Well, isn't that what's BEEN going on for years? Please read my previous post again. I said, I'm not sayin' it's RIGHT, but it's the current state of affairs. Does this mean that you disagree with my '10 grand to win' theory? I'm pretty sure that a lot of drivers get 50% for a win, so fielding a top flight, winning pavement sprint car for 9 races and 45k is rather difficult indeed. And that's assuming a 100% win ratio. With all of the things that eat a budget, I don't think there'd be much of a profit to show at the end of the pavement series even with more than twice the OLD purse. The folks that are payin' the bills are doing it because they love it. My opinion, not fact. Maybe there'll be some effective rule changes that'll make things a little better.
