PAPosse Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Found this on one of my favorite websites. I thought maybe it would make a good read and sort of fits here. It's geared more toward race track operations, but this thread has sort of headed that way. Please don't take this as me telling anybody how they should run their track or race team. While I have my opinions from time to time, I know I'm no authority on it. It's only to generate some thought and conversation that may spark a positive change. http://www.3widespicturevault.com/SENIOR_M...BPT_0073S_1.htm While you're at it, if you've never checked out the site...it's an interesting one if you appreciate racing history.

neon14 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have always wondered why the driver and car had to pay to get in the pits. After all we are technically contract labor. Paid on our performance. Here is a funny story. Years ago there was a 2 night event in corpus. It paid 500 to win for the minis. Unfortunately the car count was not high enough so it only wound up paying 250 to win. Friday night I bought 5 pit passes. Me, wife, mom, dad, and pit helper. $125 Saturday night I bought 7 passes. Me, wife, both kids, mom, dad, pit helper. $175 Also on Saturday night my boss, his wife and 3 kids, his friend and wife and 1 child also bought pit passes. $200 Thats 500 dollars in pit passes for friends and family. Sure some of them could have sat in the stands but they wanted to be in the pits. I basically paid the purse for almost the top 3 spots in the feature event. Anyway you look at it, its club racing. And I'm OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
