Gary, not quite sure where you want to go with this ? However, i'll tell you my experience with the locals around here, all the years anna & i ran the mods it was benifical for everyone to get something back. Hardly ever did anyone worry about the " win " money, most were concerned about getting something back, i made sure of this every year, you saw we had lots of cars back then. Times are not the same but i'd bet its best to get a little something. Remember one thing ! The fast cars will be there no matter what, you need to keep the mid-pack and rear pack cars happy, they are there to have fun, keep them happy ! Just my 2 cents...but what do i know...RJ
