IOWheelers... This promotion/promoter actually looks like a true saint compared to other operations. As a whole this promotion from top to bottom pays much better than any other regional promotion BY FAR and there are several perks that will allow the racer to save money over the long haul. I think the double pit pass deal has been explained and isn't an issue.
I can tell you this. If you race a POWRi event and are a non member, you will pay a $50 entry fee plus $30 for a pit pass. Two years ago, I attended a regional winged sprint car pavement show at Mansfield Speedway and the pit pass was $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the purse they were paying the winged guys was less than the purse being offered by ASCT. Two years ago I paid a $100 entry fee at Tri City Speedway, Pontoon, IL and got back $30 at the end of the evening and I had to call the promoters, the Gundakers three times to get it. If you are a non member of USAC, you are going to pay an entry fee of $40 PLUS a $35 pit pass and they are paying (along with POWRi) $50 tow money. ASCT is offering TWICE that if you don't make the show. That is the best deal in America for sprints and midgets as far as I know.
Also, $100-150 to race in Tulsa and the promoters make you buy their electricity. Yeah.. ur reading this correctly. You have to buy their electric. And they are dieing to get in that place, spend their life savings and walk out with pockets empty with a smile on their face.
