I don't think they think they're going to get 60 cars per Index class... they need 20 cars just to break even on the purse in each of those classes. Supply and demand. They know that they're not going to draw twice as many cars even if it's $50. They're hoping to cover their purse with a little room to spare, and those guys may bring spectators/crew with them.
