That's why one of my posts mentioned combo races, and a test and tune. Bowling Green usually hosts a test and tune in conjunction with the LODRS and the Open. It would only make sense to host a test and tune at a class event.
And the evening combo races are the equivalent of having a bracket program and buy backs. The $5000 to win Clay Jones combo draws a pretty decent field, as Larry stated. Given the right opportunity, there's a segment of the class racing community that will run "extra" and bonus races.
In the post where I expanded on a possible format, what I suggested gave the racer, for one tow, the opportunity to run 3-5 races in a weekend, and control what they spent. Spend $250 and run one race over 2 to 2-1/2 days, or spend up to $650 or so and run 3-5 races, with a shot at $2500, up to maybe $7500, or more. And it lets the promoter and track have a chance to make money on multiple races, and keep a show going for a while for spectators.
