This is a really good deal for the racers.
Let me ask you:
Would you rather pay $200 to run for $1,000
or
$200 with a re-entry rd and run for $5,000

I know where I would vote.

Look at this also say you have 50 cars first rd. Only 25 can do the re-entry and normally only half will. Say 14 Re-enter of those only 7 come back with the 25 first rd winners equal 32 car. This estimate does'nt even add a rd to the race but gives the track an extra $1400 in entry money to pay the purse.
It's a good deal don't bash it until you try it. It could be the next new thing.
You guys always fuss about payout here is your chance to run for more money.

If the buy back is used to pay the purse its a good deal. Usually the buy back money ends up in the track owners pocket. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I wouldn't care whose pocket the buyback goes in as long as the 5k ends up in mine! I'm not a fan of buybacks but this is still a good deal.

Terry i agree, but to pay this purse they will need the BB money. Each class needs 81 cars to pay the purse. With BB that will knock that number down considerably.

You only need 46 cars to make the payout.

And 38 cars if 15 buys back.

At an NHRA National Event, it takes 10 cars! LOL Well, 12 in Super Stock.

Greg you're right. I guess I'm dumber than a 5th grader.LOL
Even with that though with the car counts both sanctions are having that may be tough. In some classes.

I guess I'm missing something. What wouild be so wrong with IHRA paying a GAURANTEED $5,000 to win AND making a few bucks? Are they only entitled to break even? They're aren't a non-profit, you know...LMAO...

As my father used to say, some people would bitch if they were hung with a new rope...
