Take your favorite event flyer and turn it upside down, and study it. (i.e., read it from the bottom up) What does it take to cover your entry? I heard there are going to be two events next year (one Footbrake and one Top E.T.) that will pay FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR round money...
Win 4th round of the main event, and it will cover MORE than the entire weekend's entry fees for FIVE races: two $3K's, two $12.5K's, and a $75K.
That's real value for your hard-earned dollar.
Michael, I respect you and your integrity and success as a promoter, BUT...
With one round of buybacks, only 12.5% (one out of every eight) entries are left after 4 rounds.

In a sense we are all "Gambling" with our money in hopes of getting the prize and notoriety. That may be a big payout or a trophy.
Take that away and there is no reason to run.

No, I don’t think I did, but just for fun, what part of my post was inaccurate in your view?

Chris, for me and thousands upon thousands of drag racers, THIS
https://www.nhra.com/news/2019/reading-sc
beats any big check we could ever hold and for me personally, this was the proudest moment I've ever experienced with my son, more than his first touchdown, more than his first hit at bat and even more than his college graduation 5 months earlier.
He may never win another but the fact is he has won on the NHRA big stage, something 99.9% of drag racers dream of and most will never do.
