Back in the 50's and 60's when there was a USAC show at Reading, Williams Grove or Allentown the advertisements would always list a official purse vs 40% of the gate receipts. That is why it behooved the promoter AND USAC to "beat the drums" to get people out to the races, both made money. I also remember getting into Reading in September of 1966 for $4.00 for an unreserved ticket which was twice the going rate for a regular show at Williams Grove, but it was USAC sprints after all.
