A few thoughts...
Buyback will never fly..Neither will No heads up in the eliminator. S/SS want the races run in the traditional way.. Just the way it is.

As MJ mentioned, early Div 3 races are a big gamble, seeing they normally start in late April ., early May. ..Not criticizing these boys. They took an available date, which are few and far between at the larger tracks.

So far no one mentioned spectators....To me ,that's the key to a profit. If you pay out 90 % of the entry money ,and let the crew in for free, what does that leave you? ..Again, not being critical.
Bringing in spectators just might take more than just break out racing. Sorry to say, but my opinion.
