I guess I think back to the Mopar Million which drew over 100 cars and the primary reason was everyone left with some money in their pockets not just those who started the A. JMO

Are you nuts? For starters the "So called big money races" @ lawrenceburg & haubstadt USAC/MSCS were nothing of that! Yes it did pay 10k to win! great for the winner. but there could only be one right? But to start haubstadt it only paid $225 which was MSCS doing.

At least usac pays $500 to start. Ok now your getting a $1000 to just take the green flag in the A. Last time i checked 4th place in a usac sprint race gets that on normal shows. And you wonder why the mopar million had so many cars...? it paid like $20,000 to start.

It's like beating a dead horse. pay more to start and you will get more cars. plain and simple. JMHO... But who am i..
