Is it going to happen?

Dome is being used more with out the rams ,not saying the dome is a go though , they bettter have a agreeable payout if if happens
If it's true they didn't pay a single car that didn't make the deal??? That's weak because there was over a million that came through those gates that weekend. These guys bust their as$es and deserve a minimum 3-500$ for showing up. I'm sure the sponsors paid more than enough to pay the pot in both supers and modified cars. Money is the root of all evil!
You would be better off getting a new NFL team and wipe up the dust. That ain't no race track joint!!!!Quote:

Maybe someone that knows something about expenses could fill us in....Like what the cost of renting the facility for the 5 or 6 days to prepare the track, run the show and clean it all up.....Including cost of bringing in the dirt, barriers, machinery and such to get the job done.Quote:

What about TV revenue? Is that include in league sharing?
Not sure but it was a little over $7 billion. Teams make money obviously from playing away games as well. But keep in mind though majority of the stadiums aren't owned by the teams.Quote:

Better starting hyping this race now.
no dummy, not the dirt race the dome makes more money geesh you can't be that dumb it frees up the dome and facilities to do other things, for instance, you can not get a date from now until the end of July , that's not me saying that that is the media and dome saying thatQuote:

That covers one player's outrageous contract!
That is what I am trying to find out, the cost of putting this deal on, I know it was not cheap, and bottom dollar is for promoter to make money, but if he had tremendous expenses on the logistic side he might not have had the money to pay those who did not make the showQuote:

If these payout posts im reading on here are true, I assure you the turnout for a second race will be substaintially less as far as car count. Im sure the cost to put the show on were very high, but if the promoter thinks racers wont remember? .....theyll remember.
How do u know what it cost to put this show on? 70 cars @ $500 is $35,000, kind if a lot. I'm sure after year one is down they will have a better idea what they can afford to pay.
On Wednesday of Chili Bowl week I was lucky enough to attend a midday luncheon out at the Zink Ranch just North of Tulsa. Emmett Hahn, promoter and one of the founders of The Chili Bowl, had a question and answer period as part of that luncheon. He was asked what the rental fee was for this year's Chili Bowl Nationals. Emmett said the rental alone for this years event was just over a quarter of a million dollars. Emmett went on to explain that figure didn't include any of the equipment rental or labor involved in building the track and costs for security.
I have no way of knowing but I wouldn't be surprised that the dome rental would be as much or possibly even more than the Tulsa Expo Center when all is said and done.
