Realistically, small car count races with no buybacks and paying out $100 to 2nd rnd winners eats up the money really fast. If you go with graduated purses, guys will complain that they don't know what they're running for until they get to the track, and if you distribute the money to the later rounds, (ie., start payouts with 3rd rnd win), you can bump up the round money significantly, but half as many people get paid.
