Sandy, I have been to every BC39. Yes I know what the payout is. I am not talking about just this race. It’s the USAC events as a whole. Have you seen the payouts for High Limit events? Puts the USAC purses to shame. It’s why non wing drivers are flocking to winged series. But thanks anyway for the schooling.
