I think what is trying to be said is that if you really want a larger and truly a National field then you need to a bigger pay out. It is hard to justify spending $2500 to go win $1000 and your going to spend that much even if you don't win. I don't think anyone is asking the race track to come up that money but USLC to just spread some of their NC money around a little. I know we don't race for money but you can't ask most people to come out of pocket and expect that big of car count from out of towners. The biggest expense of the Nationals is the travel cost. This is why I suggest to have it in a central location that is a none regular Legends area. JMHO
