What do you think is a fair entry fee/payout? Obviously, we would all like to pay less and earn more---but, what do you feel is "fair."



See ya in Staging!!!

Overhead is going to vary WIDELY by track. That isn't something the racers really need to concern themselves with.

If a track has too much overhead and is trying to cover it with bracket race profits, they probably will not provide a program that is attractive when compared to that of a leaner/more efficient track.

How much overhead do you think the track has? Employees? Equipment? Utilities? ETC. Russ

Nice work Tony!!!

I can only hope Jed and Scott from BIR are looking at this!!!

See ya in Staging!!!

Let's assume the track must take at least 25% of the total purse as profit:

To pay $1000/500, you will need at least 28 cars:


With only 17 cars, you can pay $700/350 by cutting round money to $75:

Hmmm...One more Tony---

Super Classes ($110 entry)....16, 32 cars lets figure.

See ya in Staging!!!

Same structure using some BIR numbers, as requested:

That's a cool model there Tony...and seems pretty fair. If my SCSU math is correct then..using BIR as an example---$80 entry fee (90 cars)should pay $1600 Win/$800 RU.

See ya in Staging!!!

I would like to see something along these lines for a track that draws a decent number of cars.

Winner gets 20X the entry fee, runner-up gets half of that and 3rd round losers get their money back. The track keeps 26% in this 90-car example.
