I need all your input. what is the reason a track would add a class? in my mind, it would be to attract more people to increase revenue. after all, they got to make money, so more patrons, more money. but this 305 thing doesn't add up to me, with or without a wing.
lets say that they get 15 cars the first season. lets also say that it requires a $2600 purse to pay them with $500 to win and $100 to start. we'll say each car averages 3 people with them through the back gate, that's 45 pit passes. lets also say each of these guys bring 4 people in the stands to watch them, that's 60 front gate tickets sold. I don't know what the prices are at the track, but for the sake of this we'll say pit pass $25 and front gate $15. 45 pit passes at $25 = $1125, 60 tickets at $15 = $900, that my friends adds up to $2025 brought in from your new class. it also means they have to eat $575 of hot dogs just to break even on the purse.
now that said, I think its conservative to say about 1/3 or more of those 105 people attached to this new class are already buying tickets every race night.
what do you all think?
