9 x 55 x $600 = $297,000. This is about 6 times what it costs to put on a State Championship meeting at any other track.

Now you only need $303,000 and that covers the $600,000 track rental.Plus costs to run the event and then make a profit.Are there any more Mr Palmers with deep pockets to run another 3 events???I don't think so
