Then and now
.................................................. .................................................. ...............................
September 2016 - E-town Division Race

510 tech card and at least one additional person per tech card (on average)

(510*170) + (510*55) = $114,750

Number of spectators at $10 Friday,$20 Saturday, $20 Sunday.

(12 *10) + (50* 20) + (50 * 20) = $2120

Total number of drag dogs and t-shirts sales dollars (profit) $2000

Total Weekend Payout = $22,000
Total Advertising Cost = $500

Total income minus advertising and payout = $96,370
*Then subtract NHRA's cut ($50,000), manpower($20,000), insurance ($5000), overhead($10,000),.......

Track owner's cut = $21,370
.................................................. .................................................. ................................
September 1980 - E-town Division Race

(500 * 60) + (500 * 25) = $42,500

(1000 * 10) + (3000 * 12) + (3000 * 12) = $82,000

Total number of drag dogs and t-shirts sales dollars (profit) $20,000

Total Weekend Payout = $22,000
Total Advertising Cost = $10,000

Total income minus advertising and payout = $112,500
*Then subtract NHRA's cut ($25,000), manpower($10,000), insurance ($3000), overhead($5,000),.......

Track Owner's cut = $69,500

Of course many of the values are estimates, but I think a little advertising goes a long way. I never see ads any more for Division or National Events.
