I was sitting in the stands at East Bay Raceway in Florida for a 410 non-wing sprint show, 2005 I think was the year, good field of cars, nice track, great middle of February weekend. The feature winner is being interviewed in victory lane and starts complaining that the race paid way too little for guys who towed from California, and he sort of shamed the track owner/promoter for the low purse. His right to say what he wants, as I listened to his rant I looked around at the crowd in the stands, for the entire evening there was maybe 300 paid admissions at the track, maybe. So the track owner takes a beating in the pocket book, and gets a verbal beat down by the main event winner, that had to be a bitter pill to swallow. Just where is the money supposed to come from? Printing programs, paying track employees, insurance, etc. is not free. Dan Kazarian told me they need to sell 2,600 adult admissions to make a profit for a sprint car show at Perris Auto Speedway, that was in 1998.
