But the original purse was no where near $5K to win.  That was the "pop-up" aspect of this race, just like when they raised the purse for the Crate Late Models opposite the Jook race at the last minute.  

What's the crime with increasing the purse as long as both races were already on the schedule?

It's a nice gesture for the regular cars that support the track, but it shuts the door to any outsiders. Instead of bringing in big block mods, sprints, late models, etc. I think the track would do better by putting that energy into growing their regular divisions.

For clarification, it also wasn't $1500 to win for prostocks. There was $1000 bonus money for the highest finishing latrobe regular. To qualify for the money you had to have raced in 50% of the regular shows. The rest of the purse was normal. So it's no surprise that more cars didn't show up for it.

100% agree they took $100 out of the pay because they either forgot or didnt collect that entry fee. Wont dispute that. But they never cut the purse because they didnt get the car count they wanted. I remember one year at Fallfest Challenger told the emods while in lineup for the feature they were cutting the purse. Never forgot that. Or at the King of the Knob they told emods after hot laps they were cutting the purse and we could go home if we didnt like it. I was speaking of situations like that. Mileys always pay, like them or not.

I guess we agree to disagree. I was really looking forward to a beer and a hamburger.....

Dirt- Ill buy you a beer and a Miley burger if you can provide one specific example of the Mileys themselves stiffing a driver on pay. Ive been involved with the track in some capacity basically my whole life and have never seen or heard of that one time. Ive actually heard the opposite- people may hate how the Mileys run things but theyve never stiffed on pay.

There was a crate race many years ago now in which everyone was docked $100 or so from the advertised pay because of a "entry fee we forgot about."
