The key is that it has to pay better thru the field and not just all on top. The upcoming USAC race at Lawrenceburg may pay 10 to win, but second pays 2. It is simply unacceptable that 10th only pays $450. 11th on back pays $400.
If you make the race and start deep what is the point of running more than half the race if you aren't going forward. Pull in and save your stuff cause the pay is the same. I hate to be negative, but this has to get better.
You will get more cars paying 5 to win and making the show pays $800. Take the other 5 the winner would have gotten and spread it through the field. The teams will be happier, the fans will be happier (more cars), the track will make more money (more bodies thru the pitgate) and guys will race harder thru the field. Just my opinion.
Terre Haute tomorrow pays less to win, but more to start than the 4 Crown. Who came up with that?
The 4 Crown should pay at least 10 to win and $1000 to start.
Kevin has it right. Now a sanctioning body (any sanctioning body) needs to pay attention.
