hey bill, what races are you taking your sprint car to?

Bill is far from wrong, Seems every time a track puts up some extra money, The car counts shrink. Unless its a big named race like the Sheldon Kinser .

Why do you need to know?

I don't know of very many racers (if any) that make money. Most of them are loosing money from the time they start their truck and it doesn't really matter what division they are in. Even if daddy has money that money comes from a business with no return.

I just hope all these guys running these tracks are still here in a few years. Look at the lost speedways on facebook and you will see them dropping left and right. all of this is JMO

I have talked to guys who told me Yeah that race paid 3 to win but I knew the big dogs would be there so we went to run for 1400 so whats a promotor to do? Pay more and get less cars that ain;t right guys That keeps up I think promotors will say to hell with it and offer smaller purses all the time Most times more to win offers more to start too

Why would I promote a race when all you guys would do was complain about it. Its to dry its to wet its one lane blah blah blah. "Opinions are like a$$holes everyone has got one and most of them stink". Bill's has it figured out call everyone a jackwagon and move on or treat it like a dog. If you cant eat it or piss on it just keep on walkin
