So do your own math.

If you were a promoter what would you consider an acceptable car count? High 20s/low 30s? At 16 cars your back gate is off 40-50%.

I'm saying Midgets average no less than four pit passes per car. You put in whatever number you think is right. Lincoln's pit pass for a weekly show was $35 last season.
