That looks great, but from a business standpoint - why would any track pay out every bit of your entry fees? I mean, if you can convince them on the basis that you will be able to draw a crowd and sell concessions etc... That's worth it and a great proposition! But in the case of Brainerd on a typical bracket race weekend the crowds are zero to none, the car count has (in the past several years) been low and inconsistent, and we are more work to cater to than another bracket class with the scaling aspect for each run.

I think that Glen and the people involved are on the right track to build up a program that has a nice payout with a fair entry to hopefully get the local S/SS racers involved in a great facilities program again. If all works out well and it turns out to be a united group of racers, then there might be a leg to stand on for raising payouts beyond what is proposed. For now, I think it would just be greedy to expect the track to put the entire race on for free.

Two races in one weekend, also a good idea. For me - one day is great. I am eager to have Sunday open at home for once!
