No meeting that I know about. The track just changed hands. This is the first year for the new owner. All I know is it is cheaper with better payouts to Race at Brainerd and they have way more over head than this track.
Doing the math it takes very few cars to cover the posted payout.

Your choice appears obvious, go to Brainerd and take as many of your friends as you can with you and after you do make sure that the Track Operator understands why his car count is low and what you guys as his customers expect if he want if he wants your business.
The people who purchased or run the track are in business to make money so unless this change in payout affects their abiltiy to make a profit they have no reason to change it.

I noticed that too.

For sure not a favorable payout, on what is usually a low car count track in the first place!

In MN, Brainerd or Grove Creek are your better bets in my opinion.

Wow, those are the worst entry to payout ratios I've seen... Sportsman Class is By Far the worst, followed by the rest of the classes which are 40-50% higher entries and between the same to 20% less payouts. That's gross!

It sounds like an NHRA/IHRA payout vs national event entry and expense to me.

Piedmont does 2,000 to win with rd money not sure about the rest of their program

The rest are some where in the middle. Most let you double enter, 2 rds of BB, and very TOP HEAVY purses

I like the Calcutta, Our two semi local tracks run a Dialing for Dollars pot.
Based on the last TT.
It seems like they are different. One can be closest to dial, the other is best package.
The buy backs are a big deal ,too.
I had a buddy that raced at a low car count race do his second round buy back for $25 and put him in the semi with $50 pay out.
