If Waynesfield would up their purse...
 

they would get alot more cars and probably get a lot of the indiana drivers.

anyone else agree?

Re: If Waynesfield would up their purse...
 

don't forget they ran 360 wing cars also last nite. I head there Attendence hasnt been the greatest. I think right now we should be happy that they are running non-wingers at all.

Re: If Waynesfield would up their purse...
 

i know but still $700 isn't very much and drivers aren't going to travel for that much money. if you finish 2nd you only get $350.

Why should they? The top teams run at Lawrenceburg, Gas City, Bloomington, Etc. and places like this give the lower budget teams a great place to race and be competitive. They're getting 20 + cars a night so I don't see the issue? Paragon only pays $500 to win, and they get full fields as well. Its just a different place for lower budget teams to be competitive when they can't afford the big engine to run The Burg and other places.

One race of note is the Hewitt Classic with $3K to win on 8/15. It looks like Lawrenceburg is off that night. USAC has a pavement race that night. Vermilion is off. Putnamville is on. Paragon is on. MSCS is off. It might be a good night a Waynesfield.

Agreed

Re: If Waynesfield would up their purse...
 

the only time they pay the 700 is when they have 360's with non wing.. as far as i know when nonwing is running by itself its 1000 to win...

they should because they dont get very many fans and if they would pay more throughout the field it would bring more drivers and the drivers bring fans.

Re: If Waynesfield would up their purse...
 

Got a call earlier today from someone that talked to the track owner and he was told that there will be no more 700 to win shows, all will be at least 1000 and that the nonwings will be the main show from now on. By the way, this track the past few years has always paid over 1000 to win and the crowds kept getting bigger and bigger as the year went on.

WHile my personal schedule has not allowed it, yet, I am a fan of the place. Mostly because it is the only place in my current home state that runs non-winged cars regularly. I would like to see them succeed and grow the non-winged cars. IF they can get it to grow, it would be nice to have a non-winged USAC weekend with Lima on Friday and Waynesfield on Saturday.

As for this year, I am hopefull that my schedule lines out to allow for more trips to Waynesfield.
