Running daily calcuttas has worked out very well for us in the WNYSRA. In general, we get a 90% participation rate, as it's completely optional, and a fairly low-risk way to increase the purse. The pot goes to the racer that entered and goes the furthest in eliminations (typically the overall race winner).
$20 per calcutta entry has worked out well. Generally, nobody thinks twice about spending another $20, and with the number of cars I'm expecting to be in attendance at this event, this should make for a pot of around $500 for the calcutta winner (typically, we see the finalists of the race splitting the winner and runner-up money, but the winner keeping the calcutta money for themselves as their bonus).
I will be more than happy to coordinate the calcuttas for the various classes at this event, if desired.
