Rob, Excellent post as always. One thing I think thats being overlooked and I agree, purses should be higher. Expecially back in the pack with 14-18 top teams out there running your series. Nobodys mentioned that USAC has had the 20 dollar gate for at least 10 plus years. You can't raise purses without raising prices. Its not always a good thing but I fully feel the show could easily charge 25 dollars and for some specials 30.

I do not want WOO prices. I personally avoid them just for that alone no matter what show they put on, Im not spending several hundred to travel and fifty for addmission to see a one night show.

I do think a racer with enough determination and skill should be able to make a decent living at this. With all three classes there are a few who can with the sponsor behind the expenses.

Thanks for posting.
Chuck
