it was $45 per night. I see that Perris is $75. You used to be able to go to an NFL game for less than $100 but depending on the market it's well over $350 now. I suppose if wages kept up with inflation it might not hurt as much.

For some good context look at Dirtrackr from Friday

I feel like charters in dirt track racing are an answer to a question nobody asked.

I will be the jerk here. I am a true blue fan of wingless sprints. My Dad and I did some sponsorship of a couple cars in the mid 70's for friends that raced for FUN. I know things change, etc. but my opinion of Hi Limit is that they will ruin the heart of racing because of the almighty dollar, just like NASCAR has to stock car racing. I thought WoO was doing that but this is on another level. I wish the money would just be put into purses and let the chips fall where they fall. Now it will just become a business like the ball sports. Wait till the Gen-1 sprint car comes out! I have big shoulders so start throwing your darts!

No darts from me! I think you’re 100% correct.
I like all sprint cars and I’ll admit I lean towards favoring wings because that’s what I ran but I have no intention of supporting Hi Limit.

Some of this Top level dirt racing is becoming more a joke than anything. Watched three Winged and two LM shows. All three Winged had fuel stops and unlimited time in work area. LMs had work area for heat races. IMO all this does is add time to the show and Im sure increases cost to the teams by a ton.


I don't honestly have a preference for either HL or WoO but WoO i don't get to see. and these HL and special FLO shows that pay more is just taking more of MY $$$ to pay those than spreading it out fairly to all the tracks that allow it to broadcast. So much so, I think I'll unsubscribe. Not only is it not live. But because I see so much racing.. It kinda numbs me when I actually get to go now.
