Dirt million

who Thinks what about this race and why?

[Highside Hustler25]

I don't think it will be a "Million", but it will be a really great purse with a good promoter. Win win.

Haven't seen the payout through the feild but it looks to be another great event that could turn into somthing big. we plan on attending

I don't think it will hit 1 million. Also I think it wont rival the World 100 on car count but it will surpass the Dream. You will get the normal 40 or so Lucas guys that would show there and maybe 35 or 40 more guy that want the money. So I will say 75 to 85 cars. About 10 years or 15 years ago if Eldora did this you would have seen 240 cars just not that many around as far as regional or local guys to draw from. Also in August a lot of tracks running points.

I wouldn't go to a race not knowing the purse ahead of time. The guys that did that for Dome I, were very disappointed.

[Pennsboro23]

You will have your 12 Lucas guys, a handful of WoO like Sheppy, Moran, Turbo, etc. It will draw a lot of regional guys within 3-4 hours from Mansfield I would think. (Carrier, Drown, Carpenters, Dohms, C. Conley, Hawkins, Markham, etc.) I will guess 75-85 lates.

It’s 100000 to win 2000 to start

Her is the problem with this there is no incentive to donate money for example if you gave them a shirt for a 100 a shirt that they could only get by making a donation and so on as the donation goes up other wise how you going to feel and how is the other person going to feel if you go in and sit down and the guy next to you tells you he donated a bunch of money that's messed up its not a bad idea if you give the people something for making a donation.

They like to say this will be the largest purse in dirt racing lets get the facts straight it will not be highest paying race even if they get to a million dollar purse.Eldora ran a million just to win race.

Yes Eldora purse was 1.2 million and the entry fee was $500. They probably made around $140,000 on entries alone. That is unheard of and will never happen again IMO.

that's a big money month potentially hope it works out

85 to 87 dollar admisions to 16,000 fans equals 1.8 million. Then add a huge sponsorship from J W Hunt, the consessions, vendors row intake, parking and camping incomes, programs and lineups, the bar make a killing. They still made BIG money.

It's a 100,000 to win, 2,000 to start race...any other money is just bonus money folks... Why wouldn't they get 80 to 100 cars...there are no big races scheduled against it...it's as much money as any race has paid in the last 15 years..and dont forget when you guys talk about 200 cars at eldora back in the day, remember a lot of guys entered and qualified 2 cars back then...if gateway can get a 100 cars for 30,000 , i'm sure they will come for a hundred grand...
...just sayin

Eldora pays 100,000 to win every year.
