Looking for opinions on payouts! - Page 2

Anybody who is disappointed with this weekends payout should NEVER go to a Division 7 race.

I would have to say that one of my pet peevs over the years has been the ridiculous Sportsmen payouts, excluding the Alcohol classes........... they keep raising the gate and never adjusting the other end......... I only had one crew person this weekend, and it cost $225 just to get in........ I lost 4th round and got $150 back, not even the car and driver entry......... but it did cover my bill at Library 2......... LOL

I think I can say that most of us know coming in that this is not a money making deal....BUT, it just seems ridiculous that you have to go 5 or 6 rounds just to break even on the gate........ not to mention how much we lay out just to get back and forth to the events.........

This should be addressed by our SRAC during the off season......... SERIOUSLY!!!

Oh, and yes, I wish I had that extra hot dog before my 4th round 9.897 loss to Ray Sawyer....... might have made all the difference in my brake foot........ LOL

It probably would have added enough extra weight to make up that .003!!!!

I guess after that, I have no right complaining about 4th round $150

keep in mind what duane said at the start of this , at ATCO they brought in over $96,000 at the gate

Charlie Yannetti · 10-09-2008, 04:51 PM

$96,000 at the gate is a healthy number......... but is that the car and driver entry number or is it including the crew passes also........ a crew pass for 3 days was $55 and I know that most teams pitted near me had at least 2 crew members, some more.......

I know that people are in business to make money, but it would be nice to be fair to those who actually support them..........

Got my check from my semi loss at Columbus Sportsnationals. $300 big ones. Thats Awesome, I was thrilled......not

But then again, was a steller 036 on the bulb, so I guess thats all I deserved ehh ? Yep thats what you get for a performance like that.

You lose = no cake
Win = big cake

I would assume that getting down to 3 cars in Charlotte will get you about the same. But, I'm sure you were happy just being able to compete...
