    Please explain

    First I've ever saw or heard of this. WOO running in Wisc. Miss Valley. Tonight's show canceled. Friday n Sat show still on. Saturday purse was to pay 75000 now they dropped it down to 30000. WTF. Your telling me Thurs preliminary show gets called by rain and that affects the whole purse structure. I call BS. WOO YOU ADVERTISED 75,000 and Ruben even touted it all up but that makes no difference. So are you dropping entry fee for fans , cause your not paying Your ADVIERTISED purse. Plus when was this purse lowering decision made.
    if I was a driver I'd be pretty offended albeit 30 grand Sat show is still a chunk of change. What a way to run a business.

    How did you know that was woo decision? That could have been promoter/track that made that choice.

      Did you stop to think it might have been the track that lowered the winner's prize money? If the track is providing the winners / purse money, it's very likely them that cut the payout,

        They raised Fridays winners share to 25k up from 10k. Seems fair to me

          1/3 less revenue from a huge event, Thursday and Friday help pay Saturday's purse. No Thursday = cant pay $75k to win. Pretty simple. MS Thunder is one of the best ran tracks in the country

              Nothing to see here. Sounds like someone has good business sense.

                Not true some tracks Woo leases out and pays the purse. Like illini 100 I know for fact woo leases it. All tracks that you get reserved seats from woo website usually is ran by woo

                      Fans aren't losing on out on anything they run just as hard for $3k to win as a million to win.
