Are you high? These are the guys that normally race for $3000 to win. I know for a fact that we won't be starting and parking. You sir have been watching too much NASCAR.

I've been watching short track races for over 60 years, and have never seen a "start and park". This is a hobby, not a business. Many years ago, Louis Seymour and I were chatting with Lee Osborne before an All Start show at Putnamville, when Bobby Allen wandered over, complaining about the purse. Oz said to him, "Allen, where would you be tonight if there was no money, just trophies." "Right here, I guess." replied Bobby. Certainly neither of those guys ever parked.

You can start 22nd Sat pass 15 cars and make an additional $125. But, you will have 40 laps to do so. Why make this a USAC event and pay those bozo's a sanction fee? Dump that money back into the purse. I would guarantee you everyone will still show up if this was the structure
1) 10000 Whoever runs 5th would likely deserve $2500 instead of 2) 6000 $1175. $950 for 11th. $50 breakdown to 17th. $600 to 3) 4500 start. Reward the guys for running up front. 4) 3000 5) 2500 6) 2000 7) 1750 8) 1500 9) 1250 10) 1000 |

Very rarely do you see drivers pull off at Kokomo. Think I've seen it twice in 4 years and they elected to start on tail for motor issues so they don't cause a wreck get there start money. Come back next week strong. Last time we raced 30 Laps think we lost 2 cars one blew up and other not sure what happened and winner came from last in a back up car.

Id say I've seen start and Parks at some sprint shows before. But I know of two win from the tails in the last year at Kokomo, So why would you do so when the difference is 9000?
