With that many entries and fans why is the pay out so small and only ten places. Pullers put on the show, 40 2wds or super farms you think they could pay back farther. 15th or maybe 20th, alot travel a long way. |

IMHO the payout for any class in any organization is an indication of how many vehicles they want. If they only pay 5 places they don't want more than 7 or 8 in the class. If they only pay 10, they must only want 12-15. |

But when they know they are getting 30-40, and it is the biggest show of the year why not pay more? |

They don't want or need the other 15 there. You go to the store to buy 15 bolts & they offer to give you 15 more. You say 'I don't need them & don't have a use for them'. They say 'we don't either, take them along'. Are you going to give them extra money for the bolts you don't want or need.
Until the class numbers drop & the attendance drops becasuse fan's don't feel they are getting their money's worth the payouts will not improve. It's simple business economics & like it or not pulling as a whole is a business. |

You make an excellent point, but let me put it in even easier terms to understand, "they don't have to". (then insert your 15 and 15 bolt theory here) They only HAVE to pay the purse in the rule book, as a matter of fact Dave encourages that is all they pay! If you up the anty at your pull he would be expected to do it at his and that's not what he wants. Northwest has began to pay a raised purse and said the days of writing $100 checks is over, but do you really think if for one year the Blue Shirts said "this year we are not paying a purse" that no one would go to pull at BG? |
