    If this is a one off deal and the promoter has enough money from lottery winnings and able to live off the winnings the rest of their life; how are they going broke?

    Huck - This would only be a one time thing. My thinking is being able to give back to the racers and teams who support dirt racing and put one a off show like this.

    Understand the payout could be adjusted a bit.
    Reason for the high tow money is a thank you to those who supported the event like those weekly drivers but at the of the four days end up missing the big show.

    I see a few of you understand where I’m coming from.

          It takes a great big set to compete there. It's elbows up all the way around. It's like watching fighter jets inside of a high school gymnasium.

            I don't think most are afraid of the place, they just don't like having to replace all that gets torn up while you're there. Not many single car incidents at the Taz.

              As BK said. It has nothing to do your ballsack. You wreck, you get trashed. Not a lot of passing.

              I wanna go there, don’t get me wrong. I do. But one time and I think the novelty will wear off. Somewhere that is known for good car counts, and that is not The Taz.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                  That sounds marvelous.

                    I would pay every driver appearance money to show up and race. The race would be for IMCA type modifieds. No cubic inch limit and aluminum heads would be allowed. The track would be Bellville, Kansas. I would sit back and enjoy watching the race and hope I made enough money to make the race an annual event.
