Flam starts 24. I'm sure Del wouldn't begrudge the extra $725 if 28 cars showed up!

I'm quite sure they'd make up the extra at the back gate alone.

I know it's a different area, but a high purse (55,000) with uncommon rules (MAARA/Lake Erie vs. Lancaster/Motordrome) didn't help Lake Erie much with their big race on Saturday...

It could be argued a couple different ways. If you finish at the bottom of the pile at Flam, you get 350, compared to 200 at Del.

Winner at Del doesn't get as much, but bottom half of the top 10 pays better than Flam.

True, it could be argued in many, many ways.  The real premise of my post was to show that $500 less to win doesn't translate into Delaware not paying the drivers as well as Flamboro.  You can see that the total purse is very similar and the breakdown by position is just personal preference.

FWIW,if you add up positions 1-6 at both tracks,the payout is the same($8400).I believe that Flammie also pays /paid at least $200 tow money for their specials as long as you turned a lap in a heat.My guess is that the title sponsor might have final say on how to divide up the payouts after consulting with the track(s).

Try it this way

Can you name some of the drivers in the picture? I know 43.
