Nobody's going to go broke doing what you suggest Don. It's really just a shell game anyway isn't it? I mean, is there really any difference if a purse is $50 less across the board and drivers and one owner gets their $25 pit pass free?
Is $1450 to win and $200 to start vs. $1500 and $250 really going to change the economics of your racing or my racing operation? Are you more likely to show up at the former rather than the latter?
Frankly that's what I view tow money as... My pit pass reimbursement if I have a bad night.
Knoxville does a deal where I think 5 people per car can purchase a reduced priced pit pass. If I recall it's $15 instead of $25. I kind of like that. But it's still just money coming out of the same pot. I'm sure if they charged the full $25 per pit pass there would be a few more hundred dollars to throw into the purse at the end of the night.
Serious questions... the answer very well might be Yes. Would more cars show up if each car got 4 free pit passes and $100 to start instead of $200?
