Yeah.... well the more money given out, the more people will show up. That is good money for those who will race the series.
This got me thinking and poking around. Here is an interesting comparison between the new NSL and the All Stars in payouts:
NSL is to payout $3,000-to-win per race. All Stars are paying $5,000-to-win for their standard shows.
NSL is paying out $75,000 to the champ. All Stars are paying out $30,000 to the champ.
An interesting comparison I thought. Completely different courses charted. One goes long on final payment while the other goes heavy on show-to-show. I am not in marketing, but I'm just wondering what goes into the thinking on both ends. Big money either way and good for all drivers involved, IMO.
