What is a good payout? There has been more talk lately about payout at events. So my questions is, what is considered good payout for a particular class? What are some of the events that have had good payout? What should it pay to win points in a particular class? Everyone would like to see big payouts, but what is a big payout to win? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316553#msg-316553 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:04:22 -0700 Phorum 5.2.23 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316710#msg-316710 good payout http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316710#msg-316710 Supertiquer Pulling Forum Sat, 21 May 2022 20:35:27 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316701#msg-316701 Re: What is a good payout? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316701#msg-316701 Just Sayin’ Pulling Forum Sat, 21 May 2022 10:47:33 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316699#msg-316699 I deleted the last 2 posts... http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316699#msg-316699 Dick Morgan Pulling Forum Sat, 21 May 2022 10:35:45 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316696#msg-316696 Re: What is a good payout? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316696#msg-316696 Jerry Read paid way above the standard purse for Henry, it really brought hardly any extra entries, as most pullers fallow a series and don’t run too much in other places.
One year he had a major local sponsor put up an extra $10,000 to win the mod class. Brought no additional pullers in, and the class was won by Steve Boyd.
Bottom line is pullers will pull. I also don’t believe in the Dolly Parton purse structure either. 8 th place puller has just about as much money invested as 1st place.

The 2 billion dollar base article, is posted to clear up the misinformation that any tractor pull could be the largest revenue stream, into the county.

Any event (motorsport or not), that is at the mercy of weather, pandemics,government interference, or participants threatening to boycott, is not a dependable revenue source.

If there truly all this imaginary profit, it should be directed to tax relief, for monroe county.

Your link is to a website for Fort McCoy. Is that an event? It's a military base right? Hard to compare the 2. FYI around here it's easier to fill the stands at the local fair for a demo derby, figure 8 race or tough truck than a pull, i've seen it first hand. A few local pulls are free, everybody always says how great they are. :S:S

Demo derbies have been popular for ages, but I just can't get into the 4 cylinder derbies.

I remember back where there were big cars, station wagons, even Imperials. That's when derbies were derbies. Also, back before everyone welded everything so that these are little tanks driving around. Old guy rant over....

What I See
In the past 3 years I've been to around 90 pulls and only 6 of them had no seats left..At most places the crowds just keep getting smaller and smaller and if it wasnt for good sponsors, money would have been lost at quite a few events...These days people just arent interested in motorsports of any kind..You could let them in free and they wouldnt come..At several state level pulls we only had 250-500 paid attendance..I felt sorry for the promoters..

How many of those 90 pulls were in 2020?]]> Supertiquer Pulling Forum Thu, 19 May 2022 19:43:48 -0700 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316659#msg-316659 Re: What is a good payout? http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,316553,316659#msg-316659

I'm sure a lot of people leave town. That's common. But the total number of people in town goes way up and those people spend money in Tomah and the surrounding communities.
