Payout is 80% of "racer entries" X "entry fee"
The payout is as follows:
Winner: 40% plus 70% of any pool money
Runner-up: 25% plus 30% of any pool money
Semi: 20% divided by 2
3rd round: 15% divided by 4 (Starts at 17 cars)

Looks to me like the payout starts 3rd round and skips everyone until the semis and it't technically not 3rd round until the race is at 17 cars lol.


(Time permitting. Monies split 50% track 50% purse)

That probably means one round will be run and it will be split.

That gambler entry/payout seems a little crazy to me. Entries capped at 64, but buybacks allowed? Buybacks at 80% of entry? If you get all 64 entries and all 32 first round losers buy back, the race pays $1280 to win but only 8 cars are paid, beginning with 5th round losers?

I've been to races that had payout beginning 5th round, but that is because entry was only $100 to win $10,000. To have $90 invested in a $1280 to win race with no round money just doesn't make sense to me.

I'd suggest something like this:

Reduce buybacks to $30 - track can still keep half.

Winner - $1100
R/U - $400
Semi - $150
5th Rd - $80
4th Rd - $50
3rd Rd - $30

The track can keep any unused portions of the purse or any odd-car money. They may also need to dig into their cut of the entries if there is a low buyback rate.

This rule looks new for Pro: "Shifter; mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical operated shifter permitted, as long as the shifting function is driver activated. Two (2) step rev limiter permitted."

I read that to mean that automated shifters cannot be activated by an RPM switch.

I understand that the gambler is 80/20
the buyback is split 50/50

(Time permitting. Monies split 50% track 50% purse) This is the kind of stuff that will kill the track.

2012 Points program. $35 each Class
All classes run at all races. The 2012 points will be a “Best of” series. Each participant will have their worst finish position dropped from their points at the end of the year to decide the class champions and finishing position.
Points

Year end ties will be decided by points standings from the first completed race of the season.

$50.00 entry is for the Jackpot Races (64 car max) Money collected in the lanes

Payout using jackpot formula
No Box: Follows Pro Rules $40 buy backs after first round only. (Time permitting. Monies split 50% track 50% purse)
Jackpot Payout uses the jackpot formula

only the Sat. gambler races have a first round buy back and not on Sundays points race or Consolation race.

Russ Elzy Posted - 01/27/2012 : 21:13:12
It's $5.00 more to get in the gate,and $5.00 more to race,$10.00 total
Superpro Posted - 01/27/2012 : 12:46:55
Yes they have they went from 60.00 to 65.00 to enter pro and super pro. Plus the gate fee went up 5.00 Also electric is doubling this year. 10.00 a day
andyschmall Posted - 01/27/2012 : 12:33:56
It depends when you come in the gate. Entry fees for each class haven't changed but the price per person changed which has more effect on people who bring a large group.

We were originally asked to meet on Jan 7 or Jan 8 because they were going on vacation and would not be available to meet again until some time in Feb. So... I imagine that it will probably be in Feb. when the information from the meeting will be available.
