Just got my flier for next weeks doorslammers at Ohio valley. Saw payout for super stock and stock. 1000 to win. Same as it was at the first one in 1974 when entry was about 20 bucks. Payouts went up .when I won it in 1995 payout was 2000, entry was about 50. Entry now 130-140 for two people,150-200 for diesel, 100 race fuel, 100-150 of you stay on motel 2 nites. So we are up to 500 to 600 to race for 1000 to win and payout back is not much either. It just seems track operators always have their hand in the racers pocket. Come on ,cut payout in half from 20 years ago with over double entry fees. Can race at local track for 1000 in footbrake for 30 bucks. I know, bracket racing ,but its all bracket racing other than the ego thing about going fast with a combo. It's just sad the way the racers are treated by tracks,associations, and manufactures. Just my 2 cents. Still like to run up and down the track, just don't like some of the stuff that goes with it.
