Where are they getting the payout money, and how long can they keep paying out like that?

Will be interesting to see how this plays out for Tri City. I really don't see large numbers of Lernerville teams going to race up there, maybe a few of the Sprint and Mod teams that are closer and further North. I would say it does probably take away any Northern Late Model or Sprint teams that would sometimes go to Lernerville on occasion.  The purse structure up there almost seems to good, like how can they sustain it? Especially, considering they have two other classes to pay out.

I think that the real draw for drivers will be the open tire rule. They can run better and less expensive tires. But yeah, time will tell.

What are the odds that Tri-City will screw the drivers by cutting the payout if they don't get X amount of cars.

It would make Tri-City a tow once and don't go again track.

 

I think odds are good Lernerville will not reduce payout because of Tri-City taking cars from them.

Not because they think the cars will be back but because there more dependable for the racers and will have fans in the stands no matter what Tri-City does.

Might Lernervilles Sunday mini series also be a way to throw a nail in the coffin of Tri-City for going to Fridays and being another area track running on Fridays?

The mini series may be intended to make it economically impossible for Tri-City to go back to Sunday's effectively closing the track for screwing with them?

 

We have no idea what conversations if any went on behind the scenes between track owners or if there pissed at each other?

The Sundays at Lernerville give them more content for their streaming service, Tri City already has some Sunday races scheduled against them later in the season.

I was going to go but went to a benefit skikki dinner in the afternoon so didn't make it to Lernerville.

 

I watched it on Dirt TV and the car quality and racing was great and wish I could have made it there.

 

Dirt didn't show the stands and the pit bleachers were mostly empty.

I hope they had a good or great crowd because with the quality I saw on Dirt it's a want to go to race day for me.
