Wings or not its still gotta be pretty nice for the competetors putting on the show to not have to pay to get in.
The new million dollar Laweranceburg speedway can't afford a WoO show, but they can afford to put on non-wing sprints every week? Maybe the non-wingers are lowballing themselves?
I agree with the second part but remember this. I can afford to go to a NW race every week. Maybe two or three of them.
I could see USAC rasing price a bit and purse but Id raise the purse thru the pack first. Your mileage may vary.
Chuck, saying WoO has file Bankruptcy at least twice. As far as I know USACs barely hanging on and been around almost three times as long.
