I never mentioned dividing the purse. I suggested a third race, in addition to class and the eliminator. Call it a gamblers, combo, or whatever you want, to run the same day if there is a test day.

We run one on Sat. the day before the Lee Sherman race at MD with/after the test and tune, and it does not take any money from the guaranteed purse for the LS race on Sunday. Put up $50 per racer and run for the money.

Mike B's response makes perfect sense to me, the number of anticipated racers would not cover his costs for another days rental for even earlier parking for the event. You can't expect a promoter to take a days loss for our enjoyment, our fun is someone else's business.

My suggestion was, if there is a test and tune, schedule and run a combo race for the same day and track rental if possible. IT could be racer's entry is the pot or entry plus $5-10 to cover the costs.
