Sounds about right. But that probably assumes that the event runs according to plan. If the race is postponed, the track operator has to pay people to come back another day with no additional entry fees. Delays can mean overtime for employees, etc.

Some of the races I went to got 170 cars or so. So if 130 is break even, 170 does not leave a lot of profit margin for the track.
