Most of the races we get 80-100 plus cars.
If we get 100 x $170.= $17,000. They are only paying out $3300-4000 tops.
That's a nice profit for someone(s).

You haven't accounted for the expense to actually own and run a track. Taxes,staff utilities etc. A divisional up here used to make money for the track but that's usually not the case anymore. I believe NHRA charges $15,000.00 for the privledge plus you have to buy additional insurance from them for another $5000.00. Add in advertising/promotion and they are in a big hole before the gates open. Bad weather or low car count and it kills the track. That's why a lot of the smaller tracks (at least out West) won't hold divisionals any more.
