Casey, Nice job man that's amazing. I've been involved in racing my entire life and never thought about purse structure being very important. This is really cool.

Not a problem, now if only Calculus were that easy. I'm currently working on a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering.

I attended the Sunday night final, was a great show. Very nice race track, not a bad seat in the house. The first yellow came out on lap 24. The top 5 cars were in lapped traffic. Here is the amazing thing, they were all with in a half a straight away of each other on a 1/3 mile track. When is the last time you can say you have seen that!!!

That's where the .08% shortage came from. All it takes is patients, lots, and lots, and lots of patients. Especially when you've got a 5 year old constantly asking "Casey, what're you doing?".

1st 2,500 = 5.35%
2nd 2,400 = 5.14%
3rd 2,300 = 4.92%
4th 2,200 = 4.71%
5th 2,150 = 4.60%
6th 2,100 = 4.50%
7th 2,050 = 4.39%
8th 2,000 = 4.28%
9th 1,950 = 4.17%
10th 1,900 = 4.07%
11th 1,850 = 3.96%
12th 1,800 = 3.85%
13th 1,750 = 3.74%
14th 1,700 = 3.64%
15th 1,650 = 3.53%
16th 1,600 = 3.42%
17th 1,550 = 3.32%
18th 1,500 = 3.21%
19th 1,450 = 3.10%
20th 1,400 = 3.00%
21st 1,350 = 2.89%
22nd 1,300 = 2.78%
23rd 1,250 = 2.67%
24th 1,250 = 2.67%
25th 1,250 = 2.67%
26th 1,250 = 2.67%
27th 1,250 = 2.67%
Total %= 99.92%
Did the promoter pocket the.08%😀

No, like I said, I only went out to the .01%, so there will be some discrepancy. Take the winner's share for instance, $2,500 comes out to 5.3533190578158.........% of $46,700.
