Thanks, and thanks to all of you for the kind words, Dave

Format: Three prelim days that lead up to the final fourth day. Each prelim day is a total and complete show. Any time you are on the track, you are earning points. All earned points set the lineups for Saturday. So if you get the poll, you earned it by pointing more than anybody else.
I looked up the purse. Total 4 day purse is $912,805.
The winner gets $150,000. Like I said before, that would OBVIOUSLY be the hardest part to put together. It wouldn’t have to be THAT large of a purse. There aren’t very many facilities that can handle an event like that. Lawrenceburg is one of them because of seating and general room. That’s all I was saying. A multi-day event leading up to the main event would be great. Doesn’t have to be quite on the same level, days or purse wise. When the topic was brought up about bigger events, I brought it up. I’ve always thought the non-wing guys deserve an event like this too. You’re doing a great job with getting bigger events so not complaining, just wishing.
Come on Dave, if anybody can raise a million it’s you.
