[Chris Thomason]

Second or third year in a row Drrp has cancelled sas. Anyone know the scoop between Bob and SAS?? Tire thing?

[castone]

Have not seen anything on their site about why cancelling the SAS races, and can't even find a schedule for DRRP !?

[LMNED10]

I heard that Bob lost big money on his WOO show and that he was cutting back on the SLM tours for now. YOu know Bob he wakes up in a different world everyday

[3 wide]

He can blame it on woo if he wants too but those races were never on the schedule at the start of the year I new they weren't going to run those races.

[3 wide]

If he would build some grandstands he might make some money when you fill the grandstands an don't makes any money you should figure it out.

[Slinging]

I heard and know for a fact he brought in over $27,000 just in the grandstands during the Woo race not counting the Pitts which was jam packed at $40 a lick

[dirt crow]

I just don’t see how you lose money when having Outlaws or Lucas. Tracks are packed out every time they come to town.

[Mams]

Does anyone know how much WoO and/or Lucas sanctioning fees are?

[champion24]

I've heard $40-50k for National races and $15-20k for regionals. Ult,SAS

[LMNED10]

I know WOO sanction fees are $8,500 plus you have to let the contract drivers in free, the purse is around $50,000 plus locals, advertising, insurance and help you looking at a 65-70K investment to put one on and I can see where you can lose on the WOO show, that is expensive folks

[B_K]

Everyone’s least favorite subject apparently......math.

1500 @ 30 $45000
750 @ 40 $30000

Total gate $75000
Concessions $7500
Total income $82500

Lucas/WoO purse fees/ insurance $72500
Advertising $2500
Purse for local divisions (assuming 3 classes) $5000
Food/supplies $2500

Total $82500


And you haven’t paid a power bill, wrecker service, ambulance, or track workers yet.

Some are home runs, but you get dealt a bad hand weather wise and it can go south in a hurry. I have no doubt Duck River probably did take in $27,000 at the front gate. Bad part is that’s way short of where he needed to be.

[LMNED10]

I can agree with those numbers especially here in the south. We do not have the crowds at the tacks they have up north as you see why that 75% of the national tours race their races up north. Too much of a chance with tracks in the south too much to do during the weekend, racing in the south is not a top priority as it is up north to the fans.

Regional racing in the south seems much stronger to me then in PA/oh/wv

[dirt crow]

Racing up north way better I’ll agree with that.

But I’m really curious how N Ga made out with the Lucas race. The place was beyond packed. ...Lucas race at The Mag same thing.

[Clayton_Wetter]

And when you have 5,000 or 6,000 fans?????

[LMNED10]

I can agree on those fans numbers no tracks down here have those kind o numbers to pull in to make any money with one of those shows. Also, I think that we have too long of a racing season in the south we practically race year-round down here so we burn fans out on racing.

[TerryM]

B_K ...

Your example of 2,250 fans and $7,500 taken in for concessions equates to less than $3.50 per fan. The last time I spent less than $5 at the concession stand was ... never. I agree with your overall point, but that concession figure is way off.

I’m curious as to what your dividing point is for north and south, and what you mean by too much to do during the weekend in the south?

Except I’d bet 1/3 to 1/2 don’t spend a dime at the concession stand. Especially at tracks that allow coolers. I can’t remember the last time I spent more than 5-7 bucks at a track stand.

My purse for three classes is probably 1200-1500 low.
