And thats why it is very successful platform with out a sanctioning body. Also all tracks involved work with each other for the week so no one runs against each other during the week.

Not sure what Indiana sprint week pays but I'm pretty sure that none of the races pays that much to win. And they are running the same cars minus 2 wings!
On the other hand I was out in Indiana for the first 3 races of ISW and only because of USAC's Eastern storm coming to PA the last 2 years. And I know of a few guys from section A at "The Burg" that now want to come to PA for the Eastern storm. So USAC brings cars and people to ISW. And in the future will bring fans and cars to PA. |
Thanks for the reply, '857. I still would like to know who goes out and gets the sponsors, how much money the sponsors kick in, do the sponsors hang on for every race of the week, and is the pot divvied up equally at the end of the week. They are paying out GOOD money for PA Speed Week and said money has to come from somewhere other than the gate at the tracks.
Sounds like the PA promoters/owners have a good system going however it shakes out in the end.
