This was announced at the North/South. The North/South uses the same format, and the promoter of DTWC was there and liked it

I just seen the payout....ehhh, I wish they would've spread the wealth a lil more throughout the field, instead of making it top heavy. What did they for 2nd in previous years? I'm thinking it was 20k? If so, all they done was add 50k to the winner and didn't touch the rest.

1. 100,000
2. 20,000
3. 10,000
4. 7,000
5. 5,000
6. 3,500
7. 3,200
8. 3,000
9. 2,800
10. 2,500

It drops $50 from there on back. I know it's basically the same payout as the dream, I don't agree with the dream payout either.

I would much rather see 75K to win and put the other 25K on the bottom. Make it 3K or 4K to start. When are promoters gonna learn, that you'll get more regional/locals if you pay more to start.

If they haven't learned by now, I don't think they ever will

keep it 50k to win, and spread the other 50k back thru the entire field.

Love to c it spread out and not top heavy! B nice to c $4000 to start. Excited to go. Hopefully weather will cooperate. Not sure how I feel about the passing point tho? Seems hard for a fan sitting in the bleachers to keep up with it. Idk?

I'd treat it like a music festival. I'd create a budget and offer guarantee money to the drivers I want to show up. Touring drivers would be like touring bands. That is your headlining draw. Indy drivers like Marlar, the Moyers, McDowell etc would be paid to show up. Whatever is left goes to the purse and drivers that aren't going to draw are going to compete for pride, prestige and whatever purse money they can make based on their skill.

The key is treating all drivers with respect. If you do better at the gate then you thought, then you throw a little more cash towards the start money for the drivers that aren't getting a guarantee. Word gets around. The next time everyone wants to race in your show and the fans want to show up.

I know it isn't as easy to do as I make it sound. In a sport like this there simply isn't enough money to go around at most tracks. The concept is the simple though. If you want the sport to survive, you gotta pay your talent a livable wage and you have to give your fans a good experience for their money.

The day that there are no longer any more boring time trials will be a great day.

This event will draw a hundred cars .... All of the fastest cars in the country will be there ..... What more do you want ???? Maybe you should pay 10000 row money with No entry fees so all of the Brian grays will show up also ??!!

Points passing the way to go, no doubt about. It was quite entertaining at Florence this year.
