Wolfie it is the principal of it just as much as the money. When you charge a entry fee and get no purse money back it is a slap in the face. Everyone will have bad nights and those are the nights you need the money the most. For you imformation $40.00 is $40.00 and that should mean alot to anyone in this economy. But it cost me $90.00 the entry fee plus a minumum of $50.00 purse money. If no entry and $50.00 purse money that is a $90.00 swing. Our business is in the dumps and no that isnt anyones fault except ours and the housing industry. All of last year really the only thing we bought for our cars was a new driveline, and that was halfway through the season knowing we needed it sooner. I flipped my car hard at Lawrenceburg early in the year and we pieced it back together with old parts laying in the garage. We struggled after that so we put an older car together which I am running right now with parts laying in the garage. The other things we purchased were the necessities methanol, tires, oil, tear offs and things like that. This year I put a the car I crashed at Lawrenceburg together for my boy and it is bent. I did buy a new driveline for it but that is it. We used parts from the past for the rest of the car. I did buy some used bumpers and nerfs from Steve Rone. Those driveline systems were around 400 so $90.00 makes a huge difference when money is tight. If Chase or I either one tear up much we would be done. So bottom line any dollars help.
