I was shocked that there were guys that left Lakeside to go to Knoxville with Lakeside paying 50G Saturday night. Wow. 

A

When Kyle and Brad are about locks for the big money there isn't much different in the purse the rest of the way down. Knoxville pays 6k to win and 4k for second. Add in a good Point fund and I'm surprised some guys like Williamson traveled at all especially to the WoO show at Eldora. Too each their own but the pay difference from 3rd on back of the high limit or WoO shows isn't much different from Knoxvilles standard purse with much less stuff competition if we're being honest. Then if you factor in travel and time it makes even less sense to travel but I understand your talking about the guys that we're already down at Lakeside.

The top WOO or HL racers make it hard to make top 5/10. Many of the same racers can be competive at Knoxville. Really dont need 50 cars to make a good show as 25 go home with not much to show. Guys like bottom WOO card carriers have better chance of making show when the field is less than 30 cars.

I don't want to sound disrespectful, but realistic.  There wasn't a single car that showed up at Knoxville with a realistic shot at $50,000 in Lakeside.  

Agree but Brown could have had a good chance ar Knoxville havent seen HL payback  but be surprised if 8th paid $6K

Signature here.

Thanks for posting purse interesting after top three the scale is about 1/2.Curious what tow money is for non qualifers. When some say it takes $10K to run a top team makes you wonder how.

Surprised to not see Riley Goodno at Knoxville last Saturday! Was he at Lakeside or is he still racing??

I think he got wrecked pretty bad on Friday night?  I'm not 100%, but I seem to remember that.
