    100 car in the pits with 10 people per car is 1000 people …. 1000 x 25 = $ 25,000 at the gate …. ppv is $ 15 x 1000 paid viewers = $ 15,000 … Part of the ppv goes to the track ….

      How much of that money is given back to the track is it a 50-50 split and also what about the races on Mav TV that the lucas oil series does live is there any money from those races that is given back to the track. What about the replays of the races that we all keep seeing any money generated from those get back to the track or is it all kept by the series

        10 people is a lot to have in your pit area. I promise we won't.

          I would support my local tracks selling t-shirts / hoodies & hats …. Might be cool to have one that says I survived the 2020 race pandemic

              Can’t blame them. Better then getting bugged every week asking if they are racing. Plus this will probably allow them to change there schedules up a little bit

                Bob Hubbard - all the tracks opening are having no where near 100 cars. Most are doing two or three classes of cars with 20 - 25 cars. Regardless, the pit passes are essentially going to pay for the purse for the evening as every track has announced they are paying a full purse.

                So, with your pay-per-view model. How much do you think a track is making at the end of the day in your senerio? I am not belittling your post... I am asking a serious question. At the end of the night from pay-per-view, will the track be in the red or the black and by how much?

                Respectfully,

                  I'm not the promoter for any of the tracks … My guess is all tracks are hurting for funds now … I think this is a test to see how it goes … I know some tracks have been doing private testing for an income but likely need a lot more … The way I read/heard it was there is a separate entrée fee for the car ? Im not sure how much of the money is paying back … Your prolly right the money from the ppv isn't going to be a lot …. I look at this like the major restaurant chains that are selling food for pickup only …. We have local steak houses selling packages of steaks at a discount price here … One I was at is sold out already today …

                    There's an entry fee per car. The percentage of each top 5 in the class are posted. There not paying out of gate money. They don't got a 100 fans in the stands at a normal race. There plan is to get them in the pits at a higher price to enter.

                        I hope the Track makes it mandatory for everyone entering the track to wear a mask ….

                          Brushcreek will get 60-80 enduro cars alone, with 4-5 people per car.

                            Wearing masks should definitely be mandatory in the near future.
