Thanks you for the response about the details of the promotion.
I e-mailed you several days ago about the B main payout. I'm confused with what you have posted on IOW and your e-mail response. Here's what I read on IOW several weeks ago:
"B-Main Pay Out All 3 Days - (All Classes)"
I've read your entry blank and all your literature that you've made public and I have yet to see what the B main payout is. Please tell me where I can find that. Your response in the e-mail to my B main payout question was $50 for Thursday and Friday, $100 for Saturday. Now I'm reading tow money. ????? B main payout/tow money????? These are two very different things. Last year there were C mains. Do the C main participants get nothing? If there are 32 cars that don't make the A main, do all 32 owners get 50/50/100 payout (actually 25/25/50 after the driver is paid) or just the B main owners?
"We have taken away no positions (not sure what you ment there). We added cars to the field last year then the original 24 that were scheduled"
My original comments about the number of starters were based on your own information that you haver published and what historically took place last year. Your literature this year specifically says 24 starters for all three nights this year, not 28, four less than last year. 28 cars started the A main last year. If 4 more were added, that's great ( not great for the non USAC cars if the 4 are USAC provisionals which I suspect they are).
"We don't look at this event as a USAC event".
REALLY!!!! Then why are they there and why are you advertising it's a USAC event?????? I don't get it! The fact is that 20 of the 28 cars that took the green flag last year for the Saturday $15,000 to win main were USAC cars/drivers. That leaves 8 non USAC cars on the track and 32 non USAC cars in the pits.
Kevin, you and your wife are very good hosts for this event and I told you so in person last year while the event was taking place. But if I'm going to travel 550 miles with my expensive equipment to St. Louis, pay a potential $415 at the back gate, and take home a $50 (last year) total for entertaining/along with a driver risking his life for your capacity crowd, I need to know exactly what to expect this year before I enter again.
Thanks,
Don Moore
