Dirt Million

[kipling]

I question why 50% of extra money raised goes into the winners pay. $100,000 isn't enough already for the winner? Let all the extra money raised go to the 2nd place on back. Including the non transfer drivers and you would have more cars show up.

I'm betting the entry fee will be $1000.00 ....you need 250 cars to get $250,000. That takes a lot of pressure off the promoter.

I would say that the entry fee would be the standard Lucas Oil fee, like $ 125 or $ 150 was what I paid this year.

I have been going to dirt track races for over 50 years this is the most ridiculous thing I've heard of I got one question who is going to count the money now this could work if it was done another way if you gave the people something special such as seats limited apparels etc you have to separate the people donating money from the people not donating money.I know this is a nice place but I think it is a little of the path for late models it is really in sprint country.

Mansfield is very central to both lates and sprints. Now the rest of what you said, to each their own.

A car with the best aspects of each of those chassis would probably be stupid fast if you could get it set up right, lol.

It wouldn't be faster than a Rayburn, or is that what it actually is?

I like ole CJ, and at one time he was right, but now they are pretty much all Rumley cars.

The sport passed CJ by, and his unwillingness to change let that happen. The recent developments are too little too late.

I'm going to promote the Obsolete Chassis Driven by Old People Million... Might have a contender in that one.

And just like this million thing lots of dumb people will be sending money without any assurance it will be used like they intended.

So take this event for what is guaranteed. 100k to win and 2k to start. That makes it at least a top 3-5 payout show next year regardless of what else happens correct? Does eldora not post purse increased now exceeds $260k or whatever it is every year for the dream and world? Granted they dont advertise it as the $250k world or anything. The rest is honestly a good way to be able to hype the event up and keep promoting the event all the way til it happens. Every joe blow or corporate sponsor above $500 to $1000 will probably get a facebook post talking about it.
If some fan wants to sponsor a provisional for the worst appearing car to take the green flag, who cares, they injected money into the event and into someones racing budget and its still going to come down to the top 5-10 talents in the race.
Now my only issue with this is once you subject yourself to the viral/social media and crowdfunding type crowd, you are also opening up yourself to the trolls and negative types of that crowd even more. Someone is going to spend $10 donating to the purse and then make 500 posts on 20 different social media sites complaining that they didnt get their moneys worth and should have gotten as much attention as the $20k corporate sponsor did.

It says it is a Lucas Event. Sounds like it should be called the Go Fund Me 100.

I'm just glad it 100 laps.
