I checked the website and the payout is not listed. Please list the full payout so I can see if it is worthy of the $32 you are charging for a pit pass.

Thanks Devil but Im hoping for a better than normal payout with a $32 pit pass. And it makes me mad that theyre obviously reading and IGNORING my question which is a poor way to treat the people who they want to support them. One more time Jumpstart what is this Saturdays Mod payout ?

$32 is a joke !!!! We went to portsmouth 2 weeks ago for the fred dillow memorial and it was $22 for a pit pass ...... And they paid big money in every class !!!!

Agree.. $32 dollars for a $1500 dollar to win late model show is a joke. To my knowledge, Richmond's pit pass has been $30 dollars all year for a regular show. I understand tracks have bills to pay like everyone else, but geeeeez...

Yeah. They say its $25 for a regular show but they call every week they race something special and charge $30. The Butterball was only $35 so $32 for this week is ridiculous. I think I've only paid $25 once this year.

We have race there all year and a regular show is $30.00 for pit pass, they are only charging two extra dollars to help cover the late model purse. With things the way they are I really don't think this is too high, and we have a modified. You know its not like a few years ago when a track could almost count on 25 to 30 cars per class, if you race you know car count is really really low at every track this year. So in order to have a place to race I don't mind the two dollars. Also this same track this year had a big modified race and they gave us EXTRA money because they had such a good turn out. How many tracks have you been to that have done that? None!!!
Just my opinion and I know every one has one!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Devil, $35 dollars for the Butterball ($7500) race was a good deal. You can't argue with that.
