I thought I read somewhere last year that weekly racing at Knoxville was a money loosing proposition.

I have asked Dave what can be done to raise the purses, and hes done some great things such as having a show for 8 bucks that paid about double purses by sponsors and donations Mel Johnson Classic actually 4 bucks as it was a Harf, Darf and Barc night.

I don't see gates anywhere rising in the near future. Sponsorship is about the only thing going to raise any purses.

Id love to see a track go 3000 to win and 300 to start on a weekly. Bring some people, Tell the sponsors you appreciate it and shop with them when applicable. It could happen

While I don't agree with singling out a track, Im sure it is more $$ to run Burg than the other tracks but its also Indianas only track you can average over 90mph on. I think I remember qualifications of Winged 114 and Non Winged 102
