With this crazy purse structure $1125 for 5th Sat with $1000 to start, I believe we'll see alot of start and parks Saturday.

No. I don't think so. With this format, these guys will have already raced their asses off just to make this show. These will be coveted starting spots, IMO. So, I think you will have eliminated the ones with any quit in them, by that point. Ones with that NASCAR mentality. Plus, I think it's really sad, that here we have the biggest multi-day sprint car event to hit our state in years and before it even happens, people are trying to find fault with it. The O'Connors need to be commended for thinking outside the box and for taking a huge financial risk.

That is just an out and out insult to sprint car drivers. This isn't NASCAR. Sprint car drivers are racers! And by the way, why are you posting stuff like this and hiding behind a board name, not giving your real one?

Speaking on behalf of one team, if Coleman makes the show on Saturday, it will take a sniper to shoot his tires out before he will stop. I understand the point about the purse structure; no one wants to tear up a car for an extra $125. I get it. BUT; this is a prestigious race and everyone wants a top 10 or better. Plus, Indiana Racers or Car Owners have never thought or raced that way since we have been competing in the Hoosier State. And, last but not least; going to a Race at Kokomo is like going to the Ballpark during the World Series. You never know when something memorable, special or History making may occur. That is what drives these crazy Sprint Car Drivers as much as anything...

Again, I understand your point but I don't think that will happen. I guess we will see... CGR.
