It would be tough to get the ball rolling on a Saturday night deal. You would have to be patient and deal with some low car counts starting out. But when guys realized that tires and motors last a lot longer and it is easier to field a competitive car, they may switch over from KC.
Personally, I would be happy to see what Waynesfield did years ago. I think it was only like $600 to win and $100 to start. But if you could do $800 to win and $200 to start it sure would be nice.
The first person who says $800 to win is not enough, ask them the last time they won $800 at KC Raceway? If you aren't in a white 4 or a black Jarrell car, you are 4th or worse from the start.
For once, lets quit worrying about what it PAYS to win and lets do the smart thing and and look at what it COSTS to race. You get a healthier bottom line limiting your costs instead of bitchin about more money. A small track non wing is a good start.
I'd have a car there for sure, maybe 2.
