We have never taken "big money to win" into consideration when deciding where to run. Only one driver can win, the likelihood is you are going to spend much more to race than you are going to win on any given night.......and that deficit is only going to get higher if you start traveling a couple of hours because a track has a "big money" race.
Most of us are recreational racers. We just hope to enjoy the evening and be able to push the car back into the trailer. If we were doing this for the money we would have quit long ago.
This past Saturday at Lawrenceburg we had a pretty mediocre night on the track.......didn't run real well but made the show. The BOSS payout was $300 which pretty much covered our expenses for the evening. The car and my driver were all in one piece when the racing was over.....that's pretty much what I'm shooting for.
