18 cars, with 3-4 people per car in pits and 300 people in stands to watch sprints specifically is what it takes to break even on a very modest $800 to win sprint purse...thst is if u can get a total of about another 80 cars in other 4 classes and hope like no other another 350 people show up in grandstands. I'm not against sprint cars. I love them and a lot of my friends run them...Cottle, Stockon, Maddox, Short, Cockrum..etc but if, as promoters ,we don't watch our financial facts closely, we will be just another closed race track.

I understand and do wish you the best of luck. Hope it works and the track stays open.
Are you going to get the catch fence fixed? On my last visit this was scary and dangerous. I would not even think about coming back unless this was fixed.
