Why Do They Keep Doing This?

I hope you're right, Michael. We've had over seventy cars (total weekend count) for that race two of the last three years. This year we paid $2,500 Win, $1,300 R/U, 500 semis, 200 1/4's and 100 third round, for a $100 entry (and that was with 'only' fifty-seven cars making first round). I think it was the second biggest paying S/SS race in the country this year (only the well sponsored $5K race in Bowling Green paid more).
