Just to make sure I mortgage my house for the proper amount, pit passes will be 40$?

orp was 100 laps and paid 9,000.00 to win-- berlin is 150 laps with 6000.00 to win

150 laps is a lot of wear for the money being payed out.

just when the car count was coming back this kick in the face 6000 to win 600 to start 150 lap race 2nd might brake even 3rd on back is in the hole and they wounder where the car owners have gone broke

on this track a 150 laps isn't even 75 miles. 7/16 track. distance of miles are about the same as 100 laps at IRP. Hey, up here in Michigan we are lucky to get any Big shows.

Berlin race = 66 miles
ORP race = 69 miles

Right on Duel.

I guess all I can say is if a team doesn't go then they have a 0% chance of winning anything.

Letting your race car sit in the garage is a no cost option, but if you do it for the sport (fun) of it then racing is the only oprion.

When's the last time a SC purse has paid this little? I thought $9000 was the minimum. I think the promoter might have had "shakey knees" about keeping his head above water. I suppose sometimes a group must bend a bit in order to avoid further embarrassment.

Two things I hope happen after this race:
1) If this promoter DOES end up making some money, I hope he gives a cut to those who deserve it- the guys who put on the show at a discount rate.
2) USAC has a solid 2011 Silver Crown schedule. This is supposed to be the PREMIER DIVISION. Stop relegating these races to support shows; on weekdays too! If you can book this series at Lawrenceburg even, and it's a lock that it'll actually happen, do

I would like to thank the individuals, USAC, or the promoter for raising the purse, hopefully the race will have good car count and fans.

A week before the event and they are still making changes? With Illiana and Oswego leaving a bad taste in many people's mouths I'm just hoping it's not too little too late. Spending a few days in the Northeast and at WoO and Dirt shows, I would say there is a whole of differences in these series.
