Well I hope everybody gets more than 100 dollars this week.I thought that was a poor decision on MR Gurley's part last week at north vernon.He should of took the purse and split it up evenly between the nineteen cars that showed up to support this series.He was going to pay the purse at the end of the night anyway.Well maybe we wasn't going to get paid who knows it we might not got paid.Guess we will never know.Well this series just took a DUMP.

How many tracks do you know that pay out feature money before you even take the green flag in the A-Main? Get back to reality! Nobody does that. I have talked to many other promoters about the situation and they all said they wouldn't have gave everyone $100 as we did.

They would have only honored the pit pass for the next few races. I think you came out ahead.

Thanks,

Just looking for an education, here - So how does this work for the fans? Is the show only considered complete, for the fans, when the feature has been completed? Do the fans get a rain check for the next show? If not, then where does the purse money go that was to be paid? Is it added to the next show (at that facility), or the next show for the sanction, or is there a make-up feature run in the future?
