Most local wing shows do not pay anymore money than Lawrenceburg's $1200/1500 to win, and $150/200 to start the feature.
But IMO, Indiana is a special case, and some of the tracks pay a smaller purse because they can do so and still draw a reaonable(20-25) amount of cars to put on a decent show. There are a lot of n/w tracks in Indiana, and it can serve to dilute the product a bit...but, as I said, that's just my opinion....
