Default Re: How much does the Purse have to be to get you to race?

I doubt Wingo would make that trip, its a long drive for him. We race a lot of D3 so we do our testing and meet with him at those races.

We will try to make it for sure, unless we have a family commitment that weekend. Back to back and/or multiple race weekends are great for us. I know you are asking about purse, but we just want more chances to race for the time and travel expense, purse is just an xtra to us as ROI in time or $ for Div/Nat is horrible, any local s/ss association beats it.

I once lost oil pressure in a motor, (freak parts failure) scorched crank and six rods on a Friday at a National Event during class. Dropped it with Dave that Monday, he called me wednesday to pick it up, it was ready for the divisional that weekend. Told me his customers don't miss races because of engine issues. I can only imagine how hard he and the other racers out of L&L worked in their prime.
