As previously outlined in an earlier thread, the “to win” money at the Chili Bowl has come into question, again. It’s nothing new, the topic has come up many times over the years. But I wanted to give you all a little bit to chew on for comparison and debate. Let’s do a little juxtaposition with the Chili Bowl and the BC39. Tulsa pays 10 grand to win, and Indy pays 15. One is a 2 day midweek show the other is several days that culminates in a weekend climax. Now we all can agree there’s a lot of factors involved, sponsors, etc. But stripping it down to the basics, it would be interesting to see the bottom line of both events. Brent and I were conversing at the BC and we kinda agreed that we didn’t think the BC39 was very profitable. In fact Mr Funk said he sees it as kind of a gift from the Speedway to us who love midgets on dirt tracks. I have to agree with that. Would love to hear any alternative opinions on the subject
