Payouts?

[Joe Piper]

Q-16=25% of total purse.N/A=25% of total purse.Bracket-1=11% of total purse.Bracket-2=11% of total purse.OK 75% of the cars get 22% of the money.The payouts should be calculated by car counts not car speeds!

Your right Joe thats why we have changed the format because people can't understand the percentage thing because they don't understand the amount of money we are talking about they need hard numbers so here ya go EVERY class get's 100% of the tech card money PLUS a percentage of the gate+ shirt sales+sponsor money, how's that?

Hey Joe, i wish you had gone to the meeting you could have seen the payout sheets !! Trust me , you'll be impressed !!

Actually Joe, If the projected numbers are accurate (and by this I mean everyone that says their going shows up), the payouts Zeke showed me are very impressive.

YES THEY ARE! I would have liked to talk to you and some of the other's out your way Joe but since your on here I can give you a little insite into it. First we rented the track that means we get all gate sales, everything. Second we are pooling the money all gate sales (tech cards and spectator tickets) with T-shirt profits and sponsor money, then we pay expenses track rental and advertising are the two big one's and misc. (no wages NONE) and the rest goes to the racers in the form of cash and prizes. The last event had about a $20,000 payout but there was over $150,000 going through the gate, so after taxes and expences we could pay $100,000 or more, I know allot of people think it just can't be but it is very possible to do if everyone showed, I don't expect everyone but think of it this way even if we got half remember we don't have $6500 jet car's, we don't have $5000 funny cars, we don't have $5000 fire works, we DON'T PAY WAGES! and we get ALL gate sales not a split with the track, that means that if each event gets the same number of cars we can pay double or triple of what they can. Now Joe you think that 75% of the cars shouldn't get 22% of the money, how do you feel about a handfull of people making more than all the racers combined? I don't think that's fair do you? Remember this is like any race it works of the number of people the more people the more money. I hope that clears things up for you Joe if it didn't or you have other questions please call me, I would like the chance to give people accurate info so they can make a informed decission what ever that maybe.
