At a glance looks pretty good except the 65 min car count for S/P. Why only S/P with 65 and not 33 like the other classes?

Because it's like the million dollar race it's designed never to pay the full purse . When only 41 cars show up the 1600 to win turns into $800 to win.

Probably because it's only 50% higher entry but double the payout.

If I'm not mistaken that's double the entry for 1/2 the payout from years past...used to pay 3k
I hope the powers that be aren't sitting around trying to figure out why nobody is coming to these specialty races....The entry fee vs payout is so lopsided who would look at the flyer and say OMG I gotta go there.
That race has historically been a nightmare with people's scooters being jacked, transmission stolen, people in my trailer going through tool boxes. ...The he reason we kept coming back was the 3k payout. ....risk vs reward is not there anymore IMO

I haven't been since 1997 when Tim and Tom Haeffner and I came very close to being beaten by a mob of people after we chased down and caught a kid that stole the golf cart which was being used to collect money for Keith Gray's family.

Looks like normal bracket race to me
50 bucks entry and cheaper buy back
Gmp hasnt had any car counts this year
No way id pull up a big garunteeed payout
With no cars here
Last few years they been burned bu weather but track got paid so they lost thier butts last couole
Years
With sponsors drying up racers not here
Hand writing on the wall
I hear a few tracks are in serious trouble of trying to stay open
Car counts are low everywhere
Every track is either on life support or failing

Its been many years since this event had enough cars to pay the 3k that it used to, that's why the payout is what they have on the flyer for this year. Heck I think two years ago Jason Mckague won 3 of the 4 super pro races over both days and still walked away with less than 3k. He may chime in on that, because I know he had almost a complete sweep of the weekend.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, its two seperate races for one entry.

I've been viewing this on my phone and just noticed the daily $75 fee, which makes this race on par with our weekly payout vs entry.....still don't know if it is worth the hassle
Thanks for pointing that out Camdup

I have never been and really have no desire to ever go.The horror stories I hear are enough to keep me away, had enough issues there, don't need anymore.
